Threshold Choquet representation in L-infinity
ID: threshold-choquet-representation-in-l-infinity
Work with the real Lp space for Lebesgue measure, so its predual is separable. Choose a measurable representative of a unit-ball element with and putFor every , has modulus one almost everywhere, so it is an extreme point of the real closed unit ball. The map is Borel for the weak-star topology: pairing with any is measurable, and separability makes the weak-star unit ball metrizable. Push forward uniform probability measure on through this map.
For almost every ,Fubini's theorem then gives for every . Thus the resulting Borel probability measure is concentrated on the extreme points and has barycenter .
For , the profiles are the threshold steps . Averaging these sign-valued extreme points produces the linear profile. This is an explicit Choquet theorem representation in a setting where the required metrizability is actually available.
