| − | A [[probability space]] is called '''standard''' if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:
| |
| − | * it is [[Measure space#Isomorphism|almost isomorphic]] to the real line with some [[probability distribution]] (in other words, a [[Measure space#Completion|completed]] [[Borel measure|Borel]] [[probability measure]], that is, a [[Lebesgue–Stieltjes integral|Lebesgue–Stieltjes]] probability measure);
| |
| − | * it is a [[standard Borel space]] endowed with a [[probability measure]], completed, and possibly augmented with a [[Measure space#null|null set]];
| |
| − | * it is [[Measure space#Completion|complete]], [[Measure space#Perfect and standard|perfect]], and the [[Hilbert space#L2 space|corresponding Hilbert space]] is separable.

| − | Every standard probability space consists of an [[Measure space#Atoms and continuity|atomic]] (discrete) part and an atomless (continuous) part (each part may be empty). The discrete part is finite or countable; here, all subsets are measurable, and the probability of each subset is the sum of probabilities of its elements.
| + | ------------------------------------------- |
| | | | |
| − | '''Theorem 1.''' All atomless standard probability spaces are mutually almost isomorphic.
| |
| | | | |
| − | That is, up to almost isomorphism we have "the" atomless standard probability space. Its "incarnations" include the spaces $\R^n$ with atomless probability distributions (be they [[Continuous distribution|absolutely continuous]] or [[Singular distribution|singular]]), as well as the set of all continuous functions $[0,\infty)\to\R$ with the [[Wiener measure]]. That is instructive: topological notions such as dimension, connectedness, compactness etc. do not apply to probability spaces.

| − | The inverse to a bijective [[Measure space#measure preserving|measure preserving]] map is measure preserving provided that it is measurable; in this (not general) case the given map is a [[Measure space#Isomorphism|strict isomorphism]]. Here is an important fact in two equivalent forms.
| + | |} |
| − | | |
| − | '''Theorem 2a.''' Every bijective measure preserving map between standard probability spaces is a strict isomorphism.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Theorem 2b.''' If $(\Om,\F,P)$ is a standard probability space and $\F_1\subset\F$ a sub-σ-field such that $(\Om,\F_1,P|_{\F_1})$ is also standard then $\F_1=\F$.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Recall a topological fact similar to Theorem 2: if a bijective map between compact Hausdorff topological spaces is continuous then it is a homeomorphism. Moreover, if a Hausdorff topology is weaker than a compact topology then these two topologies are equal, which has the following probability-space counterpart stronger than Theorem 2 (in two equivalent forms).
| |
| − | Here we call a probability space ''countably separated'' if its underlying measurable space is [[Measurable space#separated|countably separated]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Theorem 3a.''' Every bijective measure preserving map from a standard probability space to a countably separated complete probability space is a strict isomorphism.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Theorem 3b.''' If $(\Om,\F,P)$ is a standard probability space and $\F_1\subset\F$ is a countably separated sub-σ-field then $(\Om,\F,P)$ is the completion of $(\Om,\F_1,P|_{\F_1})$.
| |
| | | | |
| − | A continuous image of a compact topological space is always a compact set, which also has a probability-space counterpart.
| |
| | | | |
| − | '''Theorem 4.''' Let $(\Om,\F,P)$ be a standard probability space, $(\Om_1,\F_1,P_1)$ a countably separated complete probability space, and $f:\Om\to\Om_1$ a measure preserving map. Then $(\Om_1,\F_1,P_1)$ is also standard, and $A_1\in\A_1\iff A\in\A$ whenever $A_1\subset\Om_1$ and $A=f^{-1}(A_1)$. In particular, the image $f(\Om)$belongs to $\F_1$. (See {{Cite|R|Th. 3-2}} and {{Cite|H|Prop. 9}}.)

A probability space $(\Om,\F,P)$ is ''standard'' if it is [[Measure space#complete|complete]] and there exist a subset $\Om_1\subset\Om$ and a σ-field (in other words, σ-algebra) $\B$ on $\Om_1$ such that $(\Om_1,\B)$ is a standard Borel space and every set of $\F$ is [[Measure space#almost|almost equal]] to a set of $\B$.

A probability space $(\Om,\F,P)$ is ''standard'' if it is complete, [[Measure space#perfect|perfect]] and countably separated mod 0 in the following sense: some subset of full measure, treated as a [[Measurable space#subspace|subspace]] of the measurable space $(\Om,\F)$, is a [[Measurable space#separated|countably separated]] measurable space.
