We show that there are semi-Cohen Boolean algebras which cannot be completely embedded into Cohen Boolean algebras. Using the ideas from this proof, we give a simpler argument for a theorem of S. Koppelberg and S. Shelah, stating that there…
Quasi-Boolean algebras were introduced as the generalization of Boolean algebras in the setting of quantum computation logic. In this paper, we investigate the completeness and congruences of quasi-Boolean algebras. First, we discuss the…
The feeling that those two forcing notions-Cohen and Random-(equivalently the corresponding Boolean algebras Borel(R)/(meager sets), Borel(R)/(null sets)) are special, was probably old and widespread. A reasonable interpretation is to show…
We introduce quantum Boolean algebras which are the analogue of the Weyl algebras for Boolean affine spaces. We study quantum Boolean algebras from the logical and set theoretical viewpoints.
We characterise piecewise Boolean domains, that is, those domains that arise as Boolean subalgebras of a piecewise Boolean algebra. This leads to equivalent descriptions of the category of piecewise Boolean algebras: either as piecewise…
We give an example of a regular and complete subalgebra of a Cohen algebra which is not Cohen.
The notion of a complete Boolean algebra, although completely legitimate in constructive mathematics, fails to capture some natural structures such as the lattice of subsets of a given set. Sambin's notion of an overlap algebra, although…
These notes present a compact and self-contained approach to iterated forcing with a particular emphasis on semiproper forcing. We tried to make our presentation accessible to any scholar who has some familiarity with forcing and boolean…
We define the notion of a partially additive Kleene algebra, which is a Kleene algebra where the + operation need only be partially defined. These structures formalize a number of examples that cannot be handled directly by Kleene algebras.…
It is shown that there exists a complete, atomless, sigma-centered Boolean algebra, which does not contain any regular countable subalgebra if and only if there exist a nowhere dense ultrafilter. Therefore the existence of such algebras is…
Given a partially ordered set $P$ there exists the most general Boolean algebra $F(P)$ which contains $P$ as a generating set, called the {\it free Boolean algebra} over $P$. We study free Boolean algebras over posets of the form $P=P_0\cup…
We describe right-hand skew Boolean algebras in terms of a class of presheaves of sets over Boolean algebras called Boolean sets, and prove a duality theorem between Boolean sets and etale spaces over Boolean spaces.
Scaled Boolean algebras are a category of mathematical objects that arose from attempts to understand why the conventional rules of probability should hold when probabilities are construed, not as frequencies or proportions or the like, but…
A general notion of a quasi-finite algebra is introduced as an algebra graded by the set of all integers equipped with topologies on the homogeneous subspaces satisfying certain properties. An analogue of the regular bimodule is introduced…
For suitable groups G we will show that one can add a Boolean algebra B by forcing in such a way that Aut(B) is almost isomorphic to G. In particular, we will give a positive answer to the following question due to J.Roitman: Is…
Given a complete Heyting algebra we construct an algebraic tensor triangulated category whose Bousfield lattice is the Booleanization of the given Heyting algebra. As a consequence we deduce that any complete Boolean algebra is the…
We study equations over boolean algebras with distinguished elements. We prove the criteria, when a boolean algebra is equationally Noetherian, weakly equationally Noetherian, $\mathbf{q}_\omega$-compact or $\mathbf{u}_\omega$-compact. Also…
Abstractly, the generic extensions after $\aleph_\omega$-many Cohen reals and $\aleph_{\omega+1}$-many Cohen reals must be different for reasons of uniform density the relevant Boolean algebras. Nevertheless this is not satisfying and it…
We determine all composition-closed equational classes of Boolean functions. These classes provide a natural generalization of clones and iterative algebras: they are closed under composition, permutation and identification…
The oracle c.c.c. is closely related to Cohen forcing. During an iteration we can ``omit a type''; i.e. preserve ``the intersection of a given family of Borel sets of reals is empty'' provided that Cohen forcing satisfies it. We generalize…
