Let $f: mathbb{R} rightarrow mathbb{R}$ be a measurable function, is $f circ sin$ measurable?

$begingroup$


If $f circ sin$ is measurable, then we need to show that $(f circ sin)^{-1}(B) = sin^{-1}(f^{-1}(B))$ is measurable for every Borel set $B$, it is sufficient to show that $sin^{-1}$ takes a Lebesgue set into a Lebesgue set. We have also tried to work with the fact that $arcsin$ is locally Lipschitz, so if this property is sufficient to show that the image of a Lebesgue set is Lebesgue, then $sin^{-1}(f^{-1}(B)) = cup_{n in mathbb{Z}} arcsin(f^{-1}(B)) + 2npi $ would measurable.



It could happen that $fcirc sin$ is not measurable, but the task of finding a set $B$ such that $sin^{-1}(f^{-1}(B))$ is not measurable seems very difficult (maybe impossible?).

    Use $sin$ for $sin$, rather than $sin$ for $sin$, since the latter typically denotes the product of $s, i, n$. The same goes for using $arcsin$ for $arcsin$, and other trigonometric functions.

Yes, $ f circ sin$ is measurable. The composition of measurable functions is in general not measurable, so there is something to do. You allude to using Lipschitzness, but I think the relevant property is absolute continuity (which sine satisfies). We just need to show that absolutely continuous functions take Lebesgue measurable sets to Lebesgue measurable sets. This is answered here: Absolutely continuous maps measurable sets to measurable sets. The basic point is that absolutely continuous functions take null sets to null sets.
