Measurability of the section masses follows from Dynkin's theorem applied to measurable rectangles; monotone convergence then makes the composite a probability measure, determined by its values on rectangles. Iterated integration is proved for indicators, extended to bounded functions by linearity and uniform simple approximation, and to nonnegative functions by truncation and monotone convergence.

Proof

Each result cited is universally quantified over the data in its own statement.

Throughout, Y×ZY\times Z carries the σ\sigma-algebra Y⊗Z\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z}, measurability of a real-valued function is with respect to the Borel σ\sigma-algebra of the real line as in Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation §measurable, and integrals are those of Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation §integral. A nonnegative measurable real-valued function is also a measurable map into [0,∞][0,\infty] in the sense of Lebesgue Integral of a Nonnegative Measurable Function, by Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation §measurable. By Probability Kernels Between Measurable Spaces §kernel, each κy\kappa_{y} is a probability measure on (Z,Z)(Z,\mathcal{Z}) and each κ(⋅,B)\kappa(\cdot,B), B∈ZB\in\mathcal{Z}, is measurable with respect to Y\mathcal{Y}.

Step 0: two facts about a finite measure. Let (X,F,λ0)(X,\mathcal{F},\lambda_{0}) be a measure space with λ0(X)\lambda_{0}(X) a real number.

(P1) Let h:X→Rh:X\to\mathbb{R} be measurable and let c≥0c\ge0 be real with ∣h(x)∣≤c|h(x)|\le c for every x∈Xx\in X. Then hh is integrable and ∣∫Xh dλ0∣≤c λ0(X)\bigl|\int_{X}h\,d\lambda_{0}\bigr|\le c\,\lambda_{0}(X). Indeed, ∣h∣|h| is measurable by claim 4 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions and ∣h∣≤c1X|h|\le c\mathbf{1}_{X}, so Linearity and Monotonicity of the Lebesgue Integral §nonnegative (monotonicity and the scalar rule) and The Integral of an Indicator Function is the Measure of the Set give ∫X∣h∣ dλ0≤c∫X1X dλ0=c λ0(X)<∞\int_{X}|h|\,d\lambda_{0}\le c\int_{X}\mathbf{1}_{X}\,d\lambda_{0}=c\,\lambda_{0}(X)<\infty; hence hh is integrable by the criterion of Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation §integral, and ∣∫Xh dλ0∣≤∫X∣h∣ dλ0\bigl|\int_{X}h\,d\lambda_{0}\bigr|\le\int_{X}|h|\,d\lambda_{0} by Linearity and Monotonicity of the Lebesgue Integral §integrable; here the Lebesgue integral of the nonnegative integrable function ∣h∣|h| agrees with its integral as a nonnegative measurable function, bounded above, by (P2) below (whose proof does not use (P1)).

(P2) Let h:X→Rh:X\to\mathbb{R} be measurable and integrable with h≥0h\ge0. Then its Lebesgue integral equals its integral as a nonnegative measurable function. Indeed, in the notation of Integrable Function and the Lebesgue Integral, h+=hh^{+}=h and h−h^{-} is the zero function 0⋅1X0\cdot\mathbf{1}_{X}, whose integral is 0⋅λ0(X)=00\cdot\lambda_{0}(X)=0 by Linearity and Monotonicity of the Lebesgue Integral §nonnegative and The Integral of an Indicator Function is the Measure of the Set.

Step 1: clause 1 (Sections). For E∈Y⊗ZE\in\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z} write hE(y)=κ(y,Ey)h_{E}(y)=\kappa(y,E_{y}) for y∈Yy\in Y; this is defined since Ey∈ZE_{y}\in\mathcal{Z} by claim 1 of Sections of Product-Measurable Sets and Maps Are Measurable, and Insertion Maps into Products Are Measurable. Since κy\kappa_{y} is a measure with κy(Z)=1\kappa_{y}(Z)=1 and Ey⊆ZE_{y}\subseteq Z, Basic Properties of a Measure §monotone gives 0≤hE(y)≤10\le h_{E}(y)\le1.

