Abstract

Let B\mathbb{B} be a complete Boolean algebra. We show, as an application of a previous result of the author, that if λ\lambda is an infinite cardinal and B\mathbb{B} is weakly (λω,ω)(\lambda^\omega, \omega)-distributive, then B\mathbb{B} is (λ,2)(\lambda, 2)-distributive. Using a parallel result, we show that if κ\kappa is a weakly compact cardinal such that B\mathbb{B} is weakly (2κ,κ)(2^\kappa, \kappa)-distributive and B\mathbb{B} is (α,2)(\alpha, 2)-distributive for each α<κ\alpha < \kappa, then B\mathbb{B} is (κ,2)(\kappa, 2)-distributive.
