Linear maps of Euclidean space are Borel, and Lebesgue integrals transform by the determinant under triangular matrices with positive diagonal and under symmetric positive definite matrices; in particular such a matrix multiplies Lebesgue measure by its determinant.

Statement

In the setting of Euclidean Space and Lebesgue Measure: Standing Notation and Real Matrices, Symmetric Matrices and the Semidefinite Ordering: Standing Notation, let dd be a natural number with 1d1\le d, let λd\lambda_{d} be Lebesgue measure on B(Rd)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{d}), and let integrals of Borel functions Rd[0,]\mathbb{R}^{d}\to[0,\infty] with respect to λd\lambda_{d} be those of Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation §integral, products in [0,][0,\infty] being read as in Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation §extended; a map from Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} into Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} or into [0,][0,\infty] is Borel in the sense of Probability Measures on Euclidean Space and Random Vectors: Standing Notation §borel-maps. For a real d×dd\times d matrix TT, the map xTxx\mapsto Tx is given by the matrix-vector product of Real Matrices, Symmetric Matrices and the Semidefinite Ordering: Standing Notation §matrices, and detT\det T is the determinant of TT. A real d×dd\times d matrix TT is lower triangular if Tij=0T_{ij}=0 whenever i<ji<j, and upper triangular if Tij=0T_{ij}=0 whenever j<ij<i; positive definiteness is that of that definition.

1. (Linear maps are Borel) For every real d×dd\times d matrix TT the map xTxx\mapsto Tx from Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} to Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} is continuous and Borel.

2. (Triangular maps) Let TT be a lower triangular or an upper triangular real d×dd\times d matrix with 0<Tii0<T_{ii} for every i[d]i\in[d]. Then 0<detT0<\det T, and for every Borel f:Rd[0,]f:\mathbb{R}^{d}\to[0,\infty]

detTRdf(Tx)dλd(x)=Rdfdλd.\det T\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}f(Tx)\,d\lambda_{d}(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}f\,d\lambda_{d}.

3. (Symmetric positive definite maps) Let AS(d)A\in\mathcal{S}(d) be positive definite. Then 0<detA0<\det A, the map xAxx\mapsto Ax is a bijection of Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} onto Rd\mathbb{R}^{d}, and for every Borel f:Rd[0,]f:\mathbb{R}^{d}\to[0,\infty]

detARdf(Ax)dλd(x)=Rdfdλd.\det A\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}f(Ax)\,d\lambda_{d}(x)=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}f\,d\lambda_{d}.

In particular, for every BB(Rd)B\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) the set A(B)={Ax:xB}A(B)=\{Ax:x\in B\} belongs to B(Rd)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) and λd(A(B))=detAλd(B)\lambda_{d}(A(B))=\det A\,\lambda_{d}(B).
