Does there exist a multi-valued "monotone" and "compact" map from a Boolean algebra to the "free" part of $\mathcal{P}(\kappa)$?

This is a follow-up to my previous question, which has a negative answer. Here is the most general version that I'm interested: Does there exist a Boolean algebra $A$, an infinite cardinal $\kappa$, ...

Does there exist a section of $\mathcal{P}(\kappa)\to\mathcal{P}(\kappa)/(\text{fin})$ that is "nearly Boolean"?

The following might be a somewhat esoteric question: Does there exist an infinite cardinal $\kappa$ and a section $f$ of the quotient map $\pi:\mathcal{P}(\kappa)\to\mathcal{P}(\kappa)/(\text{fin})$ (...

Co-boundary crossed homomorphism & "sign" preserving. Why 2-valued components is special?

Suppose $h_{g}: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^{n-1}$ be a coboundary crossed homomorphism with action $g$ as a cyclic permutation of coordinates on $\mathbb{R}^n$ vectors. So, the acting group is a ...

Is the interval topology on ${\cal P}(\omega)/(\text{fin})$ connected?

If $(P,\leq)$ is a poset and $x\in X$, we let $\downarrow x = \{p\in P: p \leq x\}$, and $\uparrow x$ is defined dually. The collection $$\Big\{P\setminus (\downarrow x): x\in P\Big\} \cup \Big\{P\...

Order-convergence and interval topology on ${\cal P}(\omega)/(\text{fin})$

On any poset $(P, \leq)$ we can consider two different topologies that arise directly from the ordering relation. 1) Order convergence topolog $\tau_o(P)$ : By a set filter $\mathcal{F}$ on $P$ we ...

Preimage of a sublocale by a morphism of locales: description by nucleus?

For completeness of MathOverflow, and to avoid any possible misunderstanding, let me recall the following terminology and facts, which should be standard (experts skip the following 2–3 paragraphs ...

What's the deal with De Morgan algebras and Kleene algebras?

The notion of Boolean algebras, and the corresponding classical propositional logic, is very standard, and it is easy to find information about them (for example, among many other such works, there is ...

Why is there in theory no morphism/isogenies when enlarging a prime field sharing a common suborder/subgroup? [closed]

Simple question : I have a prime field having modulus $p$ where $p−1$ contains $O$ as prime factor, and I have a larger prime field $q$ also having $O$ as its suborder/subgroup. Why are there no ...
