Sets of null (Lebesgue)-measure and sigma compacts

Let $Esubset{mathbb R}$ be a set such that $m(E)=0$, that is, with zero Lebesgue measure.



¿It is possible to find $Fsubset{mathbb R}$ such that $Esubset F$, $m(F)=0$ and $F$ is $sigma$-compact (that is, numerable union of compact sets)?



Obviously if $E$ is numerable, this is trivial.



Moreover, if $m(overline{E})=0$ (where $overline{E}$ is the clousure of $E$), it is also true. Just take $F=overline{E}$ and $overline{E}=bigcup_{ninmathbb N} overline{E}cap[-n,n]$.



I am also interested when $Esubsetmathbb T$, where $mathbb T$ is the unit circle.

  • The real question is if there existe a non numerable nulo set whose clausure has positive mensure and such that it is not contained on any null sigma compact set.
