In mathematics, specifically in measure theory, the trivial measure on any measurable space (X, Σ) is the measure μ which assigns zero measure to every measurable set: μ(A) = 0 for all A in Σ.[1]
Properties of the trivial measure
[edit]Let μ denote the trivial measure on some measurable space (X, Σ).
- A measure ν is the trivial measure μ if and only if ν(X) = 0.
- μ is an invariant measure (and hence a quasi-invariant measure) for any measurable function f : X → X.
Suppose that X is a topological space and that Σ is the Borel σ-algebra on X.
- μ trivially satisfies the condition to be a regular measure.
- μ is never a strictly positive measure, regardless of (X, Σ), since every measurable set has zero measure.
- Since μ(X) = 0, μ is always a finite measure, and hence a locally finite measure.
- If X is a Hausdorff topological space with its Borel σ-algebra, then μ trivially satisfies the condition to be a tight measure. Hence, μ is also a Radon measure. In fact, it is the vertex of the pointed cone of all non-negative Radon measures on X.
- If X is an infinite-dimensional Banach space with its Borel σ-algebra, then μ is the only measure on (X, Σ) that is locally finite and invariant under all translations of X. See the article There is no infinite-dimensional Lebesgue measure.
- If X is n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn with its usual σ-algebra and n-dimensional Lebesgue measure λn, μ is a singular measure with respect to λn: simply decompose Rn as A = Rn \ {0} and B = {0} and observe that μ(A) = λn(B) = 0.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
