A Decomposition for Borel Measures \(\mu \le \mathcal{H}^{s}\)

We prove that every finite Borel measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$ that is bounded from above by the Hausdorff measure $\mathcal{H}^s$ can be split in countable many parts $\mu\lfloor_{E_k}$ that are bounded from above by the Hausdorff content $\mathcal{H}_\infty^s$. Such a result generalises a theorem due to R. Delaware that says that any Borel set with finite Hausdorff measure can be decomposed as a countable disjoint union of straight sets. We also investigate the case where $\mu$ is not necessarily finite.
