Nov 4, 2021 at 7:56 comment added Alex M. @RW: Of course I meant the opposite, that was the whole point of that sentence! Thank you for noticing it, it was late and I was tired when I wrote that.
Nov 4, 2021 at 3:19 comment added R W @AlexM Are you sure you don't confuse pull-back and push-forward? Measures are covariant!

Nov 3, 2021 at 20:44 comment added Danny Stoll @AlexM. $\pi$ restricted to the graph of $f$ is the inverse of the measurable map $(\mathrm{id} \times f):X \rightarrow X\times Y$. If it’s more clear, just go by the second version I wrote, which will clearly always be well-defined for $f$ measurable.
Nov 3, 2021 at 20:40 comment added Alex M. You've got a serious problem here: who guarantees that $\pi (E \cap \Gamma_f)$ is measurable? Remember that measurable maps don't always take measurable subsets into measurable subsets; there are cases when this is true, but they are very restrictive (they require $\pi$ to be injective, among other conditions). So your formula does not define a measure $\gamma$. And remember, the natural operation on measures is the pull-back, not the push-forward. So I am very pessimistic about your project; I believe that it is hopeless, save for some trivial cases.

Nov 3, 2021 at 18:20 comment added Danny Stoll We would take $\gamma(E) = \mu_X(\pi_1(E \cap \Gamma_f))$, where $\Gamma_f \subset X\times Y$ is the graph of $f$. In particular, $\gamma(A \times B) = \mu_X(A \cap f^{-1}(B))$.
Nov 3, 2021 at 18:04 comment added Alex M. How is a (measurable?) map $f:X \to Y$ a particular case of your proposed definition?
