Definition
Let $\struct {X, \Sigma, \mu}$ be a measure space.
Let $\map \MM {X, \Sigma}$ be the set of $\Sigma$-measurable functions on $X$.
Let $\sim_\mu$ be the almost-everywhere equality relation on $\map \MM {X, \Sigma}$ with respect to $\mu$.
We define the space of real-valued measurable functions identified by $\mu$-A.E. equality as the quotient set:
\(\ds \map \MM {X, \Sigma, \R} / \sim_\mu\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \set {\eqclass f {\sim_\mu} : f \in \map \MM {X, \Sigma, \R} }\) |
