absolute continuity of probability measure convolved with a mass measure

273 Views Asked by At

I found that if $\mu$ is a probability measure with compact support then $\mu * \delta_a$ can not be absolutely continuous w.r.t Lebesgue measure. Here $\delta_a$ is the Dirac measure supported at {a} and $a$ is non-zero.

I can't figure out how it can be justified. Any hints?
