Let GG be a locally compact group, HH a closed subgroup of GG.

a) Any two nonzero quasi-invariant measures on G/HG/H are equivalent; the subsets of G/HG/H locally negligible for these measures are those whose inverse image in GG is locally negligible for a Haar measure.

b) Let λ,λ′\lambda, \lambda' be two nonzero quasi-invariant measures on G/HG/H. If, for every s∈Gs \in G, the densities of γG/H(s)λ\gamma_{G/H}(s)\lambda with respect to λ\lambda and of γG/H(s)λ′\gamma_{G/H}(s)\lambda' with respect to λ′\lambda' are equal almost everywhere for λ\lambda (or λ′\lambda'), then λ\lambda and λ′\lambda' are proportional.

The assertion a) follows at once from Lemma 4. Let λ\lambda and λ′\lambda' be two nonzero quasi-invariant measures satisfying the condition of b). Then, for every s∈Gs \in G, the densities of γG(s)λ#\gamma_G(s)\lambda^\# with respect to λ#\lambda^\# and of γG(s)λ′#\gamma_G(s){\lambda'}^\# with respect to λ′#{\lambda'}^\# are equal locally μ\mu-almost everywhere, therefore (Lemma 3) λ#\lambda^\# and λ′#{\lambda'}^\# are proportional, hence λ\lambda and λ′\lambda' are proportional.

On the other hand, Lemma 4 reduces the search for nonzero quasi-invariant measures on G/HG/H to that for the measures on GG equivalent to

Haar measure and of the form λ#\lambda^\#. On this subject we have the following lemma:

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
