Some Properties of The Finitely Additive Vector Integral
Gianluca Cassese
TL;DR
This paper develops a broad framework for representing finitely additive vector integrals (Bochner and Pettis) via representations (\tilde{m},\tilde{f}) relative to families of transformations, leveraging uniform structures, Stone/Čech techniques, and Radon–Nikodým-type properties. It establishes general existence results, specialized representations on Countable sets like \mathbb{N}, and conditions under which countably additive representations arise, particularly when the target space has the Radon–Nikodým property or when Pettis integrability holds. It also introduces an abstract standard representation with a triple (\chi,\lambda,\tilde{f}) and a standard vector measure, and explores the Pettis integrability property, including a decomposition into representable and non-representable parts. Finally, the work extends Choquet representation results to noncompact, nonconvex settings, showing how vector-valued integration interacts with dentability and PIP. Overall, the paper clarifies when and how finitely additive vector integrals admit rich, countably additive representations and Choquet-type decompositions, with implications for convergence of vector-valued martingales and Choquet-type theorems.
Abstract
We prove some results concerning the finitely additive, vector integral of Bochner and Pettis and their representation over a countably additive probability space. Applications to convergence of vector valued martingales and to the non compact Choquet theorem are provided.
