I could swear that years ago I saw a statement of a result saying that any nonatomic (complete?) probability measure was in some sense isomorphic to Lebesgue measure on $[0,1]$. Wanted to try to prove it just to keep in shape, but I can't come up with a precise statement of such a result that's not obviously false.
Anyone recall what that result actually says?
Context: Was reminded of this by the comments to my answer here .
My work so far: Realized at the start that it can't be a pointwise isomorphism, because there could be a null set of cardinality greater than $c$.
So then I say maybe it's the measure algebras that are isomorphic (where the measure algebra for a measure space is the algebra of measurable sets modulo null sets). But no, the measure algebra for the uniform measure on $\{0,1\}^S$ can have arbitrarily large cardinality (quick proof: There's a family of independent events of cardinality $|S|$.)
Currently I'm saying maybe it's a result for nonatomic Borel probability measures on a compact metric space. That eliminates the two counterexamples above; the closest I've got to a proof is verifying that another thing I seemed to recall is actually true: Any compact metric space is the continuous image of the Cantor set.
Example 3.6.2 in Bogachev's Measure Theory (Volume 1) says that
To prove this, it suffices to check that for all $t\in [0,1]$, $P_{F_X\circ X}([0,t])=t$.
Indeed $P_{F_X\circ X}([0,t])=P_X(\{x, F_X(x)\leq t\})=P_X(\{x, x\leq F_X^{-1}(t)\})=F_X(F_X^{-1}(t)) = t$
where $F_X^{-1}(t)=\sup\{x, F_X(t)\leq t\}$.
Chapter $9$ of the second volume is entirely dedicated to transformations of measures and isomorphisms.
