Product Description

Measure theory is a classical area of mathematics born more than two thousand years ago. Nowadays it continues intensive development and has fruitful connections with most other fields of mathematics as well as important applications in physics. This book gives an exposition of the foundations of modern measure theory and offers three levels of presentation: a standard university graduate course, an advanced study containing some complements to the basic course (the material of this level corresponds to a variety of special courses), and, finally, more specialized topics partly covered by more than 850 exercises. Volume 1 (Chapters 1-5) is devoted to the classical theory of measure and integral. Whereas the first volume presents the ideas that go back mainly to Lebesgue, the second volume (Chapters 6-10) is to a large extent the result of the later development up to the recent years. The central subjects of Volume 2 are: transformations of measures, conditional measures, and weak convergence of measures. These three topics are closely interwoven and form the heart of modern measure theory.The organization of the book does not require systematic reading from beginning to end; in particular, almost all sections in the supplements are independent of each other and are directly linked only to specific sections of the main part.The target readership includes graduate students interested in deeper knowledge of measure theory, instructors of courses in measure and integration theory, and researchers in all fields of mathematics. The book may serve as a source for many advanced courses or as a reference.

I have spent time with both volumes of this two volume work. Bogachev presents everything in the language of measure theory, and thus talks about measurable functions rather than random variables. The language of probability theory is slick like an Apple computer, but it hides some inner workings that stare you in the face when you work using the language of measure theory. A probability votary might assert that one shouldn't think about the objects that do not explicitly appear in probability theory. Bogachev covers both more things than other books I have seen and gives more detailed proofs. Many results that are part of mathematical folklore are proved here, like consequences and equivalent statements of equi-integrability/uniform integrability and the Dunford-Pettis theorem; relations between different types of convergence; and the symmetric difference metric on the quotient of a sigma-algebra by the null sets. Also, the theorems are stated with quite general conditions, for example not assuming that we are working with a probability measure when it is enough to work with a sigma-finite measure and not assuming that a metric space is Polish when it is enough that it be separable. In the second volume there is a good exposition of the Borel sigma-algebra of a topological space. Bogachev defines the product of measure spaces and proves the Kolmogorov consistency theorem, which has an especially tractable form for products of Polish spaces.The first volume also has substantial material on differentiability of functions. It has the best proof of the Denjoy-Young-Saks theorem that I've found in a textbook, that the set of points where an arbitrary function on an interval is differentiable is a Borel set. The Dini derivatives used as tools for this.
