Topic: Stieltjes vector measures #34055


Sébastien Gouëzel (Jan 26 2026 at 08:13):

In #PNT, integration by parts wrt bounded variation functions is a stumbling block. So, as a first step, I had a go at defining the vector measure associated to a bounded variation function. As always, this was more complicated than expected (because all our beautiful theorems to construct measures rely crucially on the order, and therefore don't apply to construct vector measures in a general vector space -- one could take shortcuts for signed measures, but I went for the general version instead). Done in #34055, but with +2160/-146 so it will take some time to get this into Mathlib. I split the first few prerequisites, which are all essentially trivial but I'm mentioning here for the record:

That's a long one, unfortunately. Everything in the PR is on the same topic, which is why I have kept it as a single PR. I can split it into two parts if it's too long, though, just tell me!

Sébastien Gouëzel (Jan 31 2026 at 17:47):

#34654 (+292/-0): extend an additive content to a vector measure under a domination condition

Sébastien Gouëzel (Jan 31 2026 at 19:23):

In fact I think I can improve the statement of this one, so don't review yet please.

Sébastien Gouëzel (Feb 01 2026 at 13:18):

#34680 (+45/-0): measurable union of a family of measurable sets

Sébastien Gouëzel (Feb 02 2026 at 09:37):

#34654 (+320/-0): extend an additive content to a vector measure under a domination condition
is now ready, with an improved statement compared to the previous version (an assumption has been dropped).

Sébastien Gouëzel (Feb 23 2026 at 21:47):

Thanks to the heroic efforts of the reviewers, we are almost there: there is a single PR left giving the main construction
#34055 (+272/-0): vector measures associated to functions of bounded variation
