In addition, a K-space with base $B$ is locally one-dimensional if and only if $R^{\land}=R$ in $V^{(B)}$. It seems to have been unknown so far whether there exist nondiscrete locally one-dimensional K-spaces. In the present note we give a positive answer to the question. As an auxiliary result, we establish that a K-space is locally one-dimensional if and only if its base is $\sigma$-distributive.", keywords = "locally one-dimensional K-space, discrete K-space, $\sigma$-distributive Boolean algebra, $\sigma$-inductive Boolean algebra, atomic Boolean algebra, regular operator, real numbers in a Boolean-valued universe" }
