Proof: By Corollary 20.2.8 and Theorem 20.2.5 which says that |λ | is finite, thereexists a unique f such that | f |= 1 |λ | a.e. and

λ (E) =∫

Ef d |λ | .

Now |λ | ≪ µ and so it follows from Corollary 20.1.3 there exists a unique nonnegativemeasurable function h such that for all E measurable,

|λ |(E) =∫

where since |λ | is finite, h ∈ L1 (Ω,µ) . It follows from approximating f with simple func-tions and using the above formula that

Then let g = L1 (Ω,µ) . This proves the corollary.

Corollary 20.2.10 Suppose (Ω,S ) is a measure space and µ is a finite nonnegative mea-sure on S . Then for h ∈ L1 (µ) , define a complex measure, λ by

Furthermore, |h|= gh where gd |λ | is the polar decomposition of λ ,

It follows gh ≥ 0 a.e. and |g| = 1. Therefore, |h| = |gh| = gh. It follows from the above,that
