Haar measure #

In this file we prove the existence of Haar measure for a locally compact Hausdorff topological group.

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.

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 also give a form of uniqueness of Haar measure, for σ-finite measures on second-countable locally compact groups. For more involved statements not assuming second-countability, see the file MeasureTheory.Measure.Haar.Unique.

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).

      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).

          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.

                          Steinhaus theorem: if E has positive measure, then E / E contains a neighborhood of zero. Note that this is not true for general regular Haar measures: in ℝ × ℝ where the first factor has the discrete topology, then E = ℝ × {0} has infinite measure for the regular Haar measure, but E / E does not contain a neighborhood of zero. On the other hand, it is always true for inner regular Haar measures (and in particular for any Haar measure on a second countable group).

                          Steinhaus Theorem In any locally compact group G with an inner regular Haar measure μ, for any measurable set E of positive measure, the set E - E is a neighbourhood of 0.

                          Steinhaus Theorem In any locally compact group G with an inner regular Haar measure μ, for any measurable set E of positive measure, the set E / E is a neighbourhood of 1.

                          In this section, we investigate uniqueness of left-invariant measures without assuming that the measure is finite on compact sets, but assuming σ-finiteness instead. We also rely on second-countability, to ensure that the group operations are measurable: in this case, one can bypass all topological arguments, and conclude using uniqueness of σ-finite left-invariant measures in measurable groups.

                          For more general uniqueness statements without second-countability assumptions, see the file MeasureTheory.Measure.Haar.Unique.

                          Uniqueness of left-invariant measures: In a second-countable locally compact additive group, any σ-finite left-invariant measure is a scalar multiple of the additive Haar measure. This is slightly weaker than assuming that μ is a additive Haar measure (in particular we don't require μ ≠ 0). See also isAddHaarMeasure_eq_smul_of_regular for a statement not assuming second-countability.

                          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.

                          To show that an invariant σ-finite measure is regular it is sufficient to show that it is finite on some compact set with non-empty interior.
