Let ( X , 𝔛 , μ ) be a standard probability space. We say that a sub-σ-algebra 𝔅 of 𝔛 decomposes μ in an ergodic way if any regular conditional probability 𝔅 P with respect to 𝔅 andμ satisfies, for μ-almost every x∈X, B 𝔅 , 𝔅 P ( x , B ) { 0 , 1 } . In this case the equality μ ( · ) = X 𝔅 P ( x , · ) μ ( d x ) , gives us an integral decomposition in “ 𝔅 -ergodic” components. For any sub-σ-algebra 𝔅 of 𝔛 , we denote by 𝔅 ¯ the smallest sub-σ-algebra of 𝔛 containing 𝔅 and the collection of all setsAin 𝔛 satisfyingμ(A)=0. We say that 𝔅 isμ-complete if 𝔅 = 𝔅 ¯ . Let { 𝔅 i i I } be a non-empty family of sub-σ-algebras which decompose μ in an ergodic way. Suppose that, for any finite subset J of I, i J 𝔅 i ¯ = i J 𝔅 i ¯ ; this assumption is satisfied in particular when theσ-algebras 𝔅 i ,i∈I, are μ-complete. Then we prove that the sub-σ-algebra i I 𝔅 i decomposesμ in an ergodic way.

We say that a sub-σ-algebra $\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}$ of $\{\mathfrak \{X\}\}$decomposes μ in an ergodic way if any regular conditional probability $\{\}^\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}\!\!P$ with respect to $\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}$ andμ satisfies, for μ-almost every x∈X, $\forall B\in \{\mathfrak \{B\}\},\{\}^\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}\!\!P(x,B)\in \lbrace 0,1\rbrace $. In this case the equality $\mu (\cdot )=\int _\{X\}\{\}^\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}\!\!P(x,\cdot )\mu (\mathrm \{d\}x)$, gives us an integral decomposition in “$\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}$-ergodic” components. For any sub-σ-algebra $\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}$ of $\{\mathfrak \{X\}\}$, we denote by $\overline\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}$ the smallest sub-σ-algebra of $\{\mathfrak \{X\}\}$ containing $\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}$ and the collection of all setsAin $\{\mathfrak \{X\}\}$ satisfyingμ(A)=0. We say that $\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}$ isμ-complete if $\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}=\overline\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}$. Let $\lbrace \{\mathfrak \{B\}\}_\{i\}i\in I\rbrace $ be a non-empty family of sub-σ-algebras which decompose μ in an ergodic way. Suppose that, for any finite subset J of I, $\bigcap _\{i\in J\}\overline\{\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}_\{i\}\}=\overline\{\bigcap _\{i\in J\}\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}_\{i\}\}$; this assumption is satisfied in particular when theσ-algebras $\{\mathfrak \{B\}\}_\{i\}$,i∈I, are μ-complete.

AB - Let $(X,{\mathfrak {X}},\mu )$ be a standard probability space. We say that a sub-σ-algebra ${\mathfrak {B}}$ of ${\mathfrak {X}}$decomposes μ in an ergodic way if any regular conditional probability ${}^{\mathfrak {B}}\!\!P$ with respect to ${\mathfrak {B}}$ andμ satisfies, for μ-almost every x∈X, $\forall B\in {\mathfrak {B}},{}^{\mathfrak {B}}\!\!P(x,B)\in \lbrace 0,1\rbrace $. In this case the equality $\mu (\cdot )=\int _{X}{}^{\mathfrak {B}}\!\!P(x,\cdot )\mu (\mathrm {d}x)$, gives us an integral decomposition in “${\mathfrak {B}}$-ergodic” components. For any sub-σ-algebra ${\mathfrak {B}}$ of ${\mathfrak {X}}$, we denote by $\overline{\mathfrak {B}}$ the smallest sub-σ-algebra of ${\mathfrak {X}}$ containing ${\mathfrak {B}}$ and the collection of all setsAin ${\mathfrak {X}}$ satisfyingμ(A)=0. We say that ${\mathfrak {B}}$ isμ-complete if ${\mathfrak {B}}=\overline{\mathfrak {B}}$. Let $\lbrace {\mathfrak {B}}_{i}i\in I\rbrace $ be a non-empty family of sub-σ-algebras which decompose μ in an ergodic way. Suppose that, for any finite subset J of I, $\bigcap _{i\in J}\overline{{\mathfrak {B}}_{i}}=\overline{\bigcap _{i\in J}{\mathfrak {B}}_{i}}$; this assumption is satisfied in particular when theσ-algebras ${\mathfrak {B}}_{i}$,i∈I, are μ-complete. Then we prove that the sub-σ-algebra $\bigcap _{i\in I}{\mathfrak {B}}_{i}$ decomposesμ in an ergodic way.
