What algebraic identities does the iteration of forcing operation satisfy?
Let $G$ be the set of all formulas $\phi(x)$ in the language of such that $ZFC\vdash\exists x\phi(x)$ exists, $ZFC\vdash\phi(x)\rightarrow``x\,\textrm{is a complete Boolean algebra}"$, $ZFC\vdash``\...

The universal algebra of a $\sigma$-algebra
I am searching for the 'dual' algebraic structure of a $\sigma$-algebra. The notion of duality is like in the case of the Boolean algebra and set algebra.
If $X$ is a set, the complement and ...

Jonsson Boolean algebras?
Let us say that a mathematical structure of cardinality $\omega_1$ is Jonsson whenever every one of its proper substructures is countable.
There are examples of Jonsson groups due to Shelah or ...
