Nowhere dense subsets of a dense subspace are nowhere dense in the whole space and vice versa

It seems, with the following lemma, the proposition at the bottom easily follows. If $Y\subset X$ dense. Then, for every nonempty $A\subset Y$, $\text{Int}_Y \left(\text{cl}_Y A\right)=Y\cap \text{...

Equivalent definitions of Baire spaces

We say that a metric space $X$ is a Baire space if there is no open set $E$ such that $$E \subseteq \bigcup\limits_{n\geq 1} F_i,$$ in which each $F_i$ is a closed set with empty interior. Suppose ...

Is there a topological group structure on the Baire Space?

The sum of two irrationals might not be irrational so we can't use that; Also $\mathbb N$ is not a group so there's no obvious way to define a group structure in it seen as $\mathbb N^{\mathbb N}$ ...
