Convergence of Weak*-Scalarly Integrable Functions

Let (Ω,F,μ) be a complete probability space, E a separable Banach space and E′ the topological dual vector space of E. We present some compactness results in LE′1E, the Banach space of weak*-scalarly integrable E′-valued functions. As well we extend the classical theorem of Komlós to the bounded sequences in LE′1E.

A decomposition of bounded, weakly measurable functions

ABSTRACT Let (X,A,μ) be a complete probability space, ρ a lifting, Tρ the associated Hausdorff lifting topology on X and E a Banach space. Suppose F: (X,Tρ)-> E”σ be a bounded continuous mapping. It is proved that there is an A ∈ A such that FXA has range in a closed separable subspace of E (so FXA:X → E is strongly measurable) and for any B ∈ A with μ(B) > 0 and B ∩ A = ø, FXB cannot be weakly equivalent to a E-valued strongly measurable function. Some known results are obtained as corollaries.

Evaluating norms of Pettis integrable functions

Assuming that (Ω, Σ, μ) is a complete probability space and that X is a Banach space, we evaluate both the semivariation and the variation norm of a wide class of Pettis integrable functions f : Ω → X.

Completeness of the set of sub-σ-algebras

A new metric is introduced on the set of all sub-σ-algebras of a complete probability space from functional analysis point of view. In this note, we will show that the resulting metric space is complete.

A metric space associated with probability space

For a complete probability space(Ω,∑,P), the set of all complete sub-σ-algebras of∑,S(∑), is given a natural metric and studied. The questions of whenS(∑)is compact or connected are awswered and the important subset consisting of all continuous sub-σ-algebras is shown to be closed. Connections with Christensen's metric on the von Neumann subalgebras of a TypeII1-factor are briefly discussed.

Homomorphism-Compact Spaces

In 1979 Edgar asked for a characterization of those completely regular Hausdorff topological spaces X which have the property that any Boolean σ-homomorphism from the Baire σ-field of X into the measure algebra of an arbitrary complete probability space can be realized by a measurable point-mapping. Those spaces X will be called homomorphism-compact or, for short, H-compact hereafter. It is wellknown that compact spaces are H-compact (cf. [4], p. 637, Proposition 3.4). We will show that the same is true for strongly measure compact spaces. On the other hand H-compact spaces are easily seen to be real-compact. Since the notions of measure-compactness and liftingcompactness (cf. [3]) also lie between strong measure-compactness and real-compactness it is natural to investigate the relations among these notions. Here the results are mainly negative (cf. Sections 4 and 6). Concerning the structural properties of H-compactness not very much can be said so far (cf. Section 7): it is, for instance, unknown whether the product of two H-compact spaces is again H-compact.
