Abstract: Given a monotone convex function on the space of essentially bounded random variables with the Lebesgue property (order continuity), we consider its extension preserving the Lebesgue property to as big solid vector space of random variables as possible. We show that there exists a maximum such extension, with explicit construction, where the maximum domain of extension is obtained as a (possibly proper) subspace of a natural Orlicz-type space, characterized by a certain uniform integrability property. As an application, we provide a characterization of the Lebesgue property of monotone convex function on arbitrary solid spaces of random variables in terms of uniform integrability and a "nice" dual representation of the function.


The author considers a monotone convex function on the space of essentially bounded, order continuous, random variables, and proves the existence of a maximum, order continuous, extension, to a larger solid vector space of random variables, specifically a uniformly integrable subspace of an Orlicz-type space. Certain references on the subject have been left aside, such as the reviewer's paper [J. Math. Econ. 42, No. 6, 794--806 (2006; Zbl 1142.91045)].
