Measure and Integration, Fall 2008 Lecture 2 August 7, 2008 1 1.1 Measure Spaces Theorem Let f : Ω → R and let f −1 ([−∞, α)) ∈ A∀α ∈ R. Then f is measurable. 1.1.1 Proof ∞ ∞ [ [ Consider f −1 ((α, ∞]) = f −1 ( [α + n1 , ∞])c = f −1 ([α + n1 , ∞])c = i=1 i=1 S∞ 1 −1 c (f [α + , ∞]) which is measurable i=1 n let α < β ∈ R Then f −1 ((α, β)) = f −1 ([−∞, β) ∩ (α, ∞]) and thus f is measurable. 1.2 Lemma Suppose (Ω, A) is a measurable space, X, Y are topological spaces. Let g : X → Y be continuous and let f : Ω → X be measurable. Then g ◦ f is measurable. Proof Let V ⊂ Y be open. As g is continuous, U = g −1 (V ) is open and as f is measurable, E = f −1 (U ) is measurable. Now (g ◦ f )(E) = V and hence, the preimage of every open set in Y is measurable in Ω 1.3 Lemma Let (Ω, A) be a measurable space and let u, v : Ω → R be measurable functions. Let Y be a topological space and let f : R2 → Y be continuous. Then the function Φ : Ω → Y defined by Φ(x) = f (u(x), v(x)) is measurable. Proof Let V be open in Y . f being continuous, f −1 (V ) is open in R2 . As R2 is second-countable, f −1 (V ) can be ∞ [ represented as countable union of open rectangles. Hence, f −1 (V ) = Ui where Ui = (ai , bi ) × (ci , di ). As i=1 u, v are measurable, u−1 ((ai , bi )) ∩ v −1 ((ci , di )) is measurable for any i. As f −1 (V ) can be represented as countable union of Ui , its preimage in X is measurable. Hence, Φ(x) = f (u(x), v(x)) is measurable. 1.4 Theorem Let (Ω, A) be a measurable space. Let L be the space of all measurable functions f : Ω → R. Then L is a vector space over R, and is closed under multiplication. Proof It follows from Lemma 1.3 that (f + g)(x), (f · g)(x), af (x) are all measurable whenever f, g are measurable. The other properties follow immediately. 1 1.5 Corollary If u, v are real measurable functions, the function f = u + iv is complex measurable. 1.6 Corollary If f = u + iv is a complex measurable function (where u, v are real valued), then u, v, |f | are all measurable. 1.7 Corollary Let E ∈ A be(measurable. The characteristic function of χE : Ω → R is defined as 1 If x ∈ E χE (x) = if x ∈ E; χE (x) = 0 otherwise. 0 If x ∈ E c Then, the characteristic function is measurable 1.8 Corollary Let f be a complex measurable function. Then there exists a complex measurable function α such that |α(x)| = 1∀x and f = α|f | Proof Consider E = {x : f (x) = 0}. We claim that E is measurable, for C \ {0} being open, K = f −1 (C \ {0}) is measurable and hence, E = K c is measurable. E (z) Hence, the characteristic function χE is measurable. Now define the function α as α(z) = |ff (z)+χ (z)|+χE (z) 2 Borel algebra 2.1 Definition Let (X, T ) be a topological space. Then σ(T ) is called the Borel σ-field B. Members of the Borel σ-field are called Borel sets (A countable union of closed sets is called Fσ whereas a countable intersection of open sets is called Gδ . Then all Fσ and Gδ are members of B) (X, B) is called a Borel-measureable space. 2.2 Definition Let (X, B) be a Borel measureable space, let Y be a topological space and let f : X → Y . f is said to be a Borel measurable function iff f −1 (V ) is Borel measurable for every open set V . 3 Exercises Let (Ω, A) be a measurable space, let Y be a topological space and let f : X → Y be any map. Then, 1. M = {E ⊂ Y : f −1 (E) ∈ A} is a σ-field in Y 2. If E is a Borel measurable subset of Y and if f is measurable then f −1 (E) ∈ A 3. If f is measurable and Z s a topological space, g : Y → Z is Borel measurable, then g ◦ f is measurable. 2 3.1 Solutions 1. Let E ∈ M. Then f −1 (E) ∈ A, and hence(f −1 (E))c ∈ A implying that f −1 (E c ) ∈ A Similarly, let E1 , E2 ∈ M hence f −1 (E1 ) ∩ f −1 (E2 ), f −1 (E1 ) ∪ f −1 (E2 ) ∈ A that is, E1 ∩ E2 , E1 ∪ E2 ∈ M ∞ ∞ \ \ Now, let E1 , E2 , . . . ∈ M. Then f −1 (Ei ) ∈ A and hence, Ei ∈ M. Similarly, we can show that i=1 i=1 M is closed under countable union. 2. We already know that if C is a collection of subsets of Y , every element of σ(C) is either a member of C or is a countable union, intersection or complement of members of C. Hence, by the previous result, f −1 (E) is measurable for every Borel set E. 3. Let V ⊂ Z be open. Then, g −1 (V ) is Borel measurable and by previous result, f −1 (g −1 (V )) is measurable. Thus, g ◦ f is a measurable function. 3
