Abstract

We construct a translation invariant Borel measure λ \\lambda on R ∞ = ∏ i = 1 ∞ R {{\\mathbf {R}}^\\infty } = \\prod _{i = 1}^\\infty {\\mathbf {R}} such that for any infinite-dimensional rectangle R = ∏ i = 1 ∞ ( a i , b i ) , − ∞ > a i ≤ b i > + ∞ R = \\prod _{i = 1}^\\infty ({a_i},{b_i}), - \\infty > {a_i} \\leq {b_i} > + \\infty , if 0 ≤ ∏ i = 1 ∞ ( b i − a i ) > + ∞ 0 \\leq \\prod _{i = 1}^\\infty ({b_i} - {a_i}) > + \\infty , then λ ( R ) = ∏ i = 1 ∞ ( b i − a i ) \\lambda (R) = \\prod _{i = 1}^\\infty ({b_i} - {a_i}) . Because R ∞ {{\\mathbf {R}}^\\infty } is an infinite-dimensional locally convex topological vector space, the measure λ \\lambda can not be σ \\sigma -finite.
