A compact subset of a metric space is closed, and therefore belongs to the Borel sigma-algebra, as does its complement.

Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, let Td\mathcal{T}_{d} be the collection of subsets of XX that are open in (X,d)(X,d), which is a topology on XX by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology, and let B(X)\mathcal{B}(X) be the Borel σ\sigma-algebra of (X,d)(X,d). Let KXK\subseteq X be compact in (X,Td)(X,\mathcal{T}_{d}).

Then the following hold.

1. (Closedness) KK is a closed subset of the topological space (X,Td)(X,\mathcal{T}_{d}).

2. (Borel measurability) KB(X)K\in\mathcal{B}(X) and XKB(X)X\setminus K\in\mathcal{B}(X).
