proof of equivalent definitions of analytic sets for measurable spaces
Let be a measurable space and be a subset of . For any uncountable Polish space
with Borel -algebra (http://planetmath.org/BorelSigmaAlgebra) , we show that the following are equivalent
.
- 1.
is -analytic (http://planetmath.org/AnalyticSet2).
- 2.
is the projection (http://planetmath.org/GeneralizedCartesianProduct) of a set onto .
Here, denotes the product -algebra (http://planetmath.org/ProductSigmaAlgebra) of and .
(1) implies (2):Let denote the paving consisting of the closed subsets of . If is -analytic then there exists a set such that , where is the projection map (see proof of equivalent definitions of analytic sets for paved spaces).In particular, implies that is contained in the -algebra .
(2) implies (1):This is an immediate consequence of the result that projections of analytic sets are analytic.
