Then from Lemma 8.0.3 this functional L and Lσ give the same Borel measure mp.Here σ is the permutation which yields (i1, · · · , ip) . Now let U be an open set. Then fromTheorem 8.1.3, and letting ψn be the increasing sequence of functions in Cc (U) convergingpointwise to XU , we obtain the following from the monotone convergence theorem appliedto the indicated succession of iterated integrals,∫

and all iterated integrals make sense. I am writing dxik for dm1(xik

Proof: Let S consist of the Borel sets E such that ∗ holds for E ∩ (−R,R)p. Then Scontains the open sets by what was just argued. The open sets are a π system because theyare closed with respect to finite intersections. Also, S is closed with respect to countabledisjoint unions by an application of the monotone convergence theorem on each iteratedintegral. If E ∈ S , does it follow that EC ∈ S ? First note that each iterated integral inXEC∩(−R,R)p makes sense because the corresponding integrals for XE∩(−R,R)p and X(−R,R)p

make sense and XEC∩(−R,R)p = X(−R,R)p −XE∩(−R,R)p .∫(−R,R)p

Let R→∞ and use the monotone convergence theorem as needed to obtain that the iteratedintegrals all make sense and that the equality is preserved with E in place of (−R,R)p∩E.■
