Total variation distance of probaiblity measures

$begingroup$


Let $E$ be a set and $mathcal Esubseteq 2^E$ with $emptysetinmathcal E$. If $mu:mathcal Etomathbb R$ with $mu(emptyset)=0$, then $$operatorname{Var}_mu(B):=supleft{sum_{i=1}^nleft|mu(B_i)right|:ninmathbb Ntext{ and }B_1,ldots,B_ninmathcal Btext{ are disjoint with }biguplus_{i=1}^nB_isubseteq Bright}$$ for $Bsubseteq E$. If $Einmathcal E$, let $$left|muright|:=operatorname{Var}_mu(E).$$




Assume $(E,mathcal E)$ is a measurable space and $mu,nu$ are probability measures on $(E,mathcal E)$. Is it possible to show that $$left|mu-nuright|=sup_{Binmathcal E}left|mu(B)-nu(B)right|tag1$$ or is there a counterexample?




I was able to show the claim assuming that $mu$ and $nu$ are both absolutely continuous with respect to a common reference measure. Is it possible to show $(1)$ in general?

You are off by a factor of 2: $| mu-nu| =2sup_{Binmathcal E}|mu(B)-nu(B)|$. For this it's important that $mu $ and $nu$ are probabilities, so that $mu(E)-nu(E)=0$.

    Maybe I forgot the factor $2$, but how is $mu(E)-mu(E)=1-1=0$ answering my question? Could you provide a proof for the identity? (I didn't downvote your answer.)

    It answers your question in the sense that it points out that you have the wrong formula except in the trivial case when both sides of the = sign are 0. So the answer to your question, put plainly, is NO.

Your claim that the equality holds when the measures are absolutely continuous w.r.t. some measure is wrong. You can check that it fails even in simple cases like $mu (A)=m(Acap (0,1))$, $nu (A)= m(Acap (-1,0))$ where $m$ is Lebesgue measure. [Any two probability measures are absolutely continuous w.r.t some probability measure, e.g. $frac {mu +nu} 2$].



If $mu =delta_a$ and $nu =delta_b$ with $a neq b$ then $|mu-nu|=2$ and $|mu(B)-nu(B)| leq 1$ for all $B$.



[$|mu-nu| geq |(mu-nu)({a})|+|(mu-nu)({b})|=2$].



More generally if $P$ and $Q$ are any two probability measures with $Pperp Q$ the $|P-Q|=2$ and $|P(B)-Q(B)| leq 1$ for all $B$.
What is true in general is RHS $leq$ LHS $leq 2$RHS.
