Reason: New lemma. Translation and reflection invariance of Lebesgue measure on Euclidean space, on sets and in integrals, including the substitution used by convolution.

Statement

Let n1n\ge1 be a natural number and let λn\lambda_n be Lebesgue measure on the Borel σ\sigma-algebra B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n). Sums and negatives are those of the real vector space Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and for aRna\in\mathbb{R}^n and BRnB\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n we write

B+a={x+a:xB},aB={ax:xB}.B+a=\{x+a:x\in B\},\qquad a-B=\{a-x:x\in B\}.

Measurability and integrals of [0,][0,\infty]-valued functions are those of Lebesgue Integral of a Nonnegative Measurable Function, and integrable means integrable. Fix aRna\in\mathbb{R}^n.

1. (Sets) For every BB(Rn)B\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n) the sets B+aB+a and aBa-B are Borel, and

λn(B+a)=λn(aB)=λn(B).\lambda_n(B+a)=\lambda_n(a-B)=\lambda_n(B).

2. (Nonnegative integrals) For every measurable f:Rn[0,]f:\mathbb{R}^n\to[0,\infty] the maps xf(x+a)x\mapsto f(x+a) and xf(ax)x\mapsto f(a-x) are measurable and

Rnf(x+a)dλn(x)=Rnf(ax)dλn(x)=Rnfdλnin [0,].\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}f(x+a)\,d\lambda_n(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}f(a-x)\,d\lambda_n(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}f\,d\lambda_n\qquad\text{in }[0,\infty].

3. (Integrable functions) Let f:RnRf:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R} be measurable with respect to B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n) and the Borel σ\sigma-algebra of the real line. Then ff is integrable with respect to λn\lambda_n if and only if xf(x+a)x\mapsto f(x+a) is, if and only if xf(ax)x\mapsto f(a-x) is, and in that case the two displayed identities of claim 2 hold in R\mathbb{R}.
