Extract

In this paper we prove some theorems concerning measures on complete Boolean algebras. Among other things, in §I of this paper, we construct a counterexample to the following conjecture of W. Luxemburg: Every measure on a nonatomic hyperstonian Boolean algebra is normal. (See [3, p. 57].) This result is expressed by Theorem 1, §I. In order to construct this example we have to suppose that a real-valued measurable cardinal exists. This hypothesis is independent of the usual axioms of set theory. Luxemburg proved that our assumption is necessary. Our second result is stated in Theorem 2 near the end of the paper.
