Abstract
This entry formalizes the coproduct measure.
Let $I$ be a set and $\{(M_i,\Sigma_{M_i})\}_{i\in I}$ measurable spaces.
The $\sigma$-algebra
on $\coprod_{i\in I} M_i = \{(i,x)\mid i\in I\land x\in M_i\}$
is defined by $\Sigma_{\coprod_{i\in I} M_i} = \{A \mid \forall i\in I. A_i\in\Sigma_{M_i}\}$, where $A_i = \{x\mid (i,x)\in A\}$.
Let $\mu_i$ be measures on $(M_i,\Sigma_{M_i})$ for all $i\in I$ and $A\in \Sigma_{\coprod_{i\in I} M_i}$.
The coproduct measure $\coprod_{i\in I} \mu_i$ is defined as follows:
\[\left(\coprod_{i\in I} \mu_i\right)(A) = \sum_{i\in I} \mu_i(A_i).\]
We also prove the relationship with coproduct quasi-Borel spaces:
the functor $R: \mathbf{Meas}\to\mathbf{QBS}$ preserves countable coproducts.