Let P\mathcal{P} be the family of measurable rectangles A×BA\times B with A∈YA\in\mathcal{Y} and B∈ZB\in\mathcal{Z}, and let D\mathcal{D} be the family of those E∈Y⊗ZE\in\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z} for which hEh_{E} is measurable with respect to Y\mathcal{Y}. We apply Dynkin's Pi-Lambda Theorem with the π\pi-system P\mathcal{P} and the λ\lambda-system D\mathcal{D}, both families of subsets of Y×ZY\times Z.

P\mathcal{P} is a π\pi-system: it contains Y×ZY\times Z, and (A×B)∩(A′×B′)=(A∩A′)×(B∩B′)(A\times B)\cap(A'\times B')=(A\cap A')\times(B\cap B') with A∩A′∈YA\cap A'\in\mathcal{Y} and B∩B′∈ZB\cap B'\in\mathcal{Z} by Sigma-Algebra and Measurable Space.

P⊆D\mathcal{P}\subseteq\mathcal{D}: by Product Sigma-Algebra and Generated Sigma-Algebra, P⊆Y⊗Z\mathcal{P}\subseteq\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z}. For A∈YA\in\mathcal{Y}, B∈ZB\in\mathcal{Z} and y∈Yy\in Y, the section (A×B)y(A\times B)_{y} is BB if y∈Ay\in A and ∅\varnothing if y∉Ay\notin A; since κ(y,∅)=0\kappa(y,\varnothing)=0,

hA×B(y)=1A(y) κ(y,B)(y∈Y),(1)h_{A\times B}(y)=\mathbf{1}_{A}(y)\,\kappa(y,B)\qquad(y\in Y),\tag{1}

which is measurable by claims 1 and 3 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions and the measurability of κ(⋅,B)\kappa(\cdot,B).

D\mathcal{D} is a λ\lambda-system. (λ\lambda1) Y×Z∈DY\times Z\in\mathcal{D}, because hY×Z(y)=κ(y,Z)=1h_{Y\times Z}(y)=\kappa(y,Z)=1 for every yy, and constants are measurable by claim 1 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions. (λ\lambda2) Let E,F∈DE,F\in\mathcal{D} with E⊆FE\subseteq F. Then F∖E=F∩((Y×Z)∖E)∈Y⊗ZF\setminus E=F\cap((Y\times Z)\setminus E)\in\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z}, and for each yy we have (F∖E)y=Fy∖Ey(F\setminus E)_{y}=F_{y}\setminus E_{y} with Ey⊆FyE_{y}\subseteq F_{y} and κy(Fy)≤1<∞\kappa_{y}(F_{y})\le1<\infty, so Basic Properties of a Measure §differences gives hF∖E(y)=hF(y)−hE(y)h_{F\setminus E}(y)=h_{F}(y)-h_{E}(y); thus hF∖E=hF+(−1)hEh_{F\setminus E}=h_{F}+(-1)h_{E} is measurable by claim 2 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions. (λ\lambda3) Let (Em)m∈N(E^{m})_{m\in\mathbb{N}} be a sequence in D\mathcal{D} with Em⊆Em+1E^{m}\subseteq E^{m+1} for every mm, and let E=⋃mEmE=\bigcup_{m}E^{m}, which lies in Y⊗Z\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z}. For each yy the sections (Em)y(E^{m})_{y} are nondecreasing in mm with union EyE_{y}, and their measures hEm(y)h_{E^{m}}(y) are real and bounded above by 11; by Basic Properties of a Measure §continuity-below the sequence (hEm(y))m∈N(h_{E^{m}}(y))_{m\in\mathbb{N}} converges to hE(y)h_{E}(y). Hence hEh_{E} is measurable by claim 5 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions, and E∈DE\in\mathcal{D}.

By Dynkin's Pi-Lambda Theorem, σ(P)⊆D\sigma(\mathcal{P})\subseteq\mathcal{D}, and σ(P)=Y⊗Z\sigma(\mathcal{P})=\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z} by Product Sigma-Algebra; so hEh_{E} is measurable for every E∈Y⊗ZE\in\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z}. Since ∣hE∣≤1|h_{E}|\le1 and μ(Y)=1\mu(Y)=1, (P1) shows that hEh_{E} is integrable with respect to μ\mu. This proves clause 1.

