Abstract: Let $\mathbb{R}$ be the set of real numbers, and define $ \mathbb{R}^{\infty }=\prod \limits ^{\infty }_{i=1}\mathbb{R}$. We construct a complete measure space $(\mathbb{R}^{\infty },\mathcal{L},\lambda )$ where the $\sigma $-algebra $\mathcal{L}$ contains the Borel subsets of $\mathbb{R}^{\infty }$, and $\lambda $ is a translation-invariant measure such that for any measurable rectangle $R=\prod \limits ^{\infty }_{i=1}R_{i}$, if $0\le \prod \limits ^{\infty }_{i=1}m(R_{i})<+\infty $, then $\lambda (R)=\prod \limits ^{\infty }_{i=1}m(R_{i})$, where $m$ is Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb{R}$. The measure $\lambda $ is not $\sigma $-finite. We prove three Fubini theorems, namely, the Fubini theorem, the mean Fubini-Jensen theorem, and the pointwise Fubini-Jensen theorem. Finally, as an application of the measure $\lambda $, we construct, via selfadjoint operators on $L_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{\infty },\mathcal{L},\lambda )$, a ``Schrödinger model'' of the canonical commutation relations: $[P_{j},P_{k}]=[Q_{j},Q_{k}]=0$, $[P_{j},Q_{k}]=i\delta _{jk}$, $1\le j,k<+\infty $.
