Streszczenie
Let $K$ be a compact space, and denote by $\widetilde{K}$ its hyper-Stonean envelope. We discuss the class of spaces $K$ with the property that $\widetilde{K}$ is homeomorphic to $\widetilde{{\mathbb I}}$, the hyper-Stonean envelope of the closed unit interval ${\mathbb I}$. Certainly each uncountable, compact, metrizable space $K$ belongs to this class. We describe several further classes of compact spaces $K$ for which $\widetilde{K} = \widetilde{{\mathbb I}}$. In fact, $\widetilde{K} = \widetilde{{\mathbb I}}$ if and only if the Banach spaces $M(K)$ and $M({\mathbb I})$ of measures on $K$ and ${\mathbb I}$ are isometrically isomorphic.