Step 2: clause 2 (Composite measure). For E∈Y⊗ZE\in\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z} we have (μ⊗κ)(E)=∫YhE dμ(\mu\otimes\kappa)(E)=\int_{Y}h_{E}\,d\mu, which by (P2) is also the integral of hEh_{E} as a nonnegative measurable function; since 0≤hE≤1Y0\le h_{E}\le\mathbf{1}_{Y}, Linearity and Monotonicity of the Lebesgue Integral §nonnegative and The Integral of an Indicator Function is the Measure of the Set give 0≤(μ⊗κ)(E)≤μ(Y)=10\le(\mu\otimes\kappa)(E)\le\mu(Y)=1, so μ⊗κ\mu\otimes\kappa takes values in [0,∞][0,\infty]. Since κ(y,∅)=0\kappa(y,\varnothing)=0 for every yy, h∅h_{\varnothing} is the zero function 0⋅1Y0\cdot\mathbf{1}_{Y}, whose integral is 0⋅μ(Y)=00\cdot\mu(Y)=0 by Linearity and Monotonicity of the Lebesgue Integral §nonnegative, The Integral of an Indicator Function is the Measure of the Set and (P2); so (μ⊗κ)(∅)=0(\mu\otimes\kappa)(\varnothing)=0.

Countable additivity. Let (Em)m∈N(E^{m})_{m\in\mathbb{N}} be pairwise disjoint members of Y⊗Z\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z} with union EE. For each y∈Yy\in Y the sections (Em)y(E^{m})_{y} are pairwise disjoint members of Z\mathcal{Z} with union EyE_{y}, so by the countable additivity of the measure κy\kappa_{y} (Measure, Measure Space, and Probability Measure), hE(y)=∑m∈NhEm(y)h_{E}(y)=\sum_{m\in\mathbb{N}}h_{E^{m}}(y); as this sum is the real number hE(y)h_{E}(y), by the definition of the sum in Measure, Measure Space, and Probability Measure it is the least upper bound of the partial sums Hn(y)=∑m=1nhEm(y)H_{n}(y)=\sum_{m=1}^{n}h_{E^{m}}(y). The functions HnH_{n} are nonnegative and measurable by claim 2 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions, and Hn≤Hn+1H_{n}\le H_{n+1}. By Monotone Convergence Theorem on (Y,Y,μ)(Y,\mathcal{Y},\mu),

∫YhE dμ=sup⁡n∫YHn dμ,\int_{Y}h_{E}\,d\mu=\sup_{n}\int_{Y}H_{n}\,d\mu ,

and by the additivity in Linearity and Monotonicity of the Lebesgue Integral §nonnegative, applied n−1n-1 times, ∫YHn dμ=∑m=1n∫YhEm dμ=∑m=1n(μ⊗κ)(Em)\int_{Y}H_{n}\,d\mu=\sum_{m=1}^{n}\int_{Y}h_{E^{m}}\,d\mu=\sum_{m=1}^{n}(\mu\otimes\kappa)(E^{m}) (all integrals here being nonnegative integrals, equal to the Lebesgue integrals by (P2) and Step 1). Hence the partial sums of ((μ⊗κ)(Em))m∈N((\mu\otimes\kappa)(E^{m}))_{m\in\mathbb{N}} are real, bounded above by the real number (μ⊗κ)(E)(\mu\otimes\kappa)(E), and have least upper bound (μ⊗κ)(E)(\mu\otimes\kappa)(E); by Measure, Measure Space, and Probability Measure this says (μ⊗κ)(E)=∑m∈N(μ⊗κ)(Em)(\mu\otimes\kappa)(E)=\sum_{m\in\mathbb{N}}(\mu\otimes\kappa)(E^{m}). Thus μ⊗κ\mu\otimes\kappa is a measure on (Y×Z,Y⊗Z)(Y\times Z,\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z}).

Since hY×Z=1Yh_{Y\times Z}=\mathbf{1}_{Y}, The Integral of an Indicator Function is the Measure of the Set and (P2) give (μ⊗κ)(Y×Z)=μ(Y)=1(\mu\otimes\kappa)(Y\times Z)=\mu(Y)=1, so μ⊗κ\mu\otimes\kappa is a probability measure. The rectangle formula of clause 2 is (1) integrated against μ\mu.

