Regularity of measure in Lemma 7.2.6 of Bogachev












4












$begingroup$


In the book "Measure Theory" of Bogachev, vol. 2, Lemma 7.2.6 states the following.




Let $mu$ be a $tau$-additive, regular Borel measure on a topological space $X$, and let ${f_alpha}$ be an increasing net of lower-semicontinuous non-negative functions such that $f:= lim_alpha f_alpha$ is bounded. Then
$$
lim_alpha int_X f_alpha , dmu quad = quad int_X f , dmu .
$$




In the proof it is quite clear where the $tau$-additivity comes into play. However, I cannot see why we need $mu$ to be regular. Bogachev defines this property in the following way (paraphrasing its Definition 7.1.5):




A measure $mu$ on a topological space $X$ is called regular if for every measurable set $Asubseteq X$ and for every $varepsilon > 0$ there exists a closed set $C_varepsilon subseteq A$ such that $mu(A) - mu(C_varepsilon) < varepsilon$.




Is regularity of $mu$ in Lemma 7.2.6 then really necessary?

    Might it be related to the limit over $alpha$?

    maybe it would be possible that a lower-semicontinuous function would be not measurable if $mu$ is not regular

    @FedePoncio I don't think so, since that's what $tau$-additivity takes care of.

    @Masacroso I don't think so, measurability of a function does not depend on the measure (but only on the $sigma$-algebra, which here is fixed - it is the Borel one).

    @geodude: right, I had missed the $tau$-additive condition. For what its worth, I read the proof and agree it doesn't need regularity anywhere.

I found an authoritative reference: "Measure Theory" by D. H. Fremlin, vol. 4.
Point a) of Corollary 414B therein says the following (the notes in the brackets are mine):




Let $X$ be a topological space and $mu$ an effectively locally finite (for example, finite) $tau$-additive topological (for example, Borel) measure on $X$. Suppose that $A$ is a non-empty upwards-directed family of lower-semicontinuous functions from $X$ to $[0.infty]$. Set
$$
g(x) := sup_{fin A} f(x)
$$

for all $xin X$. Then
$$
int g , dmu = sup_{fin A} int f,dmu .
$$




Modulo the difference in the notation, this implies the assert in the question.
