Probability measure annihilating all finite-dimensional subspaces

TL;DR
The paper addresses the problem of constructing a probability measure on an infinite-dimensional Banach space $E$ that annihilates all finite-dimensional subspaces. It introduces an explicit, constructive method: embed $(0,1)$ into $E$ via an injective measurable map $x:(0,1)\to E$ built from a number-theoretic selection of index sets $N_t$ and a biorthogonal system, and define the measure $P$ as the pushforward of Lebesgue measure, $P(M)=\lambda(x^{-1}(M))$. The core contribution is proving that $P(M)=0$ for every finite-dimensional subspace $M\subset E$ because $M\cap \operatorname{Range}(x)$ is finite, leveraging the atomless nature of $\lambda$ and the injectivity of $x$. This establishes the existence of an atomless measure on $E$ with a strong annihilation property and addresses measurability of $\operatorname{Range}(x)$ as part of the construction.
Abstract
We construct a probability measure annihilating all finite-dimensional subspaces on an arbitrary infinite-dimensional Banach space.
