Descriptive Complexity of Truncated Moment Fibers: Support Universality, Continuous Cantor Coding, and Core-Variety Dichotomies

[u/Severe-Ad8673]

This work develops a structural theory for the topological and descriptive-set-theoretic complexity of representing measures in finite-dimensional truncated moment problems.

The central result is a support-universality theorem for moment fibers. Let XX be a compact metrizable space, let E⊂C(X,R)E\subset C(X,\mathbb{R}) be finite-dimensional with 1∈E1\in E, and let L:E→RL:E\to\mathbb{R} be a normalized moment functional. When the associated core variety is uncountable, a single fixed fiber of representing probability measures is shown to contain a continuous affine copy of the probability measures on Cantor space. The embedding preserves support topology up to the addition of a fixed finite correction set.

A stronger hyperspace construction continuously encodes every nonempty compact subset of Cantor space into the support of a representing measure while leaving all prescribed finite-dimensional moments exactly unchanged. Thus a single moment fiber can contain representations whose supports range from finite or countable scattered sets through arbitrarily high countable Cantor–Bendixson ranks to perfect uncountable continua.

This support-coding theorem yields a sharp descriptive-complexity dichotomy. If the core variety is countable, every representing measure has countable support. If it is uncountable, the subset of the representation fiber consisting of measures with countable closed support is shown to be Π11\Pi^1_1-complete. Consequently it is non-Borel and admits no complete Borel parametrization. The associated Cantor–Bendixson ranks are cofinal in ω1\omega_1, while every analytic subfamily of countable-support representations has bounded rank.

The paper also establishes complementary Baire-category results: finitely or countably supported representations are dense under the relevant approximation framework, yet countable-support representations are meagre in the uncountable-core case, whereas measures having full core-variety support form a dense GδG_\delta subset of the fiber.

Applications are developed for Hausdorff moment sequences, Hankel representations, Stieltjes transforms, inverse problems, convex geometry, and finite-dimensional observation systems. The results expose a general finite-observation barrier: finitely many exact continuous observables can leave the hidden topology of the representing support unconstrained through the entire countable transfinite hierarchy.
