How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Finite products of measures with densities have the product density

Statement

Let μ be any finite measure on (W,BW), where W and its trace Borel sigma-algebra BW are as in Finite-window spatial observations and configurations. Let f:W→[0,∞] be measurable with ∫Wf dμ<∞, and put ν=f dμ. For every integer n≥1, the product measure ν⊗n on BW⊗n has density Fn(x1,…,xn)=∏i=1nf(xi), where products use the extended-product convention 0⋅(+∞)=0. For n=0, both product measures are the unit mass on the one-point empty tuple and the product density is 1.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A finite measure μ, a nonnegative measurable f with finite integral, and its density measure ν=f dμ.

[F1]

The set function A↦∫Af dμ is a measure. (The measure with density f relative to μ)

[F2]

Finite products of sigma-finite measures exist and have the rectangle product formula. (For sigma-finite factors, the product measure exists, has the rectangle formula, is sigma-finite, and is unique)

[F3]

Tonelli's theorem interchanges nonnegative iterated integrals on a sigma-finite product. (Tonelli's theorem for nonnegative measurable functions on a sigma-finite product)

[F4]

Two finite measures agreeing on a generating pi-system that contains the whole space agree on the generated sigma-algebra: the constant sequence equal to the whole space is a common finite-measure exhaustion. (Measures agreeing on a generating pi-system are equal under an increasing finite-measure exhaustion from that pi-system)

[F5]

Finite products of nonnegative measurable functions are measurable. For two such functions u,v, for a≥0, {uv>a}=⋃q∈Q, q>0{u>q}∩{v>a/q}, and for a<0 the superlevel set is the whole space. Iterating this identity proves the finite-product claim, using 0⋅(+∞)=0. (Extended-real-valued measurable functions)

Proof

Given: n≥1, μ(W)<∞, and ∫Wf dμ<∞.

1.1givenF1F3F5construct

Each coordinate projection πi:Wn→W is measurable because inverse images of members of BW are measurable rectangles. Hence each f∘πi is measurable, and [F5] makes Fn=∏i=1nf∘πi measurable. Thus A↦∫AFn dμ⊗n is a measure by the same indefinite-integral construction as [F1]. Its total mass is (∫Wf dμ)n<∞ by repeated Tonelli [F3].

1.2givenF1F2F3algebra

For a measurable rectangle B1×⋯×Bn, repeated use of [F2] gives ν⊗n(B1×⋯×Bn)=∏iν(Bi)=∏i∫Bif dμ. Repeated Tonelli [F3] gives the same value for ∫B1×⋯×BnFn dμ⊗n.

2.1step 1.1step 1.2F2F4∎

Rectangles form a generating pi-system containing the whole space Wn, and the product formula for Wn in step 1.2 shows that the two finite measures have the same finite total mass. Therefore [F4] applies and gives equality on all of BW⊗n. For n=0 the statement is the definition of the empty product measure.
