A sigma algebra (or σ-algebra) is to set algebras what sigma males are to males. The Borel hierarchy (the analog of the male hierarchy) is not a σ-algebra at any countable rank; instead the σ-algebra has the largest possible rank -- ω_1, the least uncountable ordinal (under suitable conditions e.g. [the Polish] space is uncountable. This is known as the non-collapse of the Borel hierarchy). A σ-algebra is closed under countable union, countable [intersection], and relative complement. This means σ-algebras arise [naturally] in the study of measure theory, where the measurable sets form a σ-algebra.
