Abstract
The purpose of this note is to prove various versions of the ergodic decomposition theorem for probability measures on standard Borel spaces which are quasi-invariant under a Borel action of a locally compact second countable group or a discrete nonsingular equivalence relation. In the process we obtain a simultaneous ergodic decomposition of all quasi-invariant probability measures with a prescribed Radon-Nikodym derivative, analogous to classical results about decomposition of invariant probability measures.
