On automorphism groups of cyclically ordered sets.
The structure of automorphisms of planar lattices is analyzed.
We prove that, under CH, for each Boolean algebra A of cardinality at most the continuum there is an embedding of A into P(ω)/fin such that each automorphism of A can be extended to an automorphism of P(ω)/fin. We also describe a model of ZFC + MA(σ-linked) in which the continuum is arbitrarily large and the above assertion holds true.
The structure of binary coproducts in the category of frames is analyzed, and the results are then applied widely in the study of compactness, local compactness (continuous frames), separatedness, pushouts and closed frame homomorphisms.
An abstract form of modus ponens in a Boolean algebra was suggested in [1]. In this paper we use the general theory of Boolean equations (see e.g. [2]) to obtain a further generalization. For a similar research on Boolean deduction theorems see [3].
(i) The statement P(ω) = “every partition of ℝ has size ≤ |ℝ|” is equivalent to the proposition R(ω) = “for every subspace Y of the Tychonoff product the restriction |Y = Y ∩ B: B ∈ of the standard clopen base of to Y has size ≤ |(ω)|”. (ii) In ZF, P(ω) does not imply “every partition of (ω) has a choice set”. (iii) Under P(ω) the following two statements are equivalent: (a) For every Boolean algebra of size ≤ |ℝ| every filter can be extended to an ultrafilter. (b) Every Boolean algebra of...
A -group is a sum of a finite number of torsionfree Abelian groups of rank , subject to two independent linear relations. We complete here the study of direct decompositions over two base elements, determining the cases where the relations play an essential role.
