Is the Converse of the Radon-Nikodym Theorem true?

349 Views Asked by At

I'm curious as to whether the converse of the Radon-Nikodym theorem holds:

Converse Theorem: let $\mu.\nu$ be measures on $(\Omega,\Sigma)$ such that $$\nu : A\mapsto \int_A f \ d\mu$$ for some measurable function $f$. Then

  1. $\nu\ll\mu$, and
  2. $\mu$ and $\nu$ are $\sigma$-finite.

Proof: the first part is easy, as $$\mu(A) = 0\implies \int_A f \ d\mu = 0.$$


Does the second part, regarding $\sigma$-finiteness, hold?

It does not. Take any measure $\mu$. Then

$$\mu(A)=\int_A~\mathrm{d}\mu.$$
