Induction principles for measurable sets, related to π-systems and λ-systems.

Main statements

• The main theorem of this file is Dynkin's π-λ theorem, which appears here as an induction principle induction_on_inter. Suppose s is a collection of subsets of α such that the intersection of two members of s belongs to s whenever it is nonempty. Let m be the σ-algebra generated by s. In order to check that a predicate C holds on every member of m, it suffices to check that C holds on the members of s and that C is preserved by complementation and disjoint countable unions.

• The proof of this theorem relies on the notion of IsPiSystem, i.e., a collection of sets which is closed under binary non-empty intersections. Note that this is a small variation around the usual notion in the literature, which often requires that a π-system is non-empty, and closed also under disjoint intersections. This variation turns out to be convenient for the formalization.

• The proof of Dynkin's π-λ theorem also requires the notion of DynkinSystem, i.e., a collection of sets which contains the empty set, is closed under complementation and under countable union of pairwise disjoint sets. The disjointness condition is the only difference with σ-algebras.

• generatePiSystem g gives the minimal π-system containing g. This can be considered a Galois insertion into both measurable spaces and sets.

• generateFrom_generatePiSystem_eq proves that if you start from a collection of sets g, take the generated π-system, and then the generated σ-algebra, you get the same result as the σ-algebra generated from g. This is useful because there are connections between independent sets that are π-systems and the generated independent spaces.

• mem_generatePiSystem_iUnion_elim and mem_generatePiSystem_iUnion_elim' show that any element of the π-system generated from the union of a set of π-systems can be represented as the intersection of a finite number of elements from these sets.

• piiUnionInter defines a new π-system from a family of π-systems π : ι → Set (Set α) and a set of indices S : Set ι. piiUnionInter π S is the set of sets that can be written as ⋂ x ∈ t, f x for some finset t ∈ S and sets f x ∈ π x.

Implementation details

• IsPiSystem is a predicate, not a type. Thus, we don't explicitly define the galois insertion, nor do we define a complete lattice. In theory, we could define a complete lattice and galois insertion on the subtype corresponding to IsPiSystem.

def IsPiSystem {α : Type u_1} (C : Set (Set α)) : Prop

A π-system is a collection of subsets of α that is closed under binary intersection of non-disjoint sets. Usually it is also required that the collection is nonempty, but we don't do that here.

Dynkin systems and Π-λ theorem

structure MeasurableSpace.DynkinSystem (α : Type u_4) : Type u_4

A Dynkin system is a collection of subsets of a type α that contains the empty set, is closed under complementation and under countable union of pairwise disjoint sets. The disjointness condition is the only difference with σ-algebras.

The main purpose of Dynkin systems is to provide a powerful induction rule for σ-algebras generated by a collection of sets which is stable under intersection.

A Dynkin system is also known as a "λ-system" or a "d-system".

• Has : Set α → Prop

  Predicate saying that a given set is contained in the Dynkin system.

• has_empty : self.Has ∅

  A Dynkin system contains the empty set.

• has_compl {a : Set α} : self.Has a → self.Has aᶜ

  A Dynkin system is closed under complementation.

• has_iUnion_nat {f : ℕ → Set α} : Pairwise (Function.onFun Disjoint f) → (∀ (i : ℕ), self.Has (f i)) → self.Has (⋃ (i : ℕ), f i)

  A Dynkin system is closed under countable union of pairwise disjoint sets. Use a more general MeasurableSpace.DynkinSystem.has_iUnion instead.

Dynkin's π-λ theorem: Given a collection of sets closed under binary intersections, then the Dynkin system it generates is equal to the σ-algebra it generates. This result is known as the π-λ theorem. A collection of sets closed under binary intersection is called a π-system (often requiring additionally that it is non-empty, but we drop this condition in the formalization).

Induction principle for measurable sets. If s is a π-system that generates the product σ-algebra on α and a predicate C defined on measurable sets is true

• on the empty set;
• on each set t ∈ s;
• on the complement of a measurable set that satisfies C;
• on the union of a sequence of pairwise disjoint measurable sets that satisfy C,

then it is true on all measurable sets in α.
