Extract

In [5] Knowles proved the following.

Every compact Hausdorff space with no isolated points admits a non-atomic measure.

This note is concerned with the converse problem in a more general set up. Here we deal with certain properties of the family of completely regular spaces admitting no continuous measures. In §3 it is shown that this family contains spaces with no isolated points, thus theorem (1.1) does not generalize to completely regular spaces. In §4 a canonical decomposition of the compact members of the above family into discrete subspaces is obtained, and it is shown that these spaces are metrizable whenever they satisfy the first axiom of countability.