Step 3: clause 3 (Rectangles determine it). Let π\pi be as in clause 3. By Step 2, π\pi and μ⊗κ\mu\otimes\kappa agree on every member of P\mathcal{P}. Taking A=YA=Y and B=ZB=Z gives π(Y×Z)=∫Y1Y(y)κ(y,Z) μ(dy)=1=(μ⊗κ)(Y×Z)<∞\pi(Y\times Z)=\int_{Y}\mathbf{1}_{Y}(y)\kappa(y,Z)\,\mu(dy)=1=(\mu\otimes\kappa)(Y\times Z)<\infty. By Step 1, P\mathcal{P} is a π\pi-system, and its generated σ\sigma-algebra in the sense of Generated Sigma-Algebra is Y⊗Z\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z} by Product Sigma-Algebra. Claim 1 of Uniqueness of Finite Measures on a Generating Pi-System and the Density of the Exponential Law, applied to the measurable space (Y×Z,Y⊗Z)(Y\times Z,\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z}), the π\pi-system P\mathcal{P} and the measures π\pi and μ⊗κ\mu\otimes\kappa, gives π=μ⊗κ\pi=\mu\otimes\kappa.

Step 4: clause 4 (Bounded functions). Let f:Y×Z→Rf:Y\times Z\to\mathbb{R} be measurable with respect to Y⊗Z\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z}, and let M≥0M\ge0 be real with ∣f∣≤M|f|\le M. For each y∈Yy\in Y, f(y,⋅)f(y,\cdot) is measurable with respect to Z\mathcal{Z} by claim 3 of Sections of Product-Measurable Sets and Maps Are Measurable, and Insertion Maps into Products Are Measurable and is bounded by MM, so by (P1) on (Z,Z,κy)(Z,\mathcal{Z},\kappa_{y}) it is integrable and gf(y)=∫Zf(y,z) κy(dz)g_{f}(y)=\int_{Z}f(y,z)\,\kappa_{y}(dz) satisfies ∣gf(y)∣≤M|g_{f}(y)|\le M. By (P1) on the probability space (Y×Z,Y⊗Z,μ⊗κ)(Y\times Z,\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z},\mu\otimes\kappa) of Step 2, ff is integrable with respect to μ⊗κ\mu\otimes\kappa; and once gfg_{f} is known to be measurable with respect to Y\mathcal{Y}, (P1) shows that it is integrable with respect to μ\mu. So it remains to prove, for every bounded measurable ff, the property

(R) gfg_{f} is measurable with respect to Y\mathcal{Y} and ∫Y×Zf d(μ⊗κ)=∫Ygf dμ\int_{Y\times Z}f\,d(\mu\otimes\kappa)=\int_{Y}g_{f}\,d\mu.

Let H\mathcal{H} be the set of bounded measurable f:Y×Z→Rf:Y\times Z\to\mathbb{R} satisfying (R).

(4a) Indicators. Let E∈Y⊗ZE\in\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z}. Then 1E(y,⋅)=1Ey\mathbf{1}_{E}(y,\cdot)=\mathbf{1}_{E_{y}}, so by The Integral of an Indicator Function is the Measure of the Set and (P2), g1E(y)=κ(y,Ey)=hE(y)g_{\mathbf{1}_{E}}(y)=\kappa(y,E_{y})=h_{E}(y), measurable by Step 1; and ∫1E d(μ⊗κ)=(μ⊗κ)(E)=∫YhE dμ\int\mathbf{1}_{E}\,d(\mu\otimes\kappa)=(\mu\otimes\kappa)(E)=\int_{Y}h_{E}\,d\mu by the same two results and the definition of μ⊗κ\mu\otimes\kappa. So 1E∈H\mathbf{1}_{E}\in\mathcal{H}.

