Title: Introduction To Boolean Algebras, part 2
Speaker: Natasha Dobrinen, Penn State University
Time: 2:30 - 3:45 PM.
Location: 312 Boucke Building
Abstract:
This is a continuation of my talk two weeks ago. We will cover
separative partial orderings, their completions, and the theorem that
each Boolean algebra has, up to isomorphism, only one completion. We
will also look more closely at the duality between Boolean algebras
and their Stone spaces, including the theorem that two Boolean
algebras are isomorphic iff their Stone spaces are homeomorphic.
