On partitions of the real line into continuum many thick subsets (Q2356313)

A set \(T\) is thick, in a measure space \((X,\mathcal{B},\mu)\), if the inner measure of \(X\setminus T\) is zero. The author discusses classical constructions of non-measurable subsets of the real line and how they may, or may not, lead to thick sets. E.g. a Bernstein set is automatically thick with respect to Lebesgue measure. He proves, using ZF plus DC only, that from a partition of the real line into two thick sets one can construct a partition into continuum many thick sets.
