Abstract: A Boolean algebra $A$ equipped with a (finitely-additive) positive probability measure $m$ can be turned into a metric space $(A,d_m)$, where $d_m(a,b)=m((awedgeegb)vee(egawedgeb))$, for any $a,binA$, sometimes referred to as emph{metric Boolean algebra}. In this paper, we study under which conditions the space of atoms of a finite metric Boolean algebra can be isometrically embedded in $mathbb{R}^N$ (for a certain $N$) equipped with the Euclidean metric. In particular, we characterize the topology of the positive measures over a finite algebra $A$ such that the metric space $(mathsfAt(A),d_m)$ embeds isometrically in $mathbb{R}^N$.
