\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma:monotone-borel-characterisation}
Let $X$ be a topological space, then $\cb_X$ is the smallest subset of $2^X$ that:
\begin{enumerate}
\item contains open and closed subsets of $X$.
\item is closed under countable intersections.
\item is closed under countable disjoint unions.
\end{enumerate}
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}[Proof, {{\cite[Lemma 8.2.4]{CohnMeasure}}}. ]
Let $\cf \subset 2^X$ be the smallest subset of $2^X$ satisfying the lemma. Since $\cb_X$ satisfies the lemma, $\cf \subset \cb_X$. On the other hand, let
\[
\cf_0 = \bracs{A \subset X| A \in \cf, A^c \in \cf}
\]
then by definition, $\cf_0$ is closed under complements. Let $\seq{A_n} \subset \cf_0$, then
\[
\bigcup_{n \in \natp}A_n = \bigsqcup_{n \in \natp}A_n \setminus \bigcup_{k = 1}^{n-1} A_k
= \bigsqcup_{n \in \natp}A_n \cap \bigcap_{k = 1}^{n - 1}A_k^c
\]
Since $\cf_0 \subset \cf$ is closed under complements, $\seq{A_n^c} \subset \cf$ as well. By (2) and (3), $\bigcup_{n \in \natp}A_n \in \cf$ and $\bigcap_{n \in \natp}A_n^c \in \cf$. Thus $\bigcup_{n \in \natp}A_n \in \cf$ as well. By (1), $\cf_0$ is a $\sigma$-algebra that contains all open subsets of $X$, so $\cf \supset \cf_0 \supset \cb_X$.
\end{proof}
