Audit review
The paper’s Theorem A states that any measure-preserving action of a locally compact Polish group on a standard σ-finite space is spatially isomorphic to a continuous action on a locally compact Polish space with a Radon measure, and it supplies two rigorous proofs: one via boolean actions plus Mackey (yielding Corollary 4.4) and another direct, measured construction (Theorem 5.4) that embeds the entire space with Radon pushforward measure . The candidate solution incorrectly relies on a Varadarajan-style topological realization and then asserts that σ-finite Borel measures on Polish spaces are automatically Radon—this is false in general and precisely why the compact-model approach fails for infinite measures (the pushforward is not locally finite on a compact space) as the paper itself emphasizes . The paper provides the missing local-finiteness/Radon arguments via convolution and G-continuous functions, while the model does not. Hence, the paper correctly solves the problem; the candidate model’s key Radon step is wrong.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field \textbf{Justification:} The work establishes a robust continuous Radon model for infinite measure-preserving actions of locally compact Polish groups, closing the gap left by classical compact topological realizations. Two independent proofs enhance reliability and accessibility. The exposition is clear and contextualized, with only minor typographical and expository improvements suggested.