(4b) Linear combinations. Let f1,f2∈Hf_{1},f_{2}\in\mathcal{H} and a,b∈Ra,b\in\mathbb{R}. Then af1+bf2af_{1}+bf_{2} is measurable by claim 2 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions and bounded. By Linearity and Monotonicity of the Lebesgue Integral §integrable on each (Z,Z,κy)(Z,\mathcal{Z},\kappa_{y}), gaf1+bf2=agf1+bgf2g_{af_{1}+bf_{2}}=ag_{f_{1}}+bg_{f_{2}}, which is measurable by claim 2 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions; and the same linearity on (Y×Z,μ⊗κ)(Y\times Z,\mu\otimes\kappa) and on (Y,μ)(Y,\mu), where all functions involved are integrable by (P1), gives ∫(af1+bf2) d(μ⊗κ)=a∫Ygf1 dμ+b∫Ygf2 dμ=∫Ygaf1+bf2 dμ\int(af_{1}+bf_{2})\,d(\mu\otimes\kappa)=a\int_{Y}g_{f_{1}}\,d\mu+b\int_{Y}g_{f_{2}}\,d\mu=\int_{Y}g_{af_{1}+bf_{2}}\,d\mu. So af1+bf2∈Haf_{1}+bf_{2}\in\mathcal{H}. By (4a), (4b) and induction on the number of terms of the standard representation of Simple Function and Its Integral, every simple function on (Y×Z,Y⊗Z)(Y\times Z,\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z}) belongs to H\mathcal{H}.

(4c) Uniform limits. Let ff be bounded and measurable, and suppose there are fm∈Hf_{m}\in\mathcal{H} and reals δm≥0\delta_{m}\ge0, for m∈Nm\in\mathbb{N}, such that (δm)(\delta_{m}) converges to 00 and ∣f−fm∣≤δm|f-f_{m}|\le\delta_{m} everywhere. For y∈Yy\in Y, linearity (Linearity and Monotonicity of the Lebesgue Integral §integrable) and (P1) with κy(Z)=1\kappa_{y}(Z)=1 give ∣gf(y)−gfm(y)∣=∣∫Z(f−fm)(y,z) κy(dz)∣≤δm|g_{f}(y)-g_{f_{m}}(y)|=\bigl|\int_{Z}(f-f_{m})(y,z)\,\kappa_{y}(dz)\bigr|\le\delta_{m}, so (gfm(y))m(g_{f_{m}}(y))_{m} converges to gf(y)g_{f}(y), and gfg_{f} is measurable by claim 5 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions. Then ∣gf−gfm∣≤δm|g_{f}-g_{f_{m}}|\le\delta_{m} and ∣f−fm∣≤δm|f-f_{m}|\le\delta_{m}, and the same two results on the probability spaces (Y,Y,μ)(Y,\mathcal{Y},\mu) and (Y×Z,Y⊗Z,μ⊗κ)(Y\times Z,\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z},\mu\otimes\kappa) give

∣∫f d(μ⊗κ)−∫Ygf dμ∣≤∣∫(f−fm) d(μ⊗κ)∣+∣∫Y(gfm−gf) dμ∣≤2δm,\Bigl|\int f\,d(\mu\otimes\kappa)-\int_{Y}g_{f}\,d\mu\Bigr|\le\Bigl|\int(f-f_{m})\,d(\mu\otimes\kappa)\Bigr|+\Bigl|\int_{Y}(g_{f_{m}}-g_{f})\,d\mu\Bigr|\le2\delta_{m},

using ∫fm d(μ⊗κ)=∫Ygfm dμ\int f_{m}\,d(\mu\otimes\kappa)=\int_{Y}g_{f_{m}}\,d\mu. Given a real ε>0\varepsilon>0, choose mm with 2δm<ε2\delta_{m}<\varepsilon; so the left side is less than every positive real, hence 00, and f∈Hf\in\mathcal{H}.

(4d) Conclusion. Let ff be bounded and measurable with ∣f∣≤M|f|\le M. The functions f+=max⁡(f,0)f^{+}=\max(f,0) and f−=max⁡(−f,0)f^{-}=\max(-f,0) are measurable by claims 1, 2 and 4 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions, satisfy 0≤f±≤M0\le f^{\pm}\le M, and f=f+−f−f=f^{+}-f^{-}. By claim 2 of Approximation of Measurable Functions by Simple Functions on the measure space (Y×Z,Y⊗Z,μ⊗κ)(Y\times Z,\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z},\mu\otimes\kappa) with K=MK=M, there are nonnegative simple functions sms_{m} with 0≤f+−sm≤(1/2)m0\le f^{+}-s_{m}\le(1/2)^{m} for every mm, and ((1/2)m)m((1/2)^{m})_{m} converges to 00 by Series of Nonnegative Real Numbers, Comparison, and the Geometric Series §geometric. By (4b) each sm∈Hs_{m}\in\mathcal{H}, so f+∈Hf^{+}\in\mathcal{H} by (4c); likewise f−∈Hf^{-}\in\mathcal{H}, and f∈Hf\in\mathcal{H} by (4b). With the remarks at the start of this step, this proves clause 4, the function gg of clause 4 being gfg_{f}.

