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 1030. For a presentation in book form, see Dellacherie-Meyer, Probabilités et Potentiel C, chapter XI 41

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
Comment: For a presentation in book form, see Dellacherie-Meyer, Probabilités et Potentiel C, chapter XI 41. The hypothesis that the space is compact is sometimes troublesome for the applications

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 $\mu$
