Examples of countable and uncountable Bernstein sets

Mathematics Asked by Newman on January 1, 2021

I’m looking for concrete examples of a countable Bernstein set and an uncountable Bernstein set. I haven’t been able to find or construct any specific examples so far.

One Answer

Bernstein sets are non-measurable, so there are no concrete examples: assuming the existence of an inaccessible cardinal, it is consistent with $mathsf{ZF}$ that all subsets of the reals are measurable.

All Borel sets are measurable, so there cannot be a countable Bernstein set.
