Extension Theorems in Measure and Integration Theory as Completeness Axioms

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: In measure and integration theory, the themes of extending premeasures to outer measures and extending Daniell linear functionals to Daniell integrals are governed by the foundational extension theorems of Carath\'{e}odory and Daniell. These are proven to be equivalent to Littlewood's Three Principles, which are known to be equivalent alternatives to a completeness axiom for an ordered field. The continuity theorems of measure and integration theory are consequently shown to be included in the list of equivalences.
