Jul 19, 2016 at 21:51 comment added Aryeh Kontorovich I think I understand the source of my confusion in the 2nd paragraph -- I had confused $\mu\ll\nu$ with the stronger condition $||d\mu/d\nu||_\infty<\infty$. When I assume that both Radon-Nikodym derivatives are essentially bounded, the doubling property of $\mu$ follows, yes? But of course, that's not the main question I'm after...
Jul 19, 2016 at 21:33 comment added Nate Eldredge Right. It's true that $d\nu/d\mu = 1/F'$ blows up near 0 but that's not a problem, it's still in $L^1(\mu)$.

Removed some false claims in light of the comments.
Jul 19, 2016 at 21:26 comment added Aryeh Kontorovich Oh I see. I had mistakenly assumed that $F'(x)$ blows up at $0$, but now I see this isn't the case. I'll edit the question to remove that paragraph -- but the main question remains for now.
Jul 19, 2016 at 21:16 comment added Nate Eldredge I believe my counterexample still applies. Note that the density $d\mu/d\nu$ is $F'(x)$ which is a.e. strictly positive.
Jul 19, 2016 at 21:15 comment added Aryeh Kontorovich Ack, I see my mistake. Do you agree that the 2nd paragraph holds if I additionally assume $\nu\ll\mu$?
Jul 19, 2016 at 21:08 comment added Nate Eldredge I don't think I agree with the second paragraph. Let $X = [0,1]$ with its usual metric, let $\nu$ be Lebesgue measure (which is doubling) and let $\mu$ be the probability measure with cdf $F(x) = e^{1-1/x}$. Then $\mu \ll \nu$ but $\mu$ is not doubling.
