In Category Theory and Measure Theory, what is a measurable space?

  1. A set equipped with a sigma-algebra of subsets.

  2. A set equipped with a topology.

  3. A set equipped with a metric.

  4. A set equipped with a group structure.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A measurable space is a pair (X, Σ), where X is a set and Σ is a sigma-algebra of subsets of X.

What is a measurable function between two measurable spaces?

  1. A function that preserves the sigma-algebras of the spaces.

  2. A function that preserves the topologies of the spaces.

  3. A function that preserves the metrics of the spaces.

  4. A function that preserves the group structures of the spaces.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A measurable function between two measurable spaces (X, Σ) and (Y, Γ) is a function f: X → Y such that the preimage of every set in Γ is in Σ.

What is the category of measurable spaces and measurable functions?

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The category of measurable spaces and measurable functions is a category whose objects are measurable spaces and whose morphisms are measurable functions.

What is a measure on a measurable space?

  1. A function that assigns a non-negative real number to each set in the sigma-algebra.

  2. A function that assigns a complex number to each set in the sigma-algebra.

  3. A function that assigns a vector to each set in the sigma-algebra.

  4. A function that assigns a matrix to each set in the sigma-algebra.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A measure on a measurable space (X, Σ) is a function μ: Σ → [0, ∞] such that μ(∅) = 0 and μ(∪Ai) = Σμ(Ai) for any disjoint sequence (Ai) of sets in Σ.

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The category of measurable spaces and measures is a category whose objects are measurable spaces equipped with a measure and whose morphisms are measurable functions that preserve the measures.

What is the integral of a measurable function with respect to a measure?

  1. The sum of the values of the function at each point in the measurable space.

  2. The product of the values of the function at each point in the measurable space.

  3. The limit of the sum of the values of the function over a sequence of partitions of the measurable space.

  4. The limit of the product of the values of the function over a sequence of partitions of the measurable space.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The integral of a measurable function f: X → [0, ∞] with respect to a measure μ on a measurable space (X, Σ) is defined as the limit of the sum of the values of f over a sequence of partitions of X whose diameters tend to 0.
