Borel selection of dominating hyperplanes

Abstract

We study a natural measurable selection problem for which the standard uniformisation theorems do not seem to apply directly, yet a Borel selector exists. More precisely, we consider families of finite dimensional functions that admit pointwise domination by affine functionals and ask whether such dominating functionals can be chosen in a Borel measurable way. We prove that this is indeed possible under semi-analytic regularity assumptions. The proof combines a one-dimensional Borel insertion result between an upper and a lower semi-analytic functions, derived from Lusin's separation theorem, with an induction on the dimension. As an application, we obtain Borel measurable selections of subgradients for parameter-dependent finite-dimensional convex functions, outside the scope of the standard normal integral framework.
