A. Tarski proved that the m-generated free algebra of $\mathrm{CA}_{\alpha}$, the class of cylindric algebras of dimension $\alpha$, contains exactly $2^m$ zero-dimensional atoms, when $m\ge 1$ is a finite cardinal and $\alpha$ is an…

It is proved that the existence of a countable extremally disconnected Boolean topological group containing a family of open subgroups whose intersection has empty interior implies the existence of a rapid ultrafilter.

It is well known that there is a correspondence between sets and complete, atomic Boolean algebras (CABA's) taking a set to its power-set and, reciprocally, a complete, atomic Boolean algebra to its set of atomic elements. Of course, such a…

For every uncountable cardinal mu there is a ccc Boolean algebra whose topological density is mu .

We investigate reflection-type problems on the class SPM, of Boolean algebras carrying strictly positive finitely additive measures. We show, in particular, that in the constructible universe there is a Boolean algebra $\mathfrak A$ which…

The structure of quotient Boolean algebras in terms of cardinal invariants is investigated. Some results of Gitik and Shelah regarding atomless ideals are reproved and proofs are significantly simplified.

A Boolean $\sigma$-algebra $B$ is a measure algebra if and only if it is weakly distributive and uniformly concentrated.

This article is devoted to two different generalizations of projective Boolean algebras: openly generated Boolean algebras and tightly sigma-filtered Boolean algebras. We show that for every uncountable regular cardinal kappa there are…

Boolean locales are "almost discrete", in the sense that a spatial Boolean locale is just a discrete locale (that is, it corresponds to the frame of open subsets of a discrete space, namely the powerset of a set). This basic fact, however,…

We introduce the notion of a coherent $P$-ultrafilter on a complete ccc Boolean algebra, strenghtening the notion of a $P$-point on $\omega$, and show that these ultrafilters exist generically under ${\mathfrak c} = {\mathfrak d}$. This…

We prove that for any superatomic Boolean Algebra of cardinality >beth_omega there is an automorphism moving uncountably many atoms. Similarly for larger cardinals. Any of those results are essentially best possible.

We investigate sigma-entangled linear orders and narrowness of Boolean algebras. We show existence of sigma-entangled linear orders in many cardinals, and we build Boolean algebras with neither large chains nor large pies. We study the…

For every regular cardinal kappa there exists a simple complete Boolean algebra with kappa generators.

We show the consistency of ZFC +''there is no NWD-ultrafilter on omega'', which means: for every non principle ultrafilter D on the set of natural numbers, there is a function f from the set of natural numbers to the reals, such that for…

For any composant $E \subset \mathbb H^*$ and corresponding near-coherence class $\mathscr E \subset \omega^*$ we prove the following are equivalent : (1) $E$ properly contains a dense semicontinuum. (2) Each countable subset of $E$ is…

In this paper we classify some special reducts of the countable atomless Boolean algebra which we call functional reducts. We prove that there are exactly $13$ such structures up to first order interdefinability.

We show that for a $\sigma $-ideal $\ci$ with a Borel base of subsets of an uncountable Polish space, if $\ca$ is (in several senses) a "regular" family of subsets from $\ci $ then there is a subfamily of $\ca$ whose union is completely…

A Boolean algebra carries a strictly positive exhaustive submeasure if and only if it has a sequential topology that is uniformly Frechet.

We discuss the existence of (injectively) universal C*-algebras and prove that all C*-algebras of density character $\aleph_1$ embed into the Calkin algebra, $Q(H)$. Together with other results, this shows that each of the following…

The Umehara algebra is studied with motivation on the problem of the non-existence of common complex submanifolds. In this paper, we prove some new results in Umehara algebra and obtain some applications. In particular, if a complex…
