In measure theory, a radonifying function (ultimately named after Johann Radon) between measurable spaces is one that takes a cylinder set measure (CSM) on the first space to a true measure on the second space. It acquired its name because the pushforward measure on the second space was historically thought of as a Radon measure.

Definition

Given two separable Banach spaces E and G , a CSM { μ T | T A ( E ) } on E and a continuous linear map θ L i n ( E ; G ) , we say that θ is radonifying if the push forward CSM (see below) { ( θ ( μ ) ) S | S A ( G ) } on G "is" a measure, i.e. there is a measure ν on G such that

for each S A ( G ) , where S ( ν ) is the usual push forward of the measure ν by the linear map S : G F S .

Push forward of a CSM

Because the definition of a CSM on G requires that the maps in A ( G ) be surjective, the definition of the push forward for a CSM requires careful attention. The CSM

is defined by

if the composition S θ : E F S is surjective. If S θ is not surjective, let F ~ be the image of S θ , let i : F ~ F S be the inclusion map, and define

where Σ : E F ~ (so Σ A ( E ) ) is such that i Σ = S θ .
