Bounded Borel symbols #
Bounded measurable complex functions form a commutative C⋆-algebra under pointwise operations
and the supremum norm. They are realised as the star subalgebra of ℓ^∞(X, ℂ), Mathlib's
lp (fun _ : X ↦ ℂ) ∞, cut out by measurability, so the supremum norm, the normed star algebra
structure and the C⋆-identity are those of ℓ^∞. Uniform limits of measurable functions are
measurable, so this subalgebra is closed and the symbols form a complete space.
Equality is pointwise; no measure or almost-everywhere quotient is involved. On a topological space equipped with its Borel measurable space these are bounded Borel functions. The domain may be empty, in which case every norm vanishes; on a nonempty domain the unit has norm one.
These symbols form the source algebra for bounded Borel functional calculus: constants, measurable simple functions and restrictions to measurable sets are bounded symbols, pullback along a measurable map is a star algebra homomorphism (hence norm-nonincreasing, as is every star homomorphism between C⋆-algebras), and convergence in norm is uniform convergence.
Simple functions embed as a star subalgebra of symbols, and this subalgebra is dense: every symbol
is the uniform limit of simple symbols bounded by its norm (exists_seq_tendsto_ofSimpleFunc).
Since a simple symbol is a finite combination of indicators of disjoint measurable sets, this is
the approximation through which a functional calculus defined on indicators extends by
continuity to all bounded Borel symbols.
On a compact space whose open sets are measurable, continuous complex functions are bounded Borel
symbols (ofContinuousMap). This embedding of C(X, ℂ) is a unital star algebra homomorphism, is
isometric for the two supremum norms, and is compatible with pullback along continuous measurable
maps. It is how a Borel functional calculus is compared with a continuous one, for instance with
a star representation of C(X, ℂ) or with Mathlib's continuous functional calculus cfcHom.
The star subalgebra of ℓ^∞(X, ℂ) consisting of the measurable bounded functions.
Instances For

Uniform limits of measurable functions are measurable, so the bounded Borel symbols form a

A nonnegative constant bounds the supremum norm exactly when it bounds every value.
On an empty domain every symbol has norm zero.
Convergence in the supremum norm is uniform convergence of the values.

Pullback of symbols along a measurable map, as a star algebra homomorphism.
Instances For
Pullback evaluates by composition.
Pullback by the identity is the identity star algebra homomorphism.
Pullback along a composite is composition of the star algebra homomorphisms.
Restriction to a measurable set and extension by zero, as a non-unital star algebra homomorphism. It need not preserve the unit because the unit restricts to the set indicator.
Instances For
Restriction coerces to the usual set indicator function.
Indicator evaluation is the usual set indicator.
The indicator of the empty set vanishes.
The indicator of the whole domain is the original symbol.
Products of indicator symbols correspond to intersections.
Pullback commutes with restriction and extension by zero.
Every measurable complex simple function is an everywhere bounded symbol. This embedding is a star algebra homomorphism for the pointwise operations on simple functions.

A bundled simple function coerces to the simple function itself.
Bundling a simple function preserves its values.
The simple function equal to c on a measurable set s and to zero off s is the symbol
c • indicator s hs 1.
Uniform approximation by simple symbols. Every bounded Borel symbol is the limit, in the supremum norm, of simple symbols whose values are bounded by its norm.
Simple symbols are dense among bounded Borel symbols.
On a compact space whose open sets are measurable, every continuous complex function is a
bounded Borel symbol. This embedding is a unital star algebra homomorphism for the pointwise
operations on C(X, ℂ), and it is isometric for the supremum norms (norm_ofContinuousMap).
Instances For

Regarding continuous functions as symbols is an isometry.
Pulling back a continuous function along a continuous measurable map between compact spaces gives the symbol of the composite continuous function.
