Extract

This paper is concerned with two aspects of the theory of measures on compact totally ordered spaces (the topology is to be the order topology). In Section 2, we clarify a recent construction of Sapounakis [11, 12] and, in so doing, we are able to say a little more about it. It should be added here that Sapounakis had other ends in view. To be precise, let I be the closed unit interval [0, 1] and let λ be Lebesgue measure on I. We shall construct another totally ordered set Ĩ which is compact in its order topology, a continuous increasing surjection τ : Ĩ → I with the property that card τ−1(t) = 2 for all t ∈ ]0,1[ (these brackets denote the open interval), and a measure on Ĩ such that τ() = λ. Then the following theorem holds.
