Definition

Let [ilmath](X,\mathcal{A})[/ilmath] be a [ilmath]\sigma[/ilmath]-algebra and let [ilmath]Y\subseteq X[/ilmath] be any subset of [ilmath]X[/ilmath], then we may construct a [ilmath]\sigma[/ilmath]-algebra on [ilmath]Y[/ilmath] called the trace [ilmath]\sigma[/ilmath]-algebra, [ilmath]\mathcal{A}_Y[/ilmath] given by[1]:

  • [ilmath]\mathcal{A}_Y:=\left\{Y\cap A\ \vert A\in\mathcal{A}\right\}[/ilmath]

Claim: [ilmath](Y,\mathcal{A}_Y)[/ilmath] is a [ilmath]\sigma[/ilmath]-algebra

Proof of claims

Claim 1: that [ilmath](Y,\mathcal{A}_Y)[/ilmath] is indeed a [ilmath]\sigma[/ilmath]-algebra
