| − | A [[probability space]] is called '''standard''' if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:
| |
| − | * it is [[Measure space#Isomorphism|almost isomorphic]] to the real line with some [[probability distribution]] (in other words, a [[Measure space#Completion|completed]] [[Borel measure|Borel]] [[probability measure]], that is, a [[Lebesgue–Stieltjes integral|Lebesgue–Stieltjes]] probability measure);
| |
| − | * it is a [[standard Borel space]] endowed with a [[probability measure]], completed, and possibly augmented with a [[Measure space#null|null set]];
| |
| − | * it is [[Measure space#Completion|complete]], [[Measure space#Perfect and standard|perfect]], and the [[Hilbert space#L2 space|corresponding Hilbert space]] is separable.

| − | Every standard probability space consists of an [[Measure space#Atoms and continuity|atomic]] (discrete) part and an atomless (continuous) part (each part may be empty). The discrete part is finite or countable; here, all subsets are measurable, and the probability of each subset is the sum of probabilities of its elements.
| + | ------------------------------------------- |
| | | | |
| − | '''Theorem 1.''' All atomless standard probability spaces are mutually almost isomorphic.
| |
| | | | |
| − | That is, up to almost isomorphism we have "the" atomless standard probability space. Its "incarnations" include the spaces $\R^n$ with atomless probability distributions (be they [[Continuous distribution|absolutely continuous]], [[Singular distribution|singular]] or mixed), as well as the set of all continuous functions $[0,\infty)\to\R$ with the [[Wiener measure]]. That is instructive: topological notions such as dimension, connectedness, compactness etc. do not apply to probability spaces.

| − | The inverse to a bijective [[Measure space#measure preserving|measure preserving]] map is measure preserving provided that it is measurable; in this (not general) case the given map is a [[Measure space#Isomorphism|strict isomorphism]]. Here is an important fact in two equivalent forms.
| + | |} |
| − | | |
| − | '''Theorem 2a.''' Every bijective measure preserving map between standard probability spaces is a strict isomorphism.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Theorem 2b.''' If $(\Om,\F,P)$ is a standard probability space and $\F_1\subset\F$ a sub-σ-field such that $(\Om,\F_1,P|_{\F_1})$ is also standard then $\F_1=\F$.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Recall a topological fact similar to Theorem 2: if a bijective map between compact Hausdorff topological spaces is continuous then it is a homeomorphism. Moreover, if a Hausdorff topology is weaker than a compact topology then these two topologies are equal, which has the following measure-theory counterpart stronger than Theorem 2 (in two equivalent forms).
| |
| − | Here we call a probability space ''countably separated'' if its underlying measurable space is [[Measurable space#separated|countably separated]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Theorem 3a.''' Every bijective measure preserving map from a standard probability space to a countably separated complete probability space is a strict isomorphism.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Theorem 3b.''' If $(\Om,\F,P)$ is a standard probability space and $\F_1\subset\F$ is a countably separated sub-σ-field then $(\Om,\F,P)$ is the completion of $(\Om,\F_1,P|_{\F_1})$.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A continuous image of a compact topological space is always a compact set. In contrast, the image of a measurable set under a (non-bijective) measure-preserving map need not be measurable (indeed, the image of a null set need not be null; try the projection $\R^2\to\R^1$). Nevertheless, Theorem 4 (below) is a partial measure-theory counterpart, stronger than Theorem 3.
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Theorem 4.''' Let $(\Om,\F,P)$ be a standard probability space, $(\Om_1,\F_1,P_1)$ a countably separated complete probability space, and $f:\Om\to\Om_1$ a measure preserving map. Then $(\Om_1,\F_1,P_1)$ is also standard, and $A_1\in\F_1\iff A\in\F$ whenever $A_1\subset\Om_1$ and $A=f^{-1}(A_1)$. In particular, the image $f(\Om)$belongs to $\F_1$. (See {{Cite|R|Th. 3-2}} and {{Cite|H|Prop. 9}}.)

| − | ====Quotient spaces====
| |
| | | | |
| − | Theorem 4 (above) will be combined with the bijective correspondence between sub-σ-fields and linear sublattices described in the [[Measure space#Sub-σ-algebras and linear sublattices|corresponding section of "Measure space"]]. Here, as well as there, ''we restrict ourselves to σ-fields that contain all null sets.''

| − | Every measure preserving map $\alpha:\Om\to\Om'$ between standard probability spaces $(\Om,\F,P)$ and $(\Om',\F',P')$ leads to an embedding $f\mapsto f\circ\alpha$ of Hilbert spaces, $L_2(\Om',\F',P')\to L_2(\Om,\F,P)$. It is, moreover, an embedding of linear lattices, and therefore $L_2(\Om',\F',P')=L_2(\Om,\F_1,P|_{\F_1})$ (both embedded into $L_2(\Om,\F,P)$) for some sub-σ-field $\F_1\subset\F$. Clearly, $\F_1$ is generated by $\alpha$ (up to the null sets), and we may say that $(\Om',\F',P')$ is the ''quotient space'' of $(\Om,\F,P)$ by $\F_1$ (via $\alpha$).

| − | ''Existence.'' Let $(\Om,\F,P)$ be a standard probability space and $\F_1\subset\F$ a sub-σ-field; then $\F_1$ is generated by some $\alpha$ (as above), which means existence of a quotient space of $(\Om,\F,P)$ by $\F_1$. Here is how to do it. Using separability of $L_2(\Om,\F_1,P|_{\F_1})$ one constructs a measurable map $\alpha:\Om\to\Om'$ from $(\Om,\F,P)$ to a standard measurable space $(\Om',\B)$ such that a function of $L_2(\Om,\F,P)$ belongs to $L_2(\Om,\F_1,P|_{\F_1})$ if and only if it is of the form $g\circ\alpha$ for some measurable $g:\Om'\to\R$. Taking the image of the measure $P$ under $\alpha$ and applying Theorem 4 one gets a standard probability space $(\Om',\F',P')$ and a measure preserving map $\alpha:\Om\to\Om'$ that generates $\F_1$.

| − | ''Uniqueness.'' If also $(\Om'',\F'',P'')$ is the quotient space of $(\Om,\F,P)$ by $\F_1$ (via $\beta$) then there exists an almost isomorphism $\gamma$ from $(\Om',\F',P')$ to $(\Om'',\F'',P'')$ such that $\gamma\circ\alpha=\beta$, which means uniqueness of the quotient space up to almost isomorphism.
| + | <asy> |
| | + | size(220,220); |
| | | | |
| − | Existence of $\gamma$ (above) follows from the following fact. Let $(\Om,\F,P)$, $(\Om',\F',P')$ and $(\Om'',\F'',P'')$ be standard probability spaces, and $\alpha:\Om\to\Om'$, $\beta:\Om\to\Om''$ measure preserving maps. If the sub-σ-field generated by $\alpha$ is contained in the sub-σ-field generated by $\beta$ then $\gamma\circ\alpha=\beta$ for some (almost unique) measure preserving map $\gamma:\Om'\to\Om''$.
