Scaling of Lebesgue Measure and the Lebesgue Integral on Rn\mathbb{R}^n

Statement

Let n≥1n\ge1 be a natural number and let λn\lambda_n be Lebesgue measure on the Borel σ\sigma-algebra B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n). Scalar multiples are those of the real vector space Rn\mathbb{R}^n, and for a real number cc and B⊆RnB\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n we write

cB={cx:x∈B}.cB=\{cx:x\in B\}.

Powers with a natural exponent are those of Natural Number Power of an Element of a Field. Measurability and integrals of [0,∞][0,\infty]-valued functions are those of Lebesgue Integral of a Nonnegative Measurable Function, with the conventions of Measure, Measure Space, and Probability Measure extended by a⋅∞=∞⋅a=∞a\cdot\infty=\infty\cdot a=\infty for 0<a≤∞0<a\le\infty, and integrable means integrable. Fix a real number c≠0c\ne0 and write ∣c∣−n|c|^{-n} for the multiplicative inverse of ∣c∣n|c|^{n}.

1. (Sets) For every B∈B(Rn)B\in\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n) the set cBcB is Borel, and

λn(cB)=∣c∣n λn(B).\lambda_n(cB)=|c|^{n}\,\lambda_n(B).

2. (Nonnegative integrals) For every measurable f:Rn→[0,∞]f:\mathbb{R}^n\to[0,\infty] the map x↦f(cx)x\mapsto f(cx) is measurable and

∫Rnf(cx) dλn(x)=∣c∣−n∫Rnf dλnin [0,∞].\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}f(cx)\,d\lambda_n(x)=|c|^{-n}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}f\,d\lambda_n\qquad\text{in }[0,\infty].

3. (Integrable functions) Let f:Rn→Rf:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R} be measurable with respect to B(Rn)\mathcal{B}(\mathbb{R}^n) and the Borel σ\sigma-algebra of the real line. Then ff is integrable with respect to λn\lambda_n if and only if x↦f(cx)x\mapsto f(cx) is, and in that case the identity of claim 2 holds in R\mathbb{R}.
