Remarks on Haar measure

The Haar Measure

In this section, we give a brief review of the measure theory which will be used in later sections. We use [R, Chapters 1 and 2] as our main resource. A σ-algebra on a set X is a collectionM of subsets of X such that ∅ ∈M, if S ∈M, then X \ S ∈ M, and if a countable collection S1, S2, . . . ∈ M, then ∪i=1Si ∈ M. That is, M is closed under complements and countable unions, and contains the empty...

Motivic Haar Measure on Reductive Groups

We define a motivic analogue of the Haar measure for groups of the form G(k((t))), where k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and G is a reductive algebraic group defined over k. A classical Haar measure on such groups does not exist since they are not locally compact. We use the theory of motivic integration introduced by M. Kontsevich to define an additive function on a ...

Remarks on a Quality Measure

We show equivalence between maximizing a quality measure intuitively defined to compare (quite specific) consistent network plan interpretations and awell known combinatorical optimization problem.

On the Continuity of Haar Measure on Topological Groupoids

It is shown that continuity of a family of invariant (Haar) measures on a topological groupoid G is equivalent to the continuity of the implied convolution product f * g for all pairs of functions / and g. An example is given of a groupoid which admits no (continuous) Haar measure. It results, therefore, that the usual C*-algebra associated with a Haar measure on G cannot, in general, be constr...
