Nonexistence of a continuum-separable envelope for infinite-dimensional Lebesgue measure

Let μ\mu be the infinite-dimensional Lebesgue measure on RN\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{N}}, and let c\mathfrak{c} denote the cardinality of the continuum. A c\mathfrak{c}-separable envelope is the relevant envelope associated with the measure space (RN,μ)(\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{N}},\mu) whose separability cardinal is at most c\mathfrak{c}. Envelope conjecture. There is a model of ZFC in which (RN,μ)(\mathbb{R}^{\mathbb{N}},\mu) does not admit a c\mathfrak{c}-separable envelope. The preceding discussion shows that the case p=2p=2 has a straightforward Hilbert-space classification, while the conjecture concerns the measure-theoretic envelope structure of the infinite-dimensional Lebesgue space and its dependence on the set-theoretic model.
