A subset of a vector space is called countably convex if it is a countable union of convex sets. Classification of countably convex subsets of topological vector spaces is addressed in this paper. An ordinal-valued rank function ϱ is introduced to measure the complexity of local nonconvexity points in subsets of topological vector spaces. Then ϱ is used to give a necessary and sufficient condition for countable convexity of closed sets. Theorem. Suppose that S is a closed subset of a Polish linear space. Then S is countably convex if and only if there exists $α < ω_1$ so that ϱ(x) < α for all x ∈ S. Classification of countably convex closed subsets of Polish linear spaces follows then easily. A similar classification (by a different rank function) was previously known for closed subset of $ℝ^2$ [3]. As an application of ϱ to Banach space geometry, it is proved that for every $α < ω_1$, the unit sphere of C(ωα) with the sup-norm has rank α. Furthermore, a countable compact metric space K is determined by the rank of the unit sphere of C(K) with the natural sup-norm: Theorem. If $K_1,K_1$ are countable compact metric spaces and $S_i$ is the unit sphere in $C(K_i)$ with the sup-norm, i = 1,2, then $ϱ(S_1) = ϱ(S_2)$ if and only if $K_1$ and $K_2$ are homeomorphic. Uncountably convex closed sets are also studied in dimension n > 2 and are seen to be drastically more complicated than uncountably convex closed subsets of $ℝ^2$

We prove: 1) Every Baire measure on the Kojman-Shelah Dowker space admits a Borel extension. 2) If the continuum is not real-valued-measurable then every Baire measure on M. E. Rudin's Dowker space admits a Borel extension. Consequently, Balogh's space remains the only candidate to be a ZFC counterexample to the measure extension problem of the three presently known ZFC Dowker spaces.

We investigate countably convex $G_{δ}$ subsets of Banach spaces. A subset of a linear space is countably convex if it can be represented as a countable union of convex sets. A known sufficient condition for countable convexity of an arbitrary subset of a separable normed space is that it does not contain a semi-clique [9]. A semi-clique in a set S is a subset P ⊆ S so that for every x ∈ P and open neighborhood u of x there exists a finite set X ⊆ P ∩ u such that conv(X) ⊈ S. For closed sets this condition is also necessary. We show that for countably convex $G_{δ}$ subsets of infinite-dimensional Banach spaces there are no necessary limitations on cliques and semi-cliques. Various necessary conditions on cliques and semi-cliques are obtained for countably convex $G_{δ}$ subsets of finite-dimensional spaces. The results distinguish dimension d ≤ 3 from dimension d ≥ 4: in a countably convex $G_{δ}$ subset of ℝ³ all cliques are scattered, whereas in ℝ⁴ a countably convex $G_{δ}$ set may contain a dense-in-itself clique.
