Garrido, Theorems 2.6 and 2.7 — subrings of a boolean algebra, measures on them, and the Invariant Extension Theorem
DefinitionGarrido_BooleanExtensionamenabilitygroup-theorymeasure-theory
Definitions for stating Garrido's Theorems 2.6 and 2.7 (p. 7) at the generality printed: for an arbitrary boolean algebra, not only the algebra of all subsets of a set. Garrido writes on p. 7: “Theorem 2.6 (Invariant Extension Theorem). Recall Carathéodory’s Extension Theorem: If is a subring of the boolean algebra and is a measure on , then can be extended to a measure on . If is an amenable group of automorphisms of and , are -invariant, then can be chosen to be -invariant.”
IsBooleanSubring R:Rcontains⊥and is closed under⊔and\. The notes do not define “subring of the boolean algebra”; this is the sense in which Carathéodory's theorem is stated for rings of sets (closed under unions and differences, hence also under meets). It includes the subrings that contain⊤, so the theorems stated with it are at their strongest.IsFinitelyAdditiveOn R μ:μ : A → [0, ∞]withμ ⊥ = 0andμ (a ⊔ b) = μ a + μ bfor disjointa, b ∈ R. A “measure” in the notes is finitely additive with values in (§1); the values ofμoutsideRplay no role. A measure on the whole algebra isIsFinitelyAdditiveOn Set.univ.SatisfiesInvariantExtensionTheorem G: “ satisfies the Invariant Extension Theorem” (Theorem 2.7, item 4), the conclusion of Theorem 2.6 for . For every boolean algebraA, every actionρ : G →* (A ≃o A)of by automorphisms (an order automorphism of a boolean algebra preserves⊔,⊓,⊥,⊤and complements), every subringRwithρ g r ∈ Rforr ∈ R, and every finitely additiveμonRwithμ (ρ g r) = μ r, there is a finitely additiveμbaron all ofAthat agrees withμonRand satisfiesμbar (ρ g a) = μbar afor allganda. The notes speak of “a group of automorphisms of ”; an action contains that case (the inclusion of the group) and asks no more, since the image of an amenable group under a homomorphism is amenable. The algebras range overType (max u v)forG : Type u, as inGarrido.HasInvariantExtensionProperty, so that the algebra of all subsets of is among them.
Garrido.HasInvariantExtensionProperty (the Garrido amenability definitions) is the special case of all subsets of a -set, with an extension of to all subsets supplied as a hypothesis; SatisfiesInvariantExtensionTheorem is the property as the notes state it.
