Mar 19, 2014 at 19:07 comment added alich yes, what about a not measurable set?
Mar 14, 2014 at 19:34 comment added Noah Schweber As Joseph's answer shows, the Fubini argument only shows that there is no such measurable set.

Mar 14, 2014 at 11:59 comment added Johannes Hahn @alich: Because such a set $A\subseteq\mathbb{R}^2$ would satisfy $0\neq \lambda^2(A) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^2} \chi_A(x,y) d\lambda^2(x,y) = \int_\mathbb{R} \int_\mathbb{R} \chi_A(x,y) d\lambda^1(x) d\lambda^1(y) = \int_\mathbb{R} 0 d\lambda^1(y) = 0$. (where $\lambda^{1,2}$ denotes the 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional lebesgue meausure respectively)

Mar 14, 2014 at 11:35 comment added alich Why does It contradict Fubini theorem?
Mar 14, 2014 at 11:31 comment added Alex Degtyarev Wouldn't this contradict Fubini's theorem? Of course, assuming that the set is measurable in the first place.
Mar 14, 2014 at 11:29 comment added alich because of some reasons in integrability of multivariable functions
