# Thursday October 17 ## Review of Tonelli **Theorem (Tonelli)**: Suppose $f(x, y)$ is non-negative on $\RR^{n_1} \cross \RR^{n_2}$ and measurable on the product space. Then for a.e. $x$, we have 1. $f_x(y)$ is a measurable function of $y$. 2. Since it's non-negative and measurable, the integral makes sense, and $$ \int_{\RR^{n_2}} f(x, y) ~dy $$ is a measurable function of $x$. 3. $$ \int\int f(x,y) ~dx ~dy = \int\int f(x,y) ~dy~dx = \int f .$$ *Proof:* > Qual problem alert: useful technique! Essentially use Fubini, and truncate domain/range with a $k\dash$ball. See proof of the *case-jumping lemma* and notes on webpage for details. > We'll never need to dig into the proof of this, but there will *always* be a question related to *applying* it. ## Measurability of Linear Transformations **Theorem:** Let $T \in \GL(n, \RR)$. Then - $f$ measurable $\implies$ $f\circ T$ is measurable. - Contrast to what happens for $g$ a continuous function instead of $T$. - $$ f \leq 0 \text{ or } f\in L^1 \implies \int f = \abs{\det(T)} \int (f\circ T)(x) .$$ - $$ E \in \mathcal{M}(\RR^n) \implies T(E) \in \mathcal{M}(\RR^n) .$$ It suffices to prove this for Borel sets and Borel measurable functions. This can be proved using Fubini. Note that if we choose $f$ to be Borel measurable, then $f\circ T$ will be measurable because $T$ is continuous. > This follows because $\theset{E \suchthat T\inv(E) \in\mathcal{B}}$ is in fact a $\sigma\dash$algebra that contains all open sets. > *Exercise*: Prove this. We can also reduce this to proving the result for $T_i$ an elementary matrix, since if it holds for $T,S$ then it holds for $TS$ because $$ \int f = \det T \int f\circ T = \det T \det S \int f\circ T \circ S = \det(TS) \int f\circ(TS) $$ But this follows from Fubini-Tonelli. > Note that if (3) holds for Borel sets, then (3) holds for Lebesgue null sets. Suppose now that $f$ is just Lebesgue measurable, and let $G$ be open in $\RR$. Then $f\inv(G) = H \union N$ where $H\in G_\delta$ and $m(N) = 0$ and $$ T\inv(f\inv(G)) = T\inv(H) \union T\inv(N) .$$ But by the first part, $T\inv(H)$ is still Borel, and $T\inv(N)$ is still null. So $f\circ T$ is measurable. > Note that this kind of thing usually works -- just establish something Borel sets, then use this characterization to extend it to Lebesgue.
