We study the generalized Cantor space κ 2 and the generalized Baire space κ κ as analogues of the classical Cantor and Baire spaces. We equip κ κ with the topology where a basic neighborhood of a point η is the set ν: (∀j < i)(ν(j) = η(j)), where i < κ. We define the concept of a strong measure zero set of κ 2 . We prove for successor κ = κ < κ that the ideal of strong measure zero sets of κ 2 is κ -additive, where κ is the size of the smallest unbounded family in κ κ , and that the generalized Borel conjecture for κ 2 is false. Moreover, for regular uncountable κ, the family of subsets of κ 2 with the property of Baire is not closed under the Suslin operation. These results answer problems posed in [2].
