Theorem
Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be a topological space.
Let $V$ be an open set of $T$.
Then it is not necessarily the case that $V$ is an $F_\sigma$ set of $T$.
Proof
Let $T = \struct {S, \tau}$ be a finite complement topology on an uncountable set $S$.
Let $U$ be an open set of $T$.
From Closed Set of Uncountable Finite Complement Topology is not $F_\sigma$:
- $U$ is not an $F_\sigma$ set of $T$.
Hence the result.
