On minimal separating Boolean algebras.
We study the minimal prime elements of multiplication lattice module over a -lattice . Moreover, we topologize the spectrum of minimal prime elements of and study several properties of it. The compactness of is characterized in several ways. Also, we investigate the interplay between the topological properties of and algebraic properties of .
We deal with Boolean algebras and their cardinal functions: π-weight π and π-character πχ. We investigate the spectrum of π-weights of subalgebras of a Boolean algebra B. Next we show that the π-character of an ultraproduct of Boolean algebras may be different from the ultraproduct of the π-characters of the factors.
We show that given infinite sets and a function which is onto and -to-one for some , the preimage of any ultrafilter of under extends to an ultrafilter. We prove that the latter result is, in some sense, the best possible by constructing a permutation model with a set of atoms and a finite-to-one onto function such that for each free ultrafilter of its preimage under does not extend to an ultrafilter. In addition, we show that in there exists an ultrafilter compact pseudometric...
In a previous paper, we introduced the notion of Boolean-like algebra as a generalisation of Boolean algebras to an arbitrary similarity type. In a nutshell, a double-pointed algebra with constants is Boolean-like in case for all the congruences and are complementary factor congruences of . We also introduced the weaker notion of semi-Boolean-like algebra, showing that it retained some of the strong algebraic properties characterising Boolean algebras. In this paper, we continue the investigation...
Let be an infinite cardinal. We denote by the collection of all -representable Boolean algebras. Further, let be the collection of all generalized Boolean algebras such that for each , the interval of belongs to . In this paper we prove that is a radical class of generalized Boolean algebras. Further, we investigate some related questions concerning lattice ordered groups and generalized -algebras.
Let B(κ,λ) be the subalgebra of P(κ) generated by . It is shown that if B is any homomorphic image of B(κ,λ) then either or ; moreover, if X is the Stone space of B then either or . This implies the existence of 0-dimensional compact spaces whose cardinality and weight spectra omit lots of singular cardinals of “small” cofinality.
Rasiowa and Sikorski [5] showed that in any Boolean algebra there is an ultrafilter preserving countably many given infima. In [3] we proved an extension of this fact and gave some applications. Here, besides further remarks, we present some of these results in a more general setting.
