The existence of a maximal “cross-sectional” filter on the Boolean algebra of measurable subsets of [0, 1] modulo almost everywhere equivalence

Let $\mathcal{B}([0, 1])$ be the Boolean algebra of measurable subsets of $[0, 1]$ modulo almost everywhere equivalence, i.e., two measurable sets which differ only by a Lebesgue null set are ...

Are arbitrary nonempty intersections of principal filters principal?

Suppose $\langle L,\leq\rangle$ is a lattice with join $\sqcup$. Let $F_1$ and $F_2$ be principal filters on $L$. Thus, for $i\in I=\{1,2\}$ there are $x_i\in L$ so that $F_i=\{y\in L:x_i\leq y\}$. In ...

What's the autocovariance of 2 concurrent hidden states of a stochastic gaussian walk, using the Kalman filter?

A latent variable evolves as $x_t = x_{t-1} + e_t$ where $e_t$ has a gaussian distribution with 0 mean and a variance which defines the volatility of the overall process. Let $o_t$ be the noisy ...

Are the shapes of the $\mathbb{R}^2$ plane and a disk of infinite radius different? Or otherwise, why their areas differ by $\frac\pi{12}$? [closed]

The calculation of the area of the $\mathbb{R}^2$ plane depends on filtering used. I think, the most natural filtering is along the radius in polar coordinates: $$S_{\mathbb{R}^2}=\int_0^\infty 2\pi ...
