On Riesz product measures; mutual absolute continuity and singularity (Q1096115)

We give some criteria for mutual absolute continuity and for singularity of Riesz product measures on locally compact abelian groups. The first section gives the definition of such a measure which is more general than the usual definition. The second section provides three sufficient conditions for one Riesz product measure to be absolutely continuous with respect to another. One of our results contains a theorem of Brown-Moran- Ritter as a special case. The final section deals with random Riesz product measures. We shall establish a certain probabilistic dichotomy for such measures.
