Monolithic spaces of measures

Abstract

For a compact space $K$ we consider the space $P(K)$, of probability regular Borel measures on $K$, equipped with the $weak^\ast$ topology inherited from $C(K)^\ast$. We discuss possible characterizations of those compact spaces $K$ for which $P(K)$ is $\aleph_0$-monolithic. The main result states that under $\diamondsuit$ there exists a nonseparable Corson compact space $K$ such that $P(K)$ is $\aleph_0$-monolithic but $K$ supports a measure of uncountable type.
