Intersection games and Bernstein sets

James Atchley, Lior Fishman and Saisneha Ghatti

Vol. 18 (2025), No. 5, 813–820
Abstract

The Banach–Mazur game, Schmidt’s game and McMullen’s absolute game are three quintessential intersection games. We investigate their determinacy on the real line when the target set for either player is a Bernstein set — a non-Lebesgue measurable set whose construction depends on the axiom of choice.
