Abstract

For the algebraic convergence λs\lambda_{\mathrm{s}}, which generates the well known sequential topology τs\tau_s on a complete Boolean algebra B{\mathbb B}, we have λs=λlsλli\lambda_{\mathrm{s}}=\lambda_{\mathrm{ls}}\cap \lambda_{\mathrm{li}}, where the convergences λls\lambda_{\mathrm{ls}} and λli\lambda_{\mathrm{li}} are defined by λls(x)={lim supx} ⁣\lambda_{\mathrm{ls}}(x)=\{ \limsup x\}\!\uparrow and λli(x)={lim infx} ⁣\lambda_{\mathrm{li}}(x)=\{ \liminf x\}\!\downarrow (generalizing the convergence of sequences on the Alexandrov cube and its dual). We consider the minimal topology Olsi\mathcal{O}_{\mathrm{lsi}} extending the (unique) sequential topologies Oλls\mathcal{O}_{\lambda_{\mathrm{ls}}} (left) and Oλli\mathcal{O}_{\lambda_{\mathrm{li}}} (right) generated by the convergences λls\lambda_{\mathrm{ls}} and λli\lambda_{\mathrm{li}} and establish a general hierarchy between all these topologies and the corresponding a priori and a posteriori convergences. In addition, we observe some special classes of algebras and, in particular, show that in (ω,2)(\omega,2)-distributive algebras we have limOlsi=limτs=λs\lim_{{\mathcal O}_{\mathrm{lsi}}}=\lim_{\tau _{\mathrm{s}} }=\lambda _{\mathrm{s}}, while the equality Olsi=τs\mathcal{O}_{\mathrm{lsi}}=\tau_s holds in all Maharam algebras. On the other hand, in some collapsing algebras we have a maximal (possible) diversity.
