Set-valued functions, Lebesgue extensions and saturated probability spaces. (English) Zbl 1267.28016
Summary: Recent advances in the theory of distributions of set-valued functions have been shaped by counterexamples which hinge on the non-existence of measurable selections with requisite properties. These examples, all based on the Lebesgue interval, and initially circumvented by Sun in the context of Loeb spaces, have now led Keisler and Sun (KS) to establish a comprehensive theory of the distributions of set-valued functions on saturated probability spaces (introduced by Hoover and Keisler). In contrast, we show that a countably-generated extension of the Lebesgue interval suffices for an explicit resolution of these examples; and furthermore, that it does not contradict the KS necessity results. We draw the fuller implications of our theorems for integration of set-valued functions, for Lyapunov’s result on the range of vector measures and for the theory of large non-anonymous games.