Step 5: clause 5 (Nonnegative functions). Let f≥0f\ge0 be measurable. For n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N} let fn=min⁡(f,n)f_{n}=\min(f,n), measurable by claims 1 and 4 of Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions, with 0≤fn≤fn+1≤f0\le f_{n}\le f_{n+1}\le f and fn≤nf_{n}\le n; for each point pp, fn(p)=f(p)f_{n}(p)=f(p) as soon as n≥f(p)n\ge f(p), so f(p)f(p) is the least upper bound of {fn(p):n∈N}\{f_{n}(p):n\in\mathbb{N}\}. Let gn=gfng_{n}=g_{f_{n}} be the function of clause 4 for fnf_{n}; by Step 4 it is measurable with respect to Y\mathcal{Y}, it is nonnegative because, by (P2), each gn(y)g_{n}(y) equals the integral of the nonnegative function fn(y,⋅)f_{n}(y,\cdot) as a nonnegative measurable function; and gn≤gn+1g_{n}\le g_{n+1} by the monotonicity in Linearity and Monotonicity of the Lebesgue Integral §integrable, and ∫fn d(μ⊗κ)=∫Ygn dμ\int f_{n}\,d(\mu\otimes\kappa)=\int_{Y}g_{n}\,d\mu. Let G:Y→[0,∞]G:Y\to[0,\infty] be the pointwise least upper bound in [0,∞][0,\infty] of (gn)(g_{n}).

For fixed yy, the functions fn(y,⋅)f_{n}(y,\cdot) are nonnegative, measurable with respect to Z\mathcal{Z}, nondecreasing in nn, with least upper bound f(y,⋅)f(y,\cdot); by Monotone Convergence Theorem on (Z,Z,κy)(Z,\mathcal{Z},\kappa_{y}) and (P2), the integral of f(y,⋅)f(y,\cdot) as a nonnegative function is sup⁡ngn(y)=G(y)\sup_{n}g_{n}(y)=G(y). By the criterion of Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation §integral, and since ∣f(y,⋅)∣=f(y,⋅)|f(y,\cdot)|=f(y,\cdot), the function f(y,⋅)f(y,\cdot) is integrable with respect to κy\kappa_{y} exactly when G(y)<∞G(y)<\infty, that is, when {gn(y):n∈N}\{g_{n}(y):n\in\mathbb{N}\} is bounded above, that is, when there is K∈NK\in\mathbb{N} with gn(y)≤Kg_{n}(y)\le K for all nn. Hence

N={y∈Y:G(y)=∞}=Y∖⋃K∈N⋂n∈N(Y∖{y:gn(y)>K}),N=\{y\in Y:G(y)=\infty\}=Y\setminus\bigcup_{K\in\mathbb{N}}\bigcap_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\bigl(Y\setminus\{y:g_{n}(y)>K\}\bigr),

and each {y:gn(y)>K}\{y:g_{n}(y)>K\} belongs to Y\mathcal{Y} by claim 3 of Rational Intervals and Rays Generate the Borel Sigma-Algebra of the Real Line; so N∈YN\in\mathcal{Y} by Sigma-Algebra and Measurable Space. For y∉Ny\notin N, (P2) gives g(y)=G(y)g(y)=G(y), the least upper bound of the gn(y)g_{n}(y); for y∈Ny\in N, g(y)=0g(y)=0. Hence for every real cc,

{y:g(y)>c}=((Y∖N)∩⋃n∈N{y:gn(y)>c})∪Nc,\{y:g(y)>c\}=\Bigl((Y\setminus N)\cap\bigcup_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\{y:g_{n}(y)>c\}\Bigr)\cup N_{c},

where Nc=NN_{c}=N if c<0c<0 and Nc=∅N_{c}=\varnothing if c≥0c\ge0. This set lies in Y\mathcal{Y}, so gg is measurable by claim 3 of Rational Intervals and Rays Generate the Borel Sigma-Algebra of the Real Line. Moreover g≤Gg\le G everywhere and g=Gg=G on Y∖NY\setminus N.

