Cylindrical σ-algebra

In mathematics — specifically, in measure theory and functional analysis — the cylindrical σ-algebra^[1] or product σ-algebra^[2]^[3] is a type of σ-algebra which is often used when studying product measures or probability measures of random variables on Banach spaces.

For a product space, the cylinder σ-algebra is the one that is generated by cylinder sets.

In the context of a Banach space $X,$ the cylindrical σ-algebra $\operatorname {Cyl} (X)$ is defined to be the coarsest σ-algebra (that is, the one with the fewest measurable sets) such that every continuous linear function on $X$ is a measurable function. In general, $\operatorname {Cyl} (X)$ is not the same as the Borel σ-algebra on $X,$ which is the coarsest σ-algebra that contains all open subsets of $X.$
