We prove that the boolean algebras of sets definable in elementarily equivalent o-minimal expansions of real closed fields are back-and-forth equivalent, and in particular elementarily equivalent, in the language of boolean algebras with new predicates indicating the dimension, Euler characteristic and open sets. We also show that the boolean algebra of semilinear subsets of [0,1]ⁿ definable in an o-minimal expansion of a real closed field is back-and-forth equivalent to the boolean algebra of definable...
We investigate some natural questions about the class of posets which can be embedded into ⟨ω,≤*⟩. Our main tool is a simple ccc forcing notion which generically embeds a given poset E into ⟨ω,≤*⟩ and does this in a “minimal” way (see Theorems 9.1, 10.1, 6.1 and 9.2).
Given a Boolean algebra 𝔹 and an embedding e:𝔹 → 𝓟(ℕ)/fin we consider the possibility of extending each or some automorphism of 𝔹 to the whole 𝓟(ℕ)/fin. Among other things, we show, assuming CH, that for a wide class of Boolean algebras there are embeddings for which no non-trivial automorphism can be extended.
Continuity of isotone mappings and embeddings of a chain G into another chain are studied. Especially, conditions are found under which the set of points of discontinuity of such a mapping is dense in G.
For a given cardinal number 𝔞, we construct a totally ordered MV-algebra M(𝔞) having the property that every totally ordered MV-algebra of cardinality at most 𝔞 embeds into M(𝔞). In case 𝔞 = ℵ₀, the algebra M(𝔞) is the first known MV-algebra with respect to which the deductive system for the infinitely-valued Łukasiewicz's propositional logic is strongly complete.
