About unions of $sigma$-algebra being sigma algebras












1












$begingroup$


Let $Omega$ be a set and $mathcal{A}$ and $mathcal{B}$ be two sigma-algebras on $Omega$. Put $$mathcal{F}={Acap B:Ainmathcal{A};text{and};Binmathcal{B}}.$$



I have two question which seem intuitively true, but I am unable to prove them, since I am not a mathematician, but an engineer with an interest in probability theory:




  1. Is it true that the sigma-algebra generated by $mathcal{F}$ equals the sigma-algebra generated by $mathcal{Acup B}$, i.e. do we have $$sigma(mathcal{F})=sigma(mathcal{A}cupmathcal{B})?$$

  2. Does $mathcal{F}$ satisfy the property $$F,Ginmathcal{F}implies Fcap Ginmathcal{F}?$$

          1. $mathcal F$ certainly contains $mathcal A$ and $mathcal B$, hence $sigma(mathcal F)supset sigma(mathcal Acupmathcal B)$. If $Fin mathcal F$, then $F=Acap B$ for some $Ainmathcal A$ and $Binmathcal B$. Sets of this form belong to the $sigma$-algebra generated by $mathcal Acupmathcal B$, as finite intersection of elements of $mathcal Acupmathcal B$.


          2. Yes, since $mathcal A$ and $mathcal B$ are stable under finite intersections: write $F=Acap B$, $G=A'cap B'$, with $A,A'inmathcal A$ and $B,B'inmathcal B$. Then $Fcap G=underbrace{Acap A'}_{inmathcal A}cap underbrace{Bcap B'}_{inmathcal B}$.
