    The authors study measure theory in the context of subsystems of second order arithmetic and reverse mathematics. They show that a formal statement of countable additivity for Lebesgue measure is equivalent to \(WKL_ 0\) over \(RCA_ 0\). They extend this result to arbitrary Borel measures on compact metric spaces.
