Let $E\subset{\mathbb R}$ be a set such that $m(E)=0$, that is, with zero Lebesgue measure.
¿It is possible to find $F\subset{\mathbb R}$ such that $E\subset F$, $m(F)=0$ 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 $\overline{E}=\bigcup_{n\in\mathbb N} \overline{E}\cap[-n,n]$.
IS there a null-set $E$ such that $m(\overline{E})>0$ but $E$ cannot be covered by a null-sigma compact set?
I am also interested when $E\subset\mathbb T$, where $\mathbb T$ is the unit circle.
