A set with a distinguished [[Algebra of sets|σ-algebra]] of subsets (called measurable). More formally: a pair $(X,\A)$ consisting of a set $X$ and a σ-algebra $\A$ of subsets of $X$.
 
 
 
''Examples:'' $\R^n$ with the [[Borel set|Borel σ-algebra]]; $\R^n$ with the [[Lebesgue measure|Lebesgue σ-algebra]].
 
 
 
Let $(X,\A)$ and $(Y,\B)$ be measurable spaces.
 
* A map $f:X\to Y$ is called ''measurable'' if $f^{-1}(B) \in \A$ for every $B\in\B$.
 
* These two measurable spaces are called ''isomorphic'' if there exists a bijection $f:X\to Y$ such that $f$ and $f^{-1}$ are measurable (such $f$ is called an isomorphism).
 
 
 
Let $X$ be a set, $(Y,\B)$ a measurable space, and $(f_i)_{i\in I}$ a family of maps $f_i:X\to Y$. The σ-algebra ''generated'' by these maps is defined as the smallest σ-algebra $\A$ on $X$ such that all $f_i$ are measurable from $(X,\A)$ to $(Y,\B)$. More generally, one may take measurable spaces $(Y_i,\B_i)$ and maps $f_i:X\to Y_i$. On the other hand, if $Y$ is $\R$ (or $\C$, $\R^n$ etc.) then $\B$ is by default the Borel σ-algebra.
 
 
 
Given a family of measurable spaces $(X_i,\A_i)$ for $i\in I$, their ''product'' is defined as the measurable space $(X,\A)$ where $X=\prod_i X_i$ is the [[direct product]] of sets, and $\A$ is generated by the projection maps $p_i:X\to X_i$ [3, Sect. 10.B].
 
 
 
''Example and warning.'' Denoting the Borel σ-algebra on $\R^n$ by $ \B_n $ and the Lebesgue σ-algebra on $\R^n$ by $ \A_n $ we have $ (\R^m,\B_m) \times (\R^n,\B_n) = (\R^{m+n},\B_{m+n}) $ but $ (\R^m,\A_m) \times (\R^n,\A_n) \ne (\R^{m+n},\A_{m+n}) $ [1, Exercise 1.7.19]. Denoting $ (\R^m,\A_m) \times (\R^n,\A_n) = (\R^{m+m},\A_{m,n}) $ we have for every $ A \in \A_{m,n} $
 
\begin{align*}
 
&\{y\in\R^n:(x,y)\in A\} \in \B_n \quad \text{for almost all } x\in\R^m,\\
 
&\{x\in\R^m:(x,y)\in A\} \in \B_m \quad \text{for almost all } y\in\R^n.
 
\end{align*}
 
In particular, a set of the form $ \{(x,y)\in\R^2:x-y\in B\} $ belongs to $ \A_{1,1}$ if and only if $B\in\B_1$.
 
 
 
Every topology generates a σ-algebra, called Borel σ-algebra. That is, the Borel σ-algebra on a [[topological space]] is, by definition, generated by the open sets.
 
 
 
''Example.'' The following three σ-algebras on a separable [[Hilbert space]] $H$ are equal:
 
* the σ-algebra generated by the linear functionals $ x \mapsto \langle x,y \rangle $ for $y\in H$;
 
* the Borel σ-algebra corresponding to the norm topology on $H$;
 
* the Borel σ-algebra corresponding to the weak topology on $H$.
 
That is instructive: topological spaces are not a prerequisite to measurable spaces.
 
 
 
The Borel σ-algebra is not the only bridge between topological and measurable spaces. All sets having the [[Baire property]] (sometimes called Baire sets, which may be confusing) are a σ-algebra (generated by open sets together with
 
[[Category of a set|meager]] sets) greater than Borel [3, Sect.8.F]. On the other hand, all compact [[Set of type F sigma(G delta)|$G_\delta$ subsets]] of a [[Compact space|compact]] [[Hausdorff space|Hausdorff]] topological space generate a σ-algebra (smaller than Borel) of sets called [[Baire set]]s in [4, Sect.7.1], [5, Sect.51]. For more general (in particular, uncountable [[Discrete space|discrete]]) topological spaces the definitions of [4] and [5] disagree. Note also the σ-algebra of[[Perfect measure|universally measurable]] sets.
 
 
 
====Older terminology====
 
 
 
Weaker assumptions on $\A$ were usual in the past. For example, according to [5], $\A$ need not contain the whole $X$, it is a [[Ring of sets|σ-ring]], not necessarily a σ-algebra. According to [6], a measurable space is not a pair $(X,\A)$ but a [[measure space]] $(X,\A,\mu)$ such that $X\in\A$ (and again, $\A$ is generally a σ-ring).
