Hyperfinite Dimensional Representations of Spaces and Algebras of Measures

Let X be a locally compact topological space and (X, E, X_ω) be any triple consisting of a hyperfinite set X in a sufficiently saturated nonstandard universe, a monadic equivalence relation E on X, and an E-closed galactic set X_ω ⊆ X, such that all internal subsets of X_ω are relatively compact in the induced topology and X is homeomorphic to the quotient X_ω/E. We will show that each regular complex Borel measure on X can be obtained by pushing down the Loeb measure induced by some internal function . The construction gives rise to an isometric isomorphism of the Banach space M(X) of all regular complex Borel measures on X, normed by total variation, and the quotient , for certain external subspaces of the hyperfinite dimensional Banach space , with the norm ‖f‖₁ = ∑_{x ∈ X} |f(x)|. If additionally X = G is a hyperfinite group, X_ω = G_ω is a galactic subgroup of G, E is the equivalence corresponding to a normal monadic subgroup G₀ of G_ω, and G is isomorphic to the locally compact group G_ω/G₀, then the above Banach space isomorphism preserves the convolution, as well, i.e., M(G) and are isometrically isomorphic as Banach algebras.
