Unique finite measure on $sigma(mathfrak{A})$ (an algebra of sets)












1












$begingroup$


I have a statement of a Theorem (possibly some formulation of the Hahn-Kolmogarov theorem?) in my notes as follows:




Let $mathfrak{A}$ be an algebra of subsets of $X$ and let $mu_1,
mu_2$
be finite measures on $sigma(mathfrak{A})$. If $mu_1(A) =
mu_2(A)$
for all $A in mathfrak{A}$, then $mu_1 = mu_2$.




The sketch of the proof I have is this:




Define $mathfrak{M} = {A in sigma(mathfrak{A}) : mu_1(A) =
mu_2(A)}$
. Then $mathfrak{M}$ is a monotone collection containing
$mathfrak{A}$. Let $m(mathfrak{A})$ denote the the monotone
collection generated by $mathfrak{A}$. Then $mathfrak{M} supseteq
m(mathfrak{A}) = sigma(mathfrak{A})$
.




I’m following all of this.



However, then my notes say:




The result follows from the fact that $mathfrak{M} = sigma(mathfrak{A})$.




I don’t see how that gives the result we need. I would appreciate any clarity on this!
