The support of a Borel measure on a metric space is closed, and on a separable space its complement is null.

Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a metric space, let Td\mathcal{T}_{d} be the collection of subsets of XX that are open in (X,d)(X,d), which is a topology on XX by Metric Open Sets Form a Topology, and let B(X,d)\mathcal{B}(X,d) be the Borel σ\sigma-algebra of (X,d)(X,d). Let μ\mu be a Borel measure on (X,d)(X,d) and let suppμ\operatorname{supp}\mu be its support. Then the following hold.

1. (The support is closed) The set XsuppμX\setminus\operatorname{supp}\mu belongs to Td\mathcal{T}_{d}. Consequently suppμ\operatorname{supp}\mu is closed in (X,Td)(X,\mathcal{T}_{d}) and belongs to B(X,d)\mathcal{B}(X,d), a σ\sigma-algebra containing the complement of each of its members by Sigma-Algebra and Measurable Space, so that μ(suppμ)\mu(\operatorname{supp}\mu) and μ(Xsuppμ)\mu(X\setminus\operatorname{supp}\mu) are defined.

2. (Full measure on a separable space) If (X,d)(X,d) is separable, then

μ(Xsuppμ)=0.\mu\bigl(X\setminus\operatorname{supp}\mu\bigr)=0 .
