Abstract: Let varphi be a locally upper bounded Borel measurable function on a Greenian open set Omega in Rd and, for every xinOmega, let vvarphi(x) denote the infimum of the integrals of varphi with respect to Jensen measures for x on Omega. Twenty years ago, B.J. Cole and T.J. Ransford proved that vvarphi is the supremum of all subharmonic minorants of varphi on X and that the sets vvarphi<t, tinR, are analytic. In this paper, a different method leading to the inf-sup-result establishes at the same time that, in fact, vvarphi is the minimum of varphi and a subharmonic function, and hence Borel measurable. This is presented in the generality of harmonic spaces, where semipolar sets are polar, and the key are measurability results for reduced functions on balayage spaces which are of independent interest.
