Real Analysis HELP: Measurable Functions on Measure Subspace

In summary, the conversation discusses the task of showing the existence of measurable functions that converge almost everywhere but are not measurable. The conversation mentions constructing a measure space in which a subset of a measurable set of measure zero is not measurable, with the suggestion of using the Cantor set and its function as examples. It is noted that such a measure space would not be complete.

Homework Statement



Show that there exists measurable functions f_n defined on some measure subspace, st f_n-> f a.e. but such that f is not measurable.

Homework Equations



Converges a.e. means that converges everywhere except on a set of measure zero.

The Attempt at a Solution


Need to construct a measure space in which some subset of a measurable set of measure zero is not measurable. However, such measure space is not compelte.

I know that I need to construct a measure space in which some subset of a measurable set of measure zero is not measurable. However, such measure space is not complete.
It seems that there is a subset of the Cantor set that is not borel measurable...so, if you choose the Borel measure, then you know it is not complete and that m(Cantor set)=0...
I am not sure how to choose the function though...maybe choose the Cantor function?
 

1. What is the definition of a measurable function on a measure subspace?

A measurable function on a measure subspace is a function that maps a set of measurable sets onto a measure space, such that the pre-images of measurable sets are also measurable sets.

2. What is the difference between a measurable function and a continuous function?

A measurable function is defined in terms of measurable sets and their pre-images, while a continuous function is defined in terms of open sets and their pre-images. Measurable functions are more general than continuous functions, as they do not require the use of topology.

3. How can I determine if a function is measurable on a measure subspace?

A function is measurable on a measure subspace if the pre-image of any measurable set in the codomain is a measurable set in the domain. This can be verified by checking the pre-images of a set of generating measurable sets.

4. Can a non-measurable function exist on a measure subspace?

Yes, a non-measurable function can exist on a measure subspace. This can occur if the measure subspace does not contain enough generating measurable sets to fully characterize the function. However, this is a rare occurrence and most functions on measure subspaces are measurable.

5. What is the importance of measurable functions on measure subspaces?

Measurable functions on measure subspaces are important in the field of real analysis as they allow for the integration of more general functions. They also play a crucial role in the development of the Lebesgue measure and integral, which are widely used in mathematics and physics.
