I have a confusion with measurable functions.
I just saw that the statement "The inverse image of a measurable set under a measurable function is measurable" is false with counter-example the function on Cantor set but I know the definition of f measurable is:



Let $f:(X,O_X)to (Y,O_Y)$ with $O_X$ $sigma$-algebra of $X$ and $O_Y$ $sigma$-algebra of $Y$.
$f$ said $(O_X-O_Y)$-measurable function if for all $Bin O_Y f^-1(B)in O_X$.



But, What is the difference with
"The inverse image of a measurable set under a measurable function is measurable? "

    Measurable functions from R to R use the borel sigma algebra in the codomain and the lebesgue sigma algebra in the domain.

It depends what $sigma$ algebra you are considering on the target space.



When everyone talks about measureable functions on $mathbb R$, they mean that $mathcal O_Y$ is the the $sigma$-algebra of Borel sets (generated by open intervals). This means that the preimage of an open interval like $(a,b)$ is measurable, but the preimage of a Lebesgue measurable set may not be measurable.