By Monotone Convergence Theorem on (Y×Z,Y⊗Z,μ⊗κ)(Y\times Z,\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z},\mu\otimes\kappa) applied to (fn)(f_{n}), and on (Y,Y,μ)(Y,\mathcal{Y},\mu) applied to (gn)(g_{n}) (which also shows that GG is measurable), together with (P2),

∫f d(μ⊗κ)=sup⁡n∫fn d(μ⊗κ)=sup⁡n∫Ygn dμ=∫YG dμ,(2)\int f\,d(\mu\otimes\kappa)=\sup_{n}\int f_{n}\,d(\mu\otimes\kappa)=\sup_{n}\int_{Y}g_{n}\,d\mu=\int_{Y}G\,d\mu ,\tag{2}

all three as integrals of nonnegative functions in [0,∞][0,\infty]. By the criterion of Measure Spaces and the Lebesgue Integral: Standing Notation §integral, ff is integrable with respect to μ⊗κ\mu\otimes\kappa exactly when the quantity (2) is finite.

Suppose ff is integrable. Then ∫YG dμ<∞\int_{Y}G\,d\mu<\infty, so μ(N)=0\mu(N)=0 by The Lebesgue Integral and Null Sets: Almost-Everywhere Comparison, Markov's Inequality, and Dominated Convergence Almost Everywhere §finite; and ∫Yg dμ≤∫YG dμ<∞\int_{Y}g\,d\mu\le\int_{Y}G\,d\mu<\infty by Linearity and Monotonicity of the Lebesgue Integral §nonnegative, so gg is integrable. Conversely, suppose μ(N)=0\mu(N)=0 and gg is integrable. In either case μ(N)=0\mu(N)=0, so NN is null by Null Set of a Measure and g=Gg=G almost everywhere by A Property Holding Almost Everywhere; hence The Lebesgue Integral and Null Sets: Almost-Everywhere Comparison, Markov's Inequality, and Dominated Convergence Almost Everywhere §comparison gives ∫YG dμ=∫Yg dμ\int_{Y}G\,d\mu=\int_{Y}g\,d\mu, which in the converse case is finite because g=∣g∣g=|g| is integrable, so ff is integrable by (2). In both cases (2) and (P2) give ∫f d(μ⊗κ)=∫Yg dμ\int f\,d(\mu\otimes\kappa)=\int_{Y}g\,d\mu as Lebesgue integrals. This proves clause 5.

Step 6: clause 6 (Constant kernels). Suppose κy=λ\kappa_{y}=\lambda for every yy. The measures μ\mu and λ\lambda are σ\sigma-finite in the sense of Measure, Measure Space, and Probability Measure, as the constant sequences Y,Y,…Y,Y,\dots and Z,Z,…Z,Z,\dots show, since μ(Y)=λ(Z)=1\mu(Y)=\lambda(Z)=1. By Existence and Uniqueness of the Product Measure there is exactly one measure μ⊗λ\mu\otimes\lambda on Y⊗Z\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z} with (μ⊗λ)(A×B)=μ(A)λ(B)(\mu\otimes\lambda)(A\times B)=\mu(A)\lambda(B) for all A∈YA\in\mathcal{Y} and B∈ZB\in\mathcal{Z}. By Step 2, μ⊗κ\mu\otimes\kappa is a measure on Y⊗Z\mathcal{Y}\otimes\mathcal{Z}, and for A∈YA\in\mathcal{Y}, B∈ZB\in\mathcal{Z}, using (P2), the scalar rule of Linearity and Monotonicity of the Lebesgue Integral §nonnegative with the real constant λ(B)≥0\lambda(B)\ge0, and The Integral of an Indicator Function is the Measure of the Set,

(μ⊗κ)(A×B)=∫Yλ(B)1A dμ=λ(B) μ(A)=μ(A)λ(B).(\mu\otimes\kappa)(A\times B)=\int_{Y}\lambda(B)\mathbf{1}_{A}\,d\mu=\lambda(B)\,\mu(A)=\mu(A)\lambda(B).

By the uniqueness in Existence and Uniqueness of the Product Measure, μ⊗κ=μ⊗λ\mu\otimes\kappa=\mu\otimes\lambda.
