On the injectivity of Boolean algebras

The functor taking global elements of Boolean algebras in the topos 𝐒𝐡 𝔅 of sheaves on a complete Boolean algebra 𝔅 is shown to preserve and reflect injectivity as well as completeness. This is then used to derive a result of Bell on the Boolean Ultrafilter Theorem in 𝔅 -valued set theory and to prove that (i) the category of complete Boolean algebras and complete homomorphisms has no non-trivial injectives, and (ii) the category of frames has no absolute retracts.
