A Fenchel-Moreau Theorem for L̄⁰-Valued Functions

We establish a Fenchel-Moreau type theorem for proper convex functions $f\colon X\to \bar{L}^0$, where $(X, Y, \langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle)$ is a dual pair of Banach spaces and $\bar L^0$ is the space of all extended real-valued functions on a $\sigma$-finite measure space. We introduce the concept of stable lower semi-continuity which is shown to be equivalent to the existence of a dual representation $$\smash{ f(x)=\sup_{y \in L^0(Y)} \left\{\langle x, y \rangle - f^\ast(y)\right\}, \quad x\in X,}$$ where $L^0(Y)$ is the space of all strongly measurable functions with values in $Y$, and $\langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle$ is understood pointwise almost everywhere. The proof is based on a conditional extension result and conditional functional analysis.
