Inner regular measures without atoms #

A σ-finite, inner regular measure on a Hausdorff space which vanishes on singletons has no atoms. In particular, this applies to locally finite measures on σ-compact metrizable spaces.

Given a measure μ that is inner regular with respect to compact sets, every measurable set s of finite positive measure contains a point x ∈ s such that s ∩ U has positive measure for all neighborhoods U of x.

Proof sketch: an atom s has finite measure by σ-finiteness and thus by exists_forall_nhds_measure_pos contains some x ∈ s such that s ∩ U has positive (hence full) measure for every neighborhood U of x. Now s \ {x} contains a compact L of positive measure, and separating x from L by disjoint open sets yields two disjoint subsets of s of full measure, a contradiction.
