Infinite products of infinite measures
Illinois Journal of Mathematics, 2005 The authors prove the following product theorem for regular Borel measure spaces that need not be finite. Let \((X_i , B_i, m_i) (i\in \mathbb{N})\) be a sequence of regular Borel measure spaces, where each \(X_i\) is a Hausdorff topological space. Then there exists on the product space \(X := \prod_i X_i\) with the product topology a Borel measure ...
