Measure Theory - Lebesgue Integral over non- $\sigma$-finite spaces

265 Views Asked by At

In most courses on Measure Theory the Lebesgue Integral is introduced initially for simple functions on finite spaces, then for general functions on finite spaces and finally for general functions on $\sigma$-finite spaces.

I was wondering if there exists any sort of notion of integrals on non- $\sigma$-finite spaces? If not why so? Is it because there's no way to handle the convergence of non-countable sequences, and we would essentially need to redefine the notion of integrability altogether?

Would appreciate any insight on the matter.

Thanks!
