Should one perhaps also mention what it is?

comment When does a $W^*$-algebra have a standard Borel spectrum?
@Dmitri: I assume $\ell^1([0,1])$ (not $L^1$) is the space of summable functions on $[0,1]$ equipped with counting measure. Of course, here $[0,1]$ is just playing the role of a set with cardinality $\mathfrak{c}$.

comment Existence of dominating measure for weak*-compact set of measures
For future readers: as mentioned below, please note that the weak-* topology here is the one induced by considering measures on $(\Omega, \mathcal{F})$ as linear functionals on the space of bounded measurable functions on $\Omega$ (not continuous functions; $\Omega$ has not been given a topology.) For Mike Jury's comment, the space of all probability measures on $[0,1]$ is not compact in this topology, and for Gerald Edgar's, $x \mapsto \delta_x$ is not continuous.

comment “Uniqueness of extension” results for measures on separable spaces
@Julian: Well, I for one had to think about it for a couple of minutes. If it were my paper, I'd probably at least put in a few words to indicate to the reader how it goes. If you'd like to acknowledge me, my "publication name" is Nathaniel Eldredge. Glad to help!

comment Examples of interesting false proofs
It does constitute a proof of the weak law of large numbers, and it shows that if the limit $\lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^n X_i$ exists almost surely, it must equal $\mu$.

comment A problem on left skip free random walk with negative drift
This site is for research-level questions, and this question is homework-level. It is better at math.stackexchange.com where you have [already posted it](math.stackexchange.com/questions/306151/…).

comment When is a space of measures a measurable space?
And $\mathcal{M}(X)$ here includes all real-valued (i.e. signed) measures on $X$; they need not be positive. So if $X$ is a point then $\mathcal{M}(X)$ is $\mathbb{R}$.

We're not asking for a measure on $\mathcal{M}(X)$, are we? Just a $\sigma$-algebra.

comment Extremal point and probability
Is this fact still true in infinite-dimensional spaces? Say, a separable Frechet space.

comment Extremal point and probability
This doesn't really answer the question, it just rephrases it. Why does this condition imply $\mu$ is an atom?
