Isomorphism of Measure Spaces

Definition

Let $X$ be a measurable space and $A$ a sigma algebra on $X$. Similary, Let $Y$ be a measurable space and $B$ a sigma algebra on $Y$. Let $(X,A)$ and $(Y,B)$ be measurable spaces.

• A map $f:X\rightarrow Y$ is called measurable if $f^{-1}(B)\in A$ for every $B\in B$.

• fdf

Properties

Smooth maps send sets of measure zero to sets of measure zero

Let $U$ be an open set of $\mathbb {R} ^{n}$, and let $f\colon U\rightarrow \mathbb {R} ^{n}$ be a smooth map. If $A\subset U$ is of measure zero, then $f(A)$ is of measure zero.

Mini-Sards Theorem

Let $U$ be an open set of $\mathbb {R} ^{n}$, and let $f\colon U\rightarrow \mathbb {R} ^{m}$ be a smooth map. Then if $m>n$, $f(U)$ has measure zero in $\mathbb {R} ^{m}$.
