abstract = {Let $(X,\{\mathfrak \{X\}\},\mu )$ be a standard probability space.

In this case the equality $\mu (\cdot )=\int _\{X\}\{\}^\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}\!\!P(x,\cdot )\mu (\mathrm \{d\}x)$, gives us an integral decomposition in “$\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}$-ergodic” components.

AB - Let $(X,{\mathfrak {X}},\mu )$ be a standard probability space. We say that a sub-σ-algebra ${\mathfrak {B}}$ of ${\mathfrak {X}}$decomposes μ in an ergodic way if any regular conditional probability ${}^{\mathfrak {B}}\!\!P$ with respect to ${\mathfrak {B}}$ andμ satisfies, for μ-almost every x∈X, $\forall B\in {\mathfrak {B}},{}^{\mathfrak {B}}\!\!P(x,B)\in \lbrace 0,1\rbrace $. In this case the equality $\mu (\cdot )=\int _{X}{}^{\mathfrak {B}}\!\!P(x,\cdot )\mu (\mathrm {d}x)$, gives us an integral decomposition in “${\mathfrak {B}}$-ergodic” components. For any sub-σ-algebra ${\mathfrak {B}}$ of ${\mathfrak {X}}$, we denote by $\overline{\mathfrak {B}}$ the smallest sub-σ-algebra of ${\mathfrak {X}}$ containing ${\mathfrak {B}}$ and the collection of all setsAin ${\mathfrak {X}}$ satisfyingμ(A)=0. We say that ${\mathfrak {B}}$ isμ-complete if ${\mathfrak {B}}=\overline{\mathfrak {B}}$. Let $\lbrace {\mathfrak {B}}_{i}i\in I\rbrace $ be a non-empty family of sub-σ-algebras which decompose μ in an ergodic way. Suppose that, for any finite subset J of I, $\bigcap _{i\in J}\overline{{\mathfrak {B}}_{i}}=\overline{\bigcap _{i\in J}{\mathfrak {B}}_{i}}$; this assumption is satisfied in particular when theσ-algebras ${\mathfrak {B}}_{i}$,i∈I, are μ-complete. Then we prove that the sub-σ-algebra $\bigcap _{i\in I}{\mathfrak {B}}_{i}$ decomposesμ in an ergodic way.
