The answer isIndeed, Lebesgue measure on is a sigma-finite measure, and duality of Lp spaces gives . The restricted Lebesgue measure is a non-atomic measure and has positive measure, so the Dual of L infinity is larger than L1: the canonical integral representation does not exhaust .
For , the Holder conjugate exponent also lies strictly between one and infinity. Duality of Lp spaces then holds in both directions, in agreement with Reflexivity of Lp spaces. For , the first required identification already fails.
