Where can I read a proof of the following statement (if it is true).

Let $X$ be a Hausdorff topological space (not necessarily locally compact) and let $\mu$ be a Radon (i.e. locally finite and inner regular) measure defined on the $\sigma$-algebra of Borel subsets of $X$. The measure $\mu$ is determined by the functional $\phi\mapsto\int_{X} \phi d\mu, \phi\in C_{c}(X)$.

I have definitely seen the locally compact case before but I am not sure about the general case. It may be that the proof is really easy.

  • $\begingroup$ This might be helpful: mathoverflow.net/questions/159853/… But it looks like they're unable to find proofs without some replacement for local compactness. I doubt that the statement is true in the generality you've stated, but I can't find support for that. $\endgroup$ May 3, 2016 at 11:04
  • $\begingroup$ Ah. Try the fourth paragraph here: drmaciver.com/2014/04/locally-compact-hausdorff Without local compactness or a similar assumption, you can't fully recover $\mu$ by the argument there. $\endgroup$ May 3, 2016 at 11:09
