Haar quotient measure #
In this file, we consider properties of fundamental domains and measures for the action of a
subgroup Γ of a topological group G on G itself. Let μ be a measure on G ⧸ Γ.
Main results #
MeasureTheory.QuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage.smulInvariantMeasure_quotient: IfμsatisfiesQuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimagerelative to a both left- and right-invariant measure onG, then it is aGinvariant measure onG ⧸ Γ.
The next two results assume that Γ is normal, and that G is equipped with a left- and
right-invariant measure.
MeasureTheory.QuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage.mulInvariantMeasure_quotient: IfμsatisfiesQuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage, thenμis a left-invariant measure.MeasureTheory.leftInvariantIsQuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage: Ifμis left-invariant, and the action ofΓonGhas finite covolume, andμsatisfies the right scaling condition, then it satisfiesQuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage. This is a converse toMeasureTheory.QuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage.mulInvariantMeasure_quotient.
The last result assumes that G is locally compact, that Γ is countable and normal, that its
action on G has a fundamental domain, and that μ is a finite measure. We also assume that G
is equipped with a sigma-finite Haar measure.
MeasureTheory.QuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage.haarMeasure_quotient: IfμsatisfiesQuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage, then it is itself Haar. This is a variant ofMeasureTheory.QuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage.mulInvariantMeasure_quotient.
Note that a group G with Haar measure that is both left and right invariant is called
unimodular.

If μ satisfies QuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage relative to a both left- and right-
invariant measure ν on G, then it is a G invariant measure on G ⧸ Γ.
Given a subgroup Γ of a topological group G with measure ν, and a measure 'μ' on the
quotient G ⧸ Γ satisfying QuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage, the restriction
of ν to a fundamental domain is measure-preserving with respect to μ.
If μ on G ⧸ Γ satisfies AddQuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage relative to a both
left- and right-invariant measure on G and Γ is a normal subgroup, then μ is a
left-invariant measure.
If μ on G ⧸ Γ satisfies QuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage relative to a both left- and
right-invariant measure on G and Γ is a normal subgroup, then μ is a left-invariant
measure.
Assume that a measure μ is IsAddLeftInvariant, that the action of Γ on G has a
measurable fundamental domain s with positive finite volume, and that there is a single measurable
set V ⊆ G ⧸ Γ along which the pullback of μ and ν agree (so the scaling is right). Then
μ satisfies AddQuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage. The main tool of the proof is the uniqueness of
left invariant measures, if normalized by a single positive finite-measured set.

If a measure μ on the quotient G ⧸ Γ of an additive group G by a discrete
normal subgroup Γ having fundamental domain, satisfies AddQuotientMeasureEqMeasurePreimage
relative to a standardized choice of Haar measure on G, and assuming μ is finite, then μ is
itself Haar.

TODO: Is it possible to drop the assumption that μ is finite?
