The conditional integral is almost-everywhere strongly measurable on the sample space

Statement

In the finite-measure conditional-distribution setting and notation below, assume Y is μ-a.e. measurable and X is μ-a.e. measurable. If f is almost-everywhere strongly measurable under the joint image measure λ, then C∘X is almost-everywhere strongly measurable under μ.

All objects and hypotheses

• Ω, β and γ are measurable spaces; γ is Standard Borel and nonempty.
• μ is a finite measure on Ω, not necessarily a probability; X:Ω→β and Y:Ω→γ are functions.
• F is a real normed vector space (NormedAddCommGroup and NormedSpace ℝ); no CompleteSpace assumption is added. The integrand f:β×γ→F is as specified below.
• Notation: λ=(ω↦(Xω,Yω))#μ, m=X#μ, q(x)=condDistrib(Y|X;μ)(x), and C(x)=∫f(x,y)dq(x)(y).
• Y is μ-a.e. measurable.
• X is μ-a.e. measurable.
• f is almost-everywhere strongly measurable under λ.

Notation and interpretation

Pushforward law

P is an arbitrary measure unless explicitly declared finite or a probability. The word law here abbreviates a pushforward measure; probability-language interpretations require normalization separately. Mathlib totalizes map to zero when X is not a.e. measurable; unqualified map-congruence and some law-space adapters intentionally retain that generality.

\[(X_\#\mu)(A)=\mu(X^{-1}A)\quad\text{when the measurable pushforward interpretation applies}\]

A.e. and strong measurability

A.e. means outside a μ-null set. AEMeasurable means equality a.e. to a measurable map; AEStronglyMeasurable (abbreviated AESM) means equality a.e. to a strongly measurable function, which is approximable by simple functions.

\[f=g\quad\mu\text{-a.e.}\]

Integrability and Bochner integrals

L¹ in the teaching formulas means Integrable, not a newly defined quotient-space element. ∫ denotes Mathlib's totalized Bochner integral: it is zero for nonintegrable functions, and also for a codomain lacking completeness. Do not infer integrability or a genuine finite expectation from an unqualified integral equality. Real-valued integrals have a complete codomain; missing integrability still matters.

\[f\in L^1(\mu)\quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad f\text{ is a.e. strongly measurable and }\int^{\!-}\|f\|\,d\mu<\infty\]

Conditional integral notation

The selected conditional distribution is a probability kernel, characterized as a conditional law only almost everywhere under the conditioning marginal. No pointwise choice, simultaneous equality on all events from a single-event a.e. theorem, or null-fiber support is asserted. Finite non-probability measures are reconstructed with their original total mass; any version changes on marginal-null inputs must retain a measurable kernel.

\[\lambda=(X,Y)_\#\mu,\quad m=X_\#\mu,\quad q(x)=\operatorname{condDistrib}(Y\mid X;\mu)(x),\quad C(x)=\int f(x,y)\,dq(x)(y)\]

/-- Integrability of a vector-valued conditional integral against
`condDistrib`.

For SALD this is the Mathlib-local handoff needed to turn integrable frozen
drift summands into integrable component conditional fields before the
existing `bar b_{k,s}` regularity wrappers are used.

Scope and omitted-condition boundaries

• The selected conditional distribution is a probability kernel, characterized as a conditional law only almost everywhere under the conditioning marginal. No pointwise choice, simultaneous equality on all events from a single-event a.e. theorem, or null-fiber support is asserted.
• ∫ denotes Mathlib's totalized Bochner integral: it is zero for nonintegrable functions, and also for a codomain lacking completeness. Do not infer integrability or a genuine finite expectation from an unqualified integral equality. Real-valued integrals have a complete codomain; missing integrability still matters.
• No specified SALD component version, path law, or weak PDE is constructed.
