Haar measure #

In this file we prove the existence and uniqueness (up to scalar multiples) of Haar measure for a locally compact Hausdorff topological group.

For the construction, we follow the write-up by Jonathan Gleason, Existence and Uniqueness of Haar Measure. This is essentially the same argument as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haar_measure#A_construction_using_compact_subsets.

We construct the Haar measure first on compact sets. For this we define (K : U) as the (smallest) number of left-translates of U that are needed to cover K (index in the formalization). Then we define a function h on compact sets as lim_U (K : U) / (K₀ : U), where U becomes a smaller and smaller open neighborhood of 1, and K₀ is a fixed compact set with nonempty interior. This function is chaar in the formalization, and we define the limit formally using Tychonoff's theorem.

This function h forms a content, which we can extend to an outer measure and then a measure (haarMeasure). We normalize the Haar measure so that the measure of K₀ is 1. We show that for second countable spaces any left invariant Borel measure is a scalar multiple of the Haar measure.

Note that μ need not coincide with h on compact sets, according to [halmos1950measure, ch. X, §53 p.233]. However, we know that h(K) lies between μ(Kᵒ) and μ(K), where denotes the interior.

We put the internal functions in the construction of the Haar measure in a namespace, so that the chosen names don't clash with other declarations. We first define a couple of the functions before proving the properties (that require that G is a topological group).

    The index or Haar covering number or ratio of K w.r.t. V, denoted (K : V): it is the smallest number of (left) translates of V that is necessary to cover K. It is defined to be 0 if no finite number of translates cover K.

        prehaar K₀ U K is a weighted version of the index, defined as (K : U)/(K₀ : U). In the applications K₀ is compact with non-empty interior, U is open containing 1, and K is any compact set. The argument K is a (bundled) compact set, so that we can consider prehaar K₀ U as an element of haarProduct (below).

        Instances For

          haarProduct K₀ is the product of intervals [0, (K : K₀)], for all compact sets K. For all U, we can show that prehaar K₀ U ∈ haarProduct K₀.

          Instances For

            The closure of the collection of elements of the form prehaar K₀ U, for U open neighbourhoods of 1, contained in V. The closure is taken in the space compacts G → ℝ, with the topology of pointwise convergence. We show that the intersection of all these sets is nonempty, and the Haar measure on compact sets is defined to be an element in the closure of this intersection.

              This is the "limit" of prehaar K₀ U K as U becomes a smaller and smaller open neighborhood of (1 : G). More precisely, it is defined to be an arbitrary element in the intersection of all the sets clPrehaar K₀ V in haarProduct K₀. This is roughly equal to the Haar measure on compact sets, but it can differ slightly. We do know that haarMeasure K₀ (interior K) ≤ chaar K₀ K ≤ haarMeasure K₀ K.

                          The additive Haar measure is unique up to scaling. More precisely: every σ-finite left invariant measure is a scalar multiple of the additive Haar measure. This is slightly weaker than assuming that μ is an additive Haar measure (in particular we don't require μ ≠ 0).

                          Let μ be a σ-finite left invariant measure on G. Then μ is equal to the Haar measure defined by K₀ iff μ K₀ = 1.
