Abstract

We establish an extension theorem for kappa-additive probability measures, where kappa is an arbitrary uncountable cardinal. Starting from a <kappa-algebra, we define an outer measure using coverings of cardinality at most kappa and characterise measurable sets by approximation in outer measure of symmetric differences. We prove that these sets form a kappa-algebra carrying a complete kappa-additive extension of the original measure. The extension is unique on the generated kappa-algebra, and its completion is the minimal domain admitting a complete kappa-additive extension. We also establish attainment of the covering infimum and show why the closure assumption on the initial algebra is essential. Examples include a strict extension of classical Lebesgue measure under the additional hypothesis add N = aleph_1 < cov N.

O-segments on topological measure spaces

Let $μ$ be a finite non-atomic measure on a set $X$. A \emph{segment} for $μ$ is an increasing family $u(t)$, $t\in[0,1]$, of measurable sets with $u(0)=\emptyset$, $u(1)=X$ and $μ(u(t))=t\,μ(X)$; by a theorem of Fryszkowski, finitely many measures $f\,dμ$ admit a common segment. We study \emph{open segments}, i.e.\ segments consisting of open sets, when $X$ carries a topology. We show that weak outer regularity of $μ$ is equivalent to the approximability of measurable sets by open sets, and that it holds for every finite Borel measure on a metrizable space. Our main result states that if $μ$ is finite, non-atomic and weakly outer regular, then for all $f,g\in L^1(μ)$ with $(\int f\,dμ,\int g\,dμ)\neq(0,0)$ there is a common open segment for $f\,dμ$ and $g\,dμ$; in particular, for every $f\in L^1(μ)$ there is an open segment for $μ$ which is simultaneously a segment for $f\,dμ$. Relative versions allow one to prescribe an initial set. We also characterize open segments as upper semicontinuous functions with uniform distribution and show that on separable metrizable spaces a single measure admits such a function which is continuous.

A Note On Majorizing Norms on Majorized Spaces

We introduce a new type of norm for ordered vector spaces majorized by a proper (convex) cone that generalizes the notions of order unit norm and base norm. Then we give sufficient conditions to ensure its completeness. In the case of normed Riesz spaces, we also present necessary completeness conditions and describe the completed norm. Finally, we define a particular family of well-behaving sets. Spaces majorized by the cone generated by these sets display surprisingly interesting structural properties. In particular, we generalize two famous standard results in Banach lattice theory. Namely, every principal ideal in a Banach lattice is an AM-space and every Banach lattice having a generating cone with a compact base admits an equivalent L-norm.

The Cesàro Operator, Rhaly operators, and the Toeplitz Algebra

Barr\'ıa and Halmos [\emph{Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.} (1982), (10) Example] asked whether the Cesàro operator belongs to the Toeplitz algebra. We answer this question affirmatively and prove that the Cesàro operator is the product of a Toeplitz operator and a continuous function of a self-adjoint Toeplitz operator. Rhaly operators are a natural generalization of the Cesàro operator. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a Rhaly operator to belong to the Toeplitz algebra or the Hankel algebra. The main approach is to use the Fejér kernels to get localized estimates for operators. This yields a necessary condition for an operator to belong to the Hankel algebra. As an application, we find a class of Rhaly operators that are asymptotic Toeplitz operators and essentially commute with the unilateral shift, but are not in the Hankel algebra. This answers (17) Question in the same paper.
