Complete Boolean Algebra - Properties of Complete Boolean Algebras

Properties of Complete Boolean Algebras

  • Sikorski's extension theorem states that

if A is a subalgebra of a Boolean algebra B, then any homomorphism from A to a complete Boolean algebra C can be extended to a morphism from B to C.

  • Every subset of a complete Boolean algebra has a supremum, by definition; it follows that every subset also has an infimum (greatest lower bound).
  • For a complete boolean algebra both infinite distributive laws hold.
  • For a complete boolean algebra infinite de-Morgan's laws hold.

Famous quotes containing the words properties of, properties and/or complete:

    The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    I checked out for the last time
    on the first of May;
    graduate of the mental cases,
    with my analyst’s okay,
    my complete book of rhymes,
    my typewriter and my suitcases.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
