Lemma 22.5.4.label Let $(X, \cm, \mu)$ be a finite measure space, $\ce \subset \cm$, and $\mathcal{S}$ be the set of all essential upper bounds of $\ce$, then:

  1. (1)

    $\mathcal{S}\ne \emptyset$.

  2. (2)

    For any $S \in \cm$, $S \in \mathcal{S}$ if and only if $\mu(S \cap E) = \mu(E)$ for all $E \in \ce$.

  3. (3)

    For any $\seq{S_n}\subset \mathcal{S}$, $\bigcap_{n \in \natp}S_{n} \in \mathcal{S}$.

  4. (4)

    There exists $S \in \mathcal{S}$ such that $\mu(S) = \inf\bracs{\mu(T)|T \in \mathcal{S}}$.

  5. (5)

    For any $S \in \mathcal{S}$ with $\mu(S) = \inf\bracs{\mu(T)|T \in \mathcal{S}}$, $S$ is an essential supremum of $\ce$.

Proof. (1): $X \in \mathcal{S}$.

(2): Since $\mu$ is finite, for any $E \in \ce$, $\mu(S \cap E) = \mu(E)$ if and only if $\mu(E \setminus S) = 0$.

(3): Firstly, for any $S, T \in \mathcal{S}$ and $E \in \ce$,

\[\mu(E \setminus (S \cap T)) \le \mu(E \setminus S) + \mu(E \setminus T) = 0\]

so $S \cap T \in \mathcal{S}$. Now let $\seq{S_n}\subset X$ and $E \in \ce$, then since $\mu$ is finite,

\[\mu(E) = \limv{N}\mu\paren{E \cap \bigcap_{n = 1}^N S_n}= \mu\paren{E \cap \bigcap_{n \in \natp}S_n}\]

by continuity from above. By (2), $\bigcap_{n \in \natp}S_{n} \in \mathcal{S}$.

(4): Let $M = \inf\bracs{\mu(T)|T \in \mathcal{S}}$ and $\seq{S_n}\subset \mathcal{S}$ such that $\limv{n}\mu(S_{n}) = M$, then by continuity from above,

\[M \le \mu\paren{\bigcap_{n \in \natp}S_n}\le \limv{n}\mu(S_{n}) = M\]

By (3), $\bigcap_{n \in \natp}S_{n} \in \mathcal{S}$, therefore the minimum is achieved.

(5): Let $R \in \mathcal{S}$. By (3), $S \cap R \in \mathcal{S}$ with $\mu(S \cap R) = \inf\bracs{\mu(T)|T \in \mathcal{S}}= \mu(S)$, so

\[\mu(S \setminus R) = \mu(S \setminus (S \cap R)) = \mu(S) - \mu(S \cap R) = 0\]

and $S$ is the essential supremum of $\ce$.$\square$
