Analytic measurability of the infimal c-transform #
For Polish source and target spaces, a Borel integrand
(x, y) ↦ (c (x, y) : EReal) - φ x need not have a Borel infimum over x. Its strict sublevel
sets are nevertheless analytic: each is the projection of the corresponding Borel strict
sublevel set of the integrand. Lusin's universal-measurability theorem then makes every such
sublevel measurable in the completion of each s-finite Borel measure. This is the precise
measurability regime used to integrate general Kantorovich potentials without incorrectly claiming
Borel measurability.
The symmetric transform is included with the same hypotheses on the transposed integrand.
Main results #
TauCeti.analyticSet_setOf_cTransform_lt: strict sublevels of the infimal transform are analytic;TauCeti.nullMeasurableSet_setOf_cTransform_lt: those sublevels are measurable after completing any s-finite Borel measure;TauCeti.nullMeasurable_cTransform: the transform itself is null-measurable for each s-finite Borel measure;- the corresponding three results with
cTransformSymmin their names.

If a strict sublevel of the defining integrand of a c-transform is Borel measurable, the
corresponding strict sublevel of the transform is analytic. It is the second-coordinate projection
of that integrand sublevel.
If a strict sublevel of the defining integrand of a symmetric c-transform is Borel
measurable, the corresponding strict sublevel of the transform is analytic.
A strict sublevel of a c-transform is measurable after completing any s-finite Borel measure
on the target when the corresponding integrand sublevel is Borel measurable.
A strict sublevel of a symmetric c-transform is measurable after completing any s-finite Borel
measure on the source when the corresponding integrand sublevel is Borel measurable.
A c-transform with Borel defining integrand is measurable for the completion of every
s-finite Borel measure on the target. This is deliberately NullMeasurable, not Borel
Measurable.
A symmetric c-transform with Borel defining integrand is measurable for the completion of
every s-finite Borel measure on the source.
