| | If $latex Y$ is a $latex \sigma(X)$-measurable random variable then there exists a Borel-measurable function $latex f \colon \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ such that $latex Y = f(X)$. The standard proof of this fact leaves several questions unanswered. This note explains what goes wrong when attempting a "direct" proof. It also explains how the standard proof...

| | In a previous post I discussed the Brouwer fixed point theorem and I mentioned the fact that it applies to any non-empty closed bounded convex subset of a Euclidean space, since a subset of this kind is homeomorphic to a closed ball in a Euclidean space. However I did not prove the latter statement. I...

| | The aim of this post is to motivate the idea of representing probability spaces as states on a commutative algebra. We will consider how this abstract construction relates directly to classical probabilities. In the standard axiomatization of probability theory, due to Kolmogorov, the central construct is a probability space $latex {(\Omega,\mathcal F,{\mathbb P})}&fg=000000$. This consists...
