The distributivity numbers of finite products of P(ω)/fin

Saharon Shelah, Otmar Spinas (1998)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Generalizing [ShSp], for every n < ω we construct a ZFC-model where ℌ(n), the distributivity number of r.o. ( P ( ω ) / f i n ) n , is greater than ℌ(n+1). This answers an old problem of Balcar, Pelant and Simon (see [BaPeSi]). We also show that both Laver and Miller forcings collapse the continuum to ℌ(n) for every n < ω, hence by the first result, consistently they collapse it below ℌ(n).

The elementary-equivalence classes of clopen algebras of P-spaces

Brian Wynne (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Two Boolean algebras are elementarily equivalent if and only if they satisfy the same first-order statements in the language of Boolean algebras. We prove that every Boolean algebra is elementarily equivalent to the algebra of clopen subsets of a normal P-space.

The lattice of subvarieties of the biregularization of the variety of Boolean algebras

Jerzy Płonka (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Let τ: F → N be a type of algebras, where F is a set of fundamental operation symbols and N is the set of all positive integers. An identity φ ≈ ψ is called biregular if it has the same variables in each of it sides and it has the same fundamental operation symbols in each of it sides. For a variety V of type τ we denote by V b the biregularization of V, i.e. the variety of type τ defined by all biregular identities from Id(V). Let B be the variety of Boolean algebras of type τ b : + , · , ´ N , where τ b ( + ) = τ b ( · ) = 2 and τ b ( ´ ) = 1 . In...
