A common generalization of Kelley's theorem (concerning measures on Boolean algebra) and on von Neumann's minimax theorem
Kelley's Theorem is a purely combinatorial characterization of measure algebras. We first apply linear programming to exhibit the duality between measures and this characterization for finite algebras. Then we give a new proof of the Theorem using methods from nonstandard analysis.
It is shown that every monocompact submeasure on an orthomodular poset is order continuous. From this generalization of the classical Marczewski Theorem, several results of commutative Measure Theory are derived and unified.
We show that a σ-algebra 𝔹 carries a strictly positive continuous submeasure if and only if 𝔹 is weakly distributive and it satisfies the σ-finite chain condition of Horn and Tarski.
We prove: 1) Every Baire measure on the Kojman-Shelah Dowker space admits a Borel extension. 2) If the continuum is not real-valued-measurable then every Baire measure on M. E. Rudin's Dowker space admits a Borel extension. Consequently, Balogh's space remains the only candidate to be a ZFC counterexample to the measure extension problem of the three presently known ZFC Dowker spaces.
A Boolean algebra carries a strictly positive exhaustive submeasure if and only if it has a sequential topology that is uniformly Fréchet.
We use a new technique of measures on Boolean algebras to investigate narrow operators on vector lattices. First we prove that, under mild assumptions, every finite rank operator is strictly narrow (before it was known that such operators are narrow). Then we show that every order continuous operator from an atomless vector lattice to a purely atomic one is order narrow. This explains in what sense the vector lattice structure of an atomless vector lattice given by an unconditional basis is far...
For any given ε > 0 we construct an ε-exhaustive normalized pathological submeasure. To this end we use potentially exhaustive submeasures and barriers of finite subsets of ℕ.
