Abstract

In this paper we give a new proof of the existence of disintegration measures using the Hausdorff Moment Problem on a Borel measurable space X × Y, where X ≡ Y is the unit interval. Using this new tool, we can give an abstract solution, moreover, and a concrete necessary condition for the Lifting Problem for contractive 2-variable weighted shifts. In addition, we have a new, computable, and sufficient condition for the Lifting Problem for 2-variable weighted shifts, and an improved version of the Curto-Muhly-Xia conjecture [8] for 2-variable weighted shifts.
