On the representation of measures over bounded lattices

Abstract

In this paper we investigate measures over bounded lattices, extending and giving a unifying treatment to previous works. In particular, we prove that the measures of an arbitrary bounded lattice can be represented as measures over a suitably chosen Boolean lattice. Using techniques from algebraic geometry, we also prove that given a bounded lattice X there exists a scheme X such that a measure over X is the same as a (scheme-theoretic) measure over X. We also define the measurability of a lattice, and describe measures over finite lattices.
