Directoids with an antitone involution

Ivan Chajda, Miroslav Kolařík (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We investigate -directoids which are bounded and equipped by a unary operation which is an antitone involution. Hence, a new operation can be introduced via De Morgan laws. Basic properties of these algebras are established. On every such an algebra a ring-like structure can be derived whose axioms are similar to that of a generalized boolean quasiring. We introduce a concept of symmetrical difference and prove its basic properties. Finally, we study conditions of direct decomposability...

Cellularity of free products of Boolean algebras (or topologies)

The aim this paper is to present an answer to Problem 1 of Monk [10], [11]. We do this by proving in particular that if μ is a strong limit singular cardinal, θ = ( 2 c f ( μ ) ) + and 2 μ = μ + then there are Boolean algebras 𝔹 1 , 𝔹 2 such that c ( 𝔹 1 ) = μ , c ( 𝔹 2 ) < θ b u t c ( 𝔹 1 * 𝔹 2 ) = μ + . Further we improve this result, deal with the method and the necessity of the assumptions. In particular we prove that if 𝔹 is a ccc Boolean algebra and μ ω λ = c f ( λ ) 2 μ then 𝔹 satisfies the λ-Knaster condition (using the “revised GCH theorem”).
