A measure-preserving transformation of a measure space
is a measurable function
such that
for every measurable set , where
is its pre-image. Equivalently,
is an invariant measure for
, or the pushforward measure
equals
(Walkden 2018, p. 27). The map
need not be surjective. In the narrower convention
for an endomorphism of a probability
space,
is additionally required to be surjective.
