Densité relative de deux potentiels comparables (
Potential theory)
The main problem considered here is the following: given a transient resolvent $(V_{\lambda})$ on a measurable space, a finite potential $Vg$, an excessive function $u$ dominated by $Vg$ in the strong sense (i.e., $Vg-u$ is excessive), show that $u=Vf$ for some $f\leq g$, and compute $f$ by some ``derivation'' procedure, like $\lim_{\lambda\rightarrow\infty} \lambda(I-\lambda V_{\lambda})\,u$
Comment: The main theorem and the technical tools of its proof have been landmarks in the potential theory of a resolvent, though in the case of the resolvent of a good Markov process there is a simple probabilistic proof of the main result. Another exposition can be found in

Pseudo-quotient de deux mesures par rapport à un cône de potentiels. Application à la dualité (
Potential theory)
The last four pages of this paper have been omitted by mistake, and appear in the following volume as
729. The general results concerning the axiomatically defined cones of potentials (see for instance the author's exposition in
Séminaire Bourbaki, 1969-70,
377) are quickly reviewed first, and then applied to the following problem concerning the potential kernel $V$ of a resolvent: given a pair of measures $\lambda\le\mu$ in the sense of balayage, then we have $\lambda V\le \mu V$ in the ordinary sense. The corresponding density (dominated by $1$) does not depend on the resolvent, but only on the potential cones of excessive functions and potentials associated with it, and a way to compute it is indicated

Relèvement borélien compatible avec une classe d'ensembles négligeables. Application à la désintégration des mesures (
Measure theory)
This is a beautiful application of the continuum ``hypothesis'' (axiom). It is shown that if $(E, {\cal E})$ is a separable measurable space (or more generally ${\cal E}$ has the power of the continuum) and ${\cal N}$ is a family of negligible sets within ${\cal E}$, then the space of classes of bounded measurable functions mod.~${\cal N}$ has a linear, isometric, and multiplicative lifting. The proof is rather simple. Essentially the same theorem was discovered independently by Chatterji, see
Vector and Operator Valued Measures, Academic Press 1973
Comment: The same proof leads to a slightly stronger and useful result (Meyer
2711): if $E$ is a compact metric space and if any two continuous functions equal a.e. are equal everywhere, the lifting can be taken to be the identity on continuous functions, and to be local, i.e., the liftings of two Borel functions equal a.e. in an open set are equal everywhere in this set

Démonstration élémentaire d'un théorème de Novikov (
Descriptive set theory)
Novikov's theorem asserts that any sequence of analytic subsets of a compact metric space with empty intersection can be enclosed in a sequence of Borel sets with empty intersection. This result has important consequences in descriptive set theory (see Dellacherie
915). A fairly simple proof of this theorem is given, which relates it to the first separation theorem (rather than the second separation theorem as it used to be)
Comment: Dellacherie in this volume (
1032) further simplifies the proof. For a presentation in book form, see Dellacherie-Meyer,

Domination d'une mesure par une capacité (
Measure theory)
A bounded measure $\mu$ is said to be dominated by a capacity $C$ (countably subadditive, continuous along increasing sequences; neither strong subadditivity nor decreasing sequences are mentioned) if all sets of capacity $0$ have also measure $0$. The main result then states that the space can be decomposed into a set $A_0$ of capacity $0$, and disjoint sets $A_n$ on each of which $\mu$ is smaller than a multiple of $C$

Ensembles à coupes dénombrables et capacités dominées par une mesure (
Measure theory,
General theory of processes)
Let $X$ be a compact metric space $\mu$ be a bounded measure. Let $F$ be a given Borel set in $X\times
R_+$. For $A\subset X$ define $C(A)$ as the outer measure of the projection on $X$ of $F\cap(A\times
R_+)$. Then it is proved that, if there is some measure $\lambda$ such that $\lambda$-null sets are $C$-null (the relation goes the reverse way from the preceding paper
1236!) then $F$ has ($\mu$-a.s.) countable sections, and if the property is strengthened to an $\epsilon-\delta$ ``absolute continuity'' relation, then $F$ has ($\mu$-a.s.) finite sections
Comment: This was a long-standing conjecture of Dellacherie (
707), suggested by the theory of semi-polar sets. For further development see

Deux propriétés des ensembles minces (abstraits) (
Descriptive set theory)
Given a class ${\cal S}$ of Borel sets understood as ``small'' sets, the class ${\cal L}$ consisting of their conplements understood as ``large'' sets, a set $A$ is said to be ${\cal S}$-thin if does not contain uncountably many disjoint ``large'' sets. For instance, if ${\cal S}$ is the class of polar sets, then thin sets are the same as semi-polar sets. Two general theorems are proved here on thin sets

Sur le barycentre d'une probabilité dans une variété (
Stochastic differential geometry)
In a manifold $V$ (endowed with a connection), convex functions and continuous martingales can be defined, but expectations cannot. This article proposes to define the mass-centre of a probability $\mu$ on $V$ as a whole set of points, consisting of all $x$ in $V$ such that $f(x)\le\mu(f)$ for all bounded, convex $f$ on $V$. If $V$ is small enough, it is shown that this is equivalent to demanding that there exists (on a suitable filtered probability space) a continuous martingale $X$ such that $X_0=x$ and $X_1$ has law $\mu$
Comment: The conjecture (due to Émery) at the bottom of page 232 has been disproved by Kendall (
