Abstract

We prove that for an arbitrary measurable set A ⊂ ℝ2 and a σ-finite Borel measure μ on the plane, there is a Borel set of lines L such that for each point in A, the set of directions of those lines from L containing the point is a residual set, and, moreover, μ(A) = μ({∪[lscr ] : [lscr ] ∈ L}). We show how this result may be used to characterise the sets of the plane from which an invisible set is visible. We also characterise the rectifiable sets C1, C2 for which there is a set which is visible from C1 and invisible from C2.
