Extension of measures: a categorical approach

Roman Frič (2005)

Mathematica Bohemica

We present a categorical approach to the extension of probabilities, i.e. normed σ -additive measures. J. Novák showed that each bounded σ -additive measure on a ring of sets 𝔸 is sequentially continuous and pointed out the topological aspects of the extension of such measures on 𝔸 over the generated σ -ring σ ( 𝔸 ) : it is of a similar nature as the extension of bounded continuous functions on a completely regular topological space X over its Čech-Stone compactification β X (or as the extension of continuous...

Extensions of Borel Measurable Maps and Ranges of Borel Bimeasurable Maps

Petr Holický (2004)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We prove an abstract version of the Kuratowski extension theorem for Borel measurable maps of a given class. It enables us to deduce and improve its nonseparable version due to Hansell. We also study the ranges of not necessarily injective Borel bimeasurable maps f and show that some control on the relative classes of preimages and images of Borel sets under f enables one to get a bound on the absolute class of the range of f. This seems to be of some interest even within separable spaces.
