Linear Change of Variables for Lebesgue Measure on ℝⁿ

For an invertible matrix A and a vector b, the affine map T(x)=Ax+b multiplies Lebesgue measure on ℝⁿ by |det A|, its image measure is |det A|⁻¹λₙ, and integrals of nonnegative and of integrable functions transform accordingly.

Statement

In the setting of Product Measures, Lebesgue Measure on ℝⁿ and Image Measures: Notation, assume the axiom of dependent choice. Let n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, let A∈Mn(R)A\in\mathcal{M}_{n}(\mathbb{R}) be invertible, let b∈Rnb\in\mathbb{R}^{n}, and let T:Rn→RnT:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R}^{n} be the function

T(x)=Ax+b.T(x)=Ax+b .

Images of Borel sets. For every B∈B(Rn)B\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), T[B]∈B(Rn)T[B]\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) and

λn(T[B])=∣det⁡A∣ λn(B).\lambda_{n}(T[B])=|\det A|\,\lambda_{n}(B).

The image measure. TT is B(Rn)/B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n})/\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n})-measurable, and its image measure is

(λn∘T−1)(B)=∣det⁡A∣−1λn(B)(B∈B(Rn)).(\lambda_{n}\circ T^{-1})(B)=|\det A|^{-1}\lambda_{n}(B)\qquad(B\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n})).

Nonnegative functions. For every f∈M+(Rn,B(Rn))f\in\mathcal{M}^{+}(\mathbb{R}^{n},\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n})), f∘T∈M+(Rn,B(Rn))f\circ T\in\mathcal{M}^{+}(\mathbb{R}^{n},\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{n})) and

∫f∘T dλn=∣det⁡A∣−1∫f dλn.\int f\circ T\,d\lambda_{n}=|\det A|^{-1}\int f\,d\lambda_{n}.

Integrable functions. Let f:Rn→Rf:\mathbb{R}^{n}\to\mathbb{R} be measurable. Then f∘Tf\circ T is measurable, f∘T∈L1(λn)f\circ T\in\mathcal{L}^{1}(\lambda_{n}) if and only if f∈L1(λn)f\in\mathcal{L}^{1}(\lambda_{n}), and in that case

∫f∘T dλn=∣det⁡A∣−1∫f dλn.\int f\circ T\,d\lambda_{n}=|\det A|^{-1}\int f\,d\lambda_{n}.
