Continuous Integral Versions of L2 Primitives

Abstract

A continuous L2 derivative yields a measurable primitive with continuous paths on its original finite measure space.

Let Omega be any measurable space and P a finite measure. Let f and u map the whole real line to real L2(P), with u continuous. Let g(t,z) be jointly measurable and, for every fixed t, equal P-almost everywhere to the chosen representative u(t)(z). Assume, for every real t, f(t)=f(0)+the Bochner integral of u from 0 to t.

Define X(t,z)=f(0)(z)+the oriented integral of g(s,z) from 0 to t. Then X is jointly measurable, its paths on the whole real line are continuous on one common P-almost-everywhere set, and at every fixed t it equals f(t)(z) P-almost everywhere. Equality to arbitrary chosen representatives is only asserted at each fixed time, not simultaneously at all times.

Continuity of u and finiteness of P imply integrability of g on every compact time interval times Omega. Testing against indicator functions in L2 and using Fubini identifies the representative of each Bochner integral. A countable exhaustion by bounded intervals gives one set of locally integrable sample functions, hence continuous primitives. Neither compact product integrability nor separate Bochner integrability is an additional hypothesis.
