Products of Boolean algebras and probability measures thereon

These are really two questions, but the second presupposes the first. First, let $( B_i )_{i\in I}$ be an arbitrary family of Boolean algebras. I want to directly form a product …

Why the preimage rather than image in Stone-type dualities.

I am seeking a deeper understanding of the representation of set-based objects in terms of Boolean algebras. Let $\wp(A)$ be the set of subsets of a set $A$. A relation $R \subset …

distributive sublattices of atomistic ortholattices

Let $L$ be an atomistic ortholattice (i.e. every element can be written as a join of atoms) with top and bottom elements 0 and 1, and let $M$ be a distributive atomic sub-ortholat …

What can we infer about the size of a complete Boolen algebra, given it is $\kappa$-c.c.?

More specifically, if we only know that a complete Boolean algebra, $\mathbf{B}$, is $\kappa$-c.c., can we give a (reasonably tight) upper bound to the size of $\mathbf{B}$ in term …

Suslin algebras

A Suslin algebra is a generalization of a Suslin tree: it is a ccc, $(\omega,\infty)$-distributive boolean algebra. Jech proved that every Suslin algebra has size at most $2^{\ome …

On intermediate transitive models for ZFC between M an M[G]

Let $P$ be a forcing notion. Let $B(P)$ be the boolean completion of $P$ and $i : P \rightarrow B(P)$ be the corresponding dense embedding (in $B(P)^{+}$). Let $G$ be $B(P)$-generi …
