In mathematics, a G-measure is a measure that can be represented as the weak-∗ limit of a sequence of measurable functions . A classic example is the Riesz product

where . The weak-∗ limit of this product is a measure on the circle , in the sense that for :

where represents Haar measure.

History

edit

It was Keane[1] who first showed that Riesz products can be regarded as strong mixing invariant measure under the shift operator  . These were later generalized by Brown and Dooley [2] to Riesz products of the form

 

where  .
