Comments

The second characterization in the main article above holds if and are -additive -finite measures on an abstract measurable space, and and belong to the -field.

Mutually-singular measures are also called singular measures or orthogonal measures.

Instead of "concentrated on" one also uses "supported in" (cf. also Support of a measure).
