How to prove that f= 0 mxm a.e. ? ( m: Lebesgue measure) I believe that we need to use Fubini's theorem, but how? thanks for help

Maybe you could do something along the lines of the following: Since $f$ is Lebesgue measurable and bounded, we have $\| f \|_{\infty} \ < \ \infty$ and so for any open disk $D \in \mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}$ we'd have $\int_D \ f \ \mathrm{d}(\mu\times\mu) \ \leq \ \|f\|_{\infty} \ \mu\times\mu(D)= 0$ implying that $\| f \|_{\infty} \= \ 0$ which I think is enough to conclude that $f \= \ 0 \ \mu\times\mu$ almost everywhere. I hope this helps inspire a true solution. Best of luck!

Sorry for the mistake, I woke up in the middle of the night and tried to do math---not a good idea! Let me try again. Suppose that $|f|_{\infty} > 0$. Then the set $A$ where $|f| > 0$ has positive Lebesgue measure. Let me designate $\lambda= \mu\times\mu$ for convenience. We can then find a disk $D$ large enough so that $\lambda(D\cap A) > 0$. But then $\int_D f \ \mathrm{d}\lambda= \int_{D\cap A} f \ \mathrm{d}\lambda + \int_{D\backslash A} f \ \mathrm{d}\lambda > 0=$ contradicting the property of $f$ given. So the essential supremum must be zero. This is hopefully not flawed! Let me know if it is. Best, Ormkärr

Since f is locally integrable, almost every point is a Lebesgue point. For each Lebesgue point x,

$f(x)= \lim_{r \to 0} \frac{1}{m(B(x,r))} \int_{B(x,r)} f \, d\mu = 0$

Hope this helps.

Now that is a nice proof!
