چکیده

Von Neumann conjectured that the countable chain condition and the weak (ω, ω)-distributive law characterize measurable algebras among Boolean σalgebras [Mau]. Consistent counter-examples have been obtained by Maharam [Mah], Jensen [J], Glówczyński [Gl], and Veličković [V]. However, whether von Neumann’s proposed characterization of measurable algebras fails within ZFC remains an open problem. In searching for possible counter-examples to von Neumann’s proposed characterization of measurable algebras within ZFC, we investigated three families of complete, c.c.c., non-measurable Boolean algebras, namely, the Argyros, Galvin-Hajnal, and Gaifman algebras, to find out whether these Boolean algebras sustain any weak form of distributivity. By the Cohen algebra we mean the completion of any countable, atomless Boolean algebra. By the κ-Cohen algebra we mean the completion of the free Boolean algebra on κ-many generators. We found the following:

On the weak Freese-Nation property of complete Boolean algebras

The following results are proved: (a) In a model obtained by adding א2 Cohen reals, there is always a c.c.c. complete Boolean algebra without the weak Freese-Nation property. (b) Modulo the consistency strength of a supercompact cardinal, the existence of a c.c.c. complete Boolean algebra without the weak Freese-Nation property is consistent with GCH. (c) If a weak form of 2μ and cof([μ] א0 ,⊆)...

Some Notes concerning the Homogeneity of Boolean Algebras and Boolean Spaces

In this article we consider homogeneity properties of Boolean algebras that have nonprincipal ultrafilters which are countably generated. It is shown that a Boolean algebra B is homogeneous if it is the union of countably generated nonprincipal ultrafilters and has a dense subset D such that for every a ∈ D the relative algebra B 1 a := {b ∈ B : b ≤ a} is isomorphic to B. In particular, the fre...

Dually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras II. Regularity

This paper is the second of a two part series. In this Part, we prove, using the description of simples obtained in Part I, that the variety $mathbf{RDQDStSH_1}$ of regular dually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras of level 1 is the join of the variety generated by the twenty 3-element $mathbf{RDQDStSH_1}$-chains and the variety of dually quasi-De Morgan Boolean semi-Heyting algebras--...

How Special are Cohen and Random Forcings i.e. Boolean Algebras of the family of subsets of reals modulo meagre or null

We prove that any Souslin c.c.c. forcing notion which add a non dominated real add a Cohen real. We also prove that any Souslin c.c.c. forcing add a real which is not on any old narrow tree. The feeling that those two forcing notions -Cohen and Random(equivalently the corresponding Boolean algebras P(R)/(meagre sets), P(R)/(null sets)) are special, was probably old and widespread. A reasonable ...

Stone Algebra Extensions with Bounded Dense Set

Stone algebras have been characterized by Chen and Grätzer in terms of triples (B;D;'), whereD is a distributive lattice with 1; B is a Boolean algebra, and ' is a bounded lattice homomorphism from B into the lattice of …lters of D: If D is bounded, the construction of these characterizing triples is much simpler, since the homomorphism ' can be replaced by one from B into D itself. The triple ...
