On the concentration of Lipschitz functions near its expectation, where the vector has identical but not independent, components
Consider the random vector $X:=(X_1\dots X_1) \in \mathbb{R}^n, X_1 \sim \mathcal{N}(0,1).$ Notice the identical components, they're identically distributed but not independent.
Now, I was wondering ...

Convergence in the narrow topology of measures and strongly converge for signed measures
We say that a sequence $(\mu_{n})$ of measures in $M_{b}(Q)$ converges tightly (or, equivalently, in the narrow topology of measures) to a measure $\mu$ in $M_{b}(Q)$ if
$$\lim_{n\to\infty}\int_{Q}\...

Absolute continuity of probabilities on Polish spaces and open sets. [closed]
On a polish space $\mathcal{X}$ i consider two Borel probabilities $P$ and $Q$ such that for any open set $E$ of $\mathcal{X}$ we have : $P(E) =0$ implies $Q(E)=0$. Does this imply that $Q$ is ...

Random variable as an integral of an indicator function
This answer says that if $X$ is a random variable and $X_+ = \mathrm{max}(0, X)$, then $X_+ = \int_0^\infty I_{\{X > x\}}\mathrm{d}x$. I'd like to know how to derive this starting with $A \in \...

Can singular measures be viewed as vanishing distributions? (Answer No!)
Hello,
Here is my original question: let $\mu$ be a singular measure with respect to the Lebesgue's measure on $R$. Is it true that $\int \psi \mu(d x)=0$ for any test function $\psi\in C_c^\infty(R)$...

Measure Theories with a different convention to $\infty\cdot 0 =0$ [closed]
As we all know in a first course in measure theory we define a symbol $\infty$ to satisfy $\infty \cdot 0=0$, but there are more two possible choices for a convention as someone has shown to me; one ...

Why surreal numbers cannot be extended further in this way using measure approach?
Basically, a lebesgue measure of dimension $n$ of a set of the same dimension $n$ is $n$-volume, $\lambda_n(S)$.
If the dimension of a set is greater than the dimension of the measure, the measure is ...
