On the construction of kernels (
Measure theory)
Given two measurable spaces $(E, {\cal E})$ $(F, {\cal F})$ and a family ${\cal N}\subset{\cal E}$ of negligible sets, a pseudo-kernel $T$ is a mapping from bounded measurable functions on $F$ to classes mod.${\cal N}$ of bounded measurable functions on $E$, which has all a.e. the properties (positivity, countable additivity) of a kernel. Regularizing $T$ consists in finding a true kernel $\hat T$ such that $\hat Tf$ belongs to the class $Tf$ for every measurable bounded $f$ on $F$. The regularization is easy whenever $F$ is compact metric. Then the result is extended to the case of a Lusin space, and to the case of a U-space (Radon space) assuming ${\cal N}$ consists of the negligible sets for a family of measures on $E$. An application is given to densities of continuous additive functionals of a Markov process
Comment: The author states that his paper is purely expository. This is not true, though the proof is a standard one in the theory of conditional distributions. For a deeper result, see Dellacherie

Une remarque sur la construction de noyaux (
Measure theory)
With the notation of the preceding report
923, this is a first attempt to solve the case (important in practice) where $F$ is coanalytic, assuming ${\cal N}$ consists of the negligible sets of a Choquet capacity

Sur la construction de noyaux boréliens (
Measure theory)
This answers questions of Getoor
923 and Meyer
924 on the regularization of a pseudo-kernel relative to a family ${\cal N}$ of negligible sets into a Borel kernel. The problem is reduced to a simpler one, whether a non-negligible set $A$ contains a non-negligible Borel set, which itself is answered in the affirmative if 1) The underlying space is compact metric, 2) $A$ is coanalytic, 3) ${\cal N}$ consists of all sets negligible for all measures of an analytic family. The proof uses general methods, of independent interest

Sur l'existence d'un noyau induisant un opérateur sous markovien donné (
Measure theory)
The problem is whether a positive, norm-decreasing operator $L^\infty(\mu)\rightarrow L^\infty(\lambda)$ (of classes, not functions) is induced by a submarkov kernel. No ``countable additivity'' condition is assumed, but completeness of $\lambda$ and tightness of $\mu$
