Measures vanishing on a set form a face #

Among the measures in any set C of measures, those giving mass zero to a fixed set t form a face of C: a convex combination with positive weights vanishes on t only when both of its ends do. Mathlib's IsExtreme.extremePoints_eq then reads the extreme points of the face off those of C, which is how extremality among the laws carried by a set (vanishing on its complement) reduces to extremality among all of C. When C is convex so is the face.

Main results #

Among the measures in a set C, those vanishing on t form a face: neither end of a convex combination with positive weights can charge t when the combination does not.

The extreme points of the measures in C vanishing on t are the extreme points of C vanishing on t.

The measures in a convex set vanishing on t form a convex set.
