Beyond Lebesgue and Baire III: Steinhausʼ Theorem and its descendants

We generalize from the real line to normed groups (i.e., the invariantly metrizable, right topological groups) a result on infinite combinatorics, valid for ‘large’ subsets in both the category and measure senses, which implies both Steinhausʼs Theorem and many of its descendants. We deduce the inherent measure-category duality in this setting directly from properties of analytic sets. We apply the result to extend the Pettis Theorem and the Continuous Homomorphism Theorem to normed groups, i.e., beyond metrizable topological groups, and in a companion paper deduce automatic joint-continuity results for group operations.
