Riesz–Markov–Kakutani representation theorem #
This file will prove the Riesz-Markov-Kakutani representation theorem on a locally compact
T2 space X
. As a special case, the statements about linear functionals on bounded continuous
functions follows.
To make use of the existing API, the measure is constructed from a content λ
on the
compact subsets of a locally compact space X, rather than the usual construction of open sets in the
literature.

Construction of the content: #
Given a positive linear functional Λ
on continuous compactly supported functions on X
with values in ℝ≥0
, for K ⊆ X
compact define λ(K) = inf {Λf | 1≤f on K}
.
When X
is a locally compact T2 space, this will be shown to be a
content, and will be shown to agree with the Riesz measure on the compact subsets K ⊆ X
.

Instances For
For any compact subset K ⊆ X
, there exist some compactly supported continuous nonnegative
functions f
on X
such that f ≥ 1
on K
.
Riesz content λ
(associated with a positive linear functional Λ
) is
monotone: if K₁ ⊆ K₂
are compact subsets in X
, then λ(K₁) ≤ λ(K₂)
.
Any compactly supported continuous nonnegative f
such that f ≥ 1
on K
gives an upper bound
on the content of K
; namely λ(K) ≤ Λ f
.
The Riesz content can be approximated arbitrarily well by evaluating the positive linear
functional on test functions: for any ε > 0
, there exists a compactly supported continuous
nonnegative function f
on X
such that f ≥ 1
on K
and such that λ(K) ≤ Λ f < λ(K) + ε
.
The Riesz content λ
associated to a given positive linear functional Λ
is
finitely subadditive: λ(K₁ ∪ K₂) ≤ λ(K₁) + λ(K₂)
for any compact subsets K₁, K₂ ⊆ X
.
