A Boolean algebra is a commutative ring satisfying x²=x for every x, and sometimes required to have a unit; they have characteristic 2. For coding theory (notably dealing with subsets linear subspaces of spaces of Boolean functions), rather use the [coding-theory] or [linear-algebra] tag.

Is Stone-Čech compactification of 0-dimensional space also 0-dimensional?
In this paper (Spaces $N\cup\mathscr{R}$ and their dimensions, Topol. Appl.
11(1) 1980 93-102) — I hope the PDF is freely available) Jun Terasawa constructs maximal almost disjoint families on $\mathb …

A strictly descending chain of subalgebras of $P(\omega)/_{\mathrm{fin}}$
There is a family $\{K_X:X\subseteq\mathfrak{c}\}$ of separable compact
zero-dimensional spaces such that there is a continuous surjection of $K_X$
onto $K_Y$ if and only if $X\subseteq Y$.
These spac …

Can any poset of cardinality $\leq 2^{\aleph_0}$ be embedded in ${\cal P}(\omega)/(\text{fin...
Here is an attempt at a 'definitive summary'.
To begin with positive results: $\mathsf{CH}$ implies a “yes” answer to
this question. The fastest way to see this is to first embed a given partial
order …

A unique ultrafilter extending a union of filters?
The following is due to Alan Dow:
In any model obtained by adding $\aleph_2$ many Cohen reals to a model
of $\mathsf{CH}$ the statement is false.
We force with $\mathbb{P}=\operatorname{Fn}(\omega_2, …

Can the Boolean Algebra of regular open sets be isomorphic to ${\cal P}(\omega)/(\text{fin})$?
No, $\mathrm{RO}(X)$ is complete; $\mathcal{P}(\omega)/\mathit{fin}$ is not (no strictly increasing sequence has a supremum).

A problem of non-emptiness of intersections of certain chains of regular open sets
Here is a provisional negative answer.
If $\mathcal{C}$ is a c-minimal chain then $N=\bigcap\mathcal{C}$ is closed and nowhere dense (if nonempty): if the interior is nonempty take a nonempty regular …

Stone-Čech compactification of a Boolean subalgebra of $\{0,1\}^S$
A partial answer.
for your specific example, the algebra $B$ generated by the rational intervals, the answer is negative. This algebra is countable and dense in $2^\mathbb{R}$. It is countable and ze …

Is there such a thing as the sigma-completion of a Boolean algebra?
This question was answered in topological terms by J. Vermeer in The smallest basically disconnected preimage of a space. Topology Appl. 17 (1984), no. 3, 217–232.
See here for a review and here for t …

Copy of $P(\omega)/\mathrm{fin}$ on $\omega_1$
To expand my comment into an answer: take, for each $n\in\omega$, a uniform ultrafilter $u_n$ on $\omega_1$ that contains the set $\{\lambda+n:\lambda$ is a limit or $0\}$.
The set $U=\{u_n:n\in\omega …

Chain of ideals in a BA
Take te interval algebra, $B$, of the ordinal $\omega_1\times\omega$; for $n\in\omega$ let $I_n$ be the ideal consisting of the elements of $B$ that are bounded below $\omega_1\times n$.

Ideals on $\mathbb N$ and large sets that have small intersection
In topological language: for any closed subset, $F$, of $\beta\mathbb{N}\setminus\mathbb{N}$ the family $I_F=\{A:A^*\cap F=\emptyset\}$ is an ideal.
Your property translates into: the closed set $F$ i …

Can this ultrafilter convergence condition be expressed as a compactness condition?
Your condition amounts to saying that the uniformity $\mathcal{C}$ generated by all clopen partitions is complete: 'partition-prime' is the same as '$\mathcal{C}$-Cauchy'.
It is also implied by the co …

Its completion is the regular-open algebra of the Cantor set, wh …
