{\bf \PMlinkescapetext{Definition} -} Let $X$ be a topological space and $\mathcal{B}$ be its \PMlinkname{Borel $\sigma$-algebra}{BorelSigmaAlgebra}. A {\bf Borel measure} on $X$ is a measure on the measurable space $(X,\mathcal{B})$. {\bf \PMlinkescapetext{Definition} -} Let $X$ be a topological space and $\mathcal{B}$ be its \PMlinkname{Borel $\sigma$-algebra}{BorelSigmaAlgebra}. A {\bf Borel measure} on $X$ is a measure on the measurable space $(X,\mathcal{B})$.
An alternative definition of a Borel measure is as follows. An alternative definition of a Borel measure is as follows.

Let $X$ be a topological space and let $\mu$ be a \PMlinkname{measure}{Measure} on the measurable space $(X,\mathcal{B})$. Let $X$ be a topological space and let $\mu$ be a measure on the measurable space $(X,\mathcal{B})$.
Then, a \emph{Borel measure on $X$} is defined as a Then, a \emph{Borel measure on $X$} is defined as a
\emph{measure $\mu_B$ with the property that $\mu_B (K) < \infty$ for all compact subsets} of $X$, (ref.\cite{MRB2k6}). \emph{measure $\mu_B$ with the property that $\mu_B (K) < \infty$ for all compact subsets} of $X$, (ref.\cite{MRB2k6}).
{\bf Remark -} The \PMlinkname{restriction}{RestrictionOfAFunction} of the Lebesgue measure to the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is also sometimes called ``the'' Borel measure of $\mathbb{R}^n$. {\bf Remark -} The \PMlinkname{restriction}{RestrictionOfAFunction} of the Lebesgue measure to the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is also sometimes called ``the'' Borel measure of $\mathbb{R}^n$.
