Let $X$ be a locally convex topological linear space, and $\mathbb P$ be a probability measure on $X$. Denote the mean vector $m \in X$ and covariance operator $k : X^* \to X$. Let $\tau_u : X \to X$ …

Let $X$ be a locally convex topological linear space, and let $\mathbb P$ be a probability measure on $X$. Suppose that $\operatorname{var}(\varphi) < \infty$ for all continuous linear functionals $\v …

I've read that toposes are extremely important in modern mathematics, but I find the definitions and examples given on the nLab page a little too abstract to understand. Can you provide some examples …

Let $(X,\mathcal X,\mu)$ be a fixed measure space, and suppose that $\mu$ is stationary and ergodic with respect to the (left) action of a topological group $G$. Stationarity means that $\mu = g_* \mu …

Consider the measurable space $2^{\mathbb R}$, equipped with the tensor-product $\sigma$-algebra. Famously, this space has a measurable structure which is not generated by a topology (see this answer) …

Much of the literature on measure theory in linear spaces focuses on the case of normed linear spaces (e.g., the outstanding book by Vakhania, or its sequel). However, nuclear linear spaces "as far fr …

Let $\Theta$ and $X$ be two (Hausdorff) topological spaces. Let $\mathbb P : \Theta \to \Delta(X)$ be a "statistical model", i.e., a continuous function from parameter space $\Theta$ to the space of p …

Let $X$ and $Y$ be Hausdorff topological spaces, and let $f : X \to Y$ be a Borel-measurable function. Suppose that $D \subseteq X$ is dense, that the image $f(D) \subseteq Y$ is dense, and that $f$ i …

In Appendix B of his Uniform Central Limit Theorems (1999), Dudley writes: It is consistent with the usual axioms of set theory (including the axiom f choice) that there are no measurable cardinals, …

A measurable space $(X,\mathcal X)$ consists of a set $X$ equipped with a $\sigma$-algebra of subsets $\mathcal X$. I would like to write computer programs involving measurable spaces, but to the best …

Let $X$ be a topological space, equipped with its Borel $\sigma$-algebra $\mathcal B(X)$, and let $\mathbb P$ be a Radon probability measure on $(X, \mathcal B(X))$. Recall that the support of the mea …

Let $Q$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space, and let $V$ be a topological vector space. Consider the space $X = C_0(Q, V)$ of $V$-valued fields which vanish at infinity. Let $X^*$ denote the dual spa …

Let $X$ be a topological affine space. A Gaussian measure on $X$ is characterized by the property that its finite-dimensional projections are multivariate Gaussian distributions. Is there a direct ch …

Every topological space is measurable, since we may canonically equip a topological space with its Borel $\sigma$-algebra. A bornological space is like a topological space, except the structure descri …

Let $T$ be a commutative monoid, written additively. The set $T$ is equipped with a canonical pre-order, defined by $s \le t$ when there exists $s' \in T$ so that $s + s' = t$. Consequently, $T$ may b …
