The notion of numerical characterization of Boolean algebras and coproducts are used to define information systems and to develop the theory of such systems.

Satisfactory Theory

Stone lattices were (named and) first studied in 1957 (5). Since then, a great number of papers have been written on Stone lattices and a very satisfactory theory evolved. Despite the fact that all chains with 0, 1 as well as all Boolean algebras are Stone lattices, it turns out that many of the nice theorems on Boolean algebras have analogues, in fact, generalizations for Stone lattices. To give just two examples: the characterization of Boolean algebras in terms of prime ideals (Nachbin (6)) is generalized in (5) (see also (9)); Stone's representation theory (8) is generalized in (4); see also (2).

Baer Rings

The rings of this paper are assumed to have relations of orthogonality defined on them. Such relations are uniquely determined by complete boolean algebras of ideals. Using the Stone space of these boolean algebras, and following J. Dauns and K.H. Hofmann, a sheaf-theoretic representation is obtained for rings with orthogonality relations, and the rings of global sections of these sheaves are characterized. Baer rings, f–rings and commutative semi-prime rings have natural orthogonality relations and among these the Baer rings are isomorphic to their associated rings of global sections. A special type of ideal is singled out in commutative semi-prime rings and following G. Spirason and E. Strzelecki, in an unpublished note, a characterization of a class of such rings is obtained.

AbstractA Boolean algebra B is said to be openly generated if {A : A ≤rcB, ∣A∣ = ℵ0} includes a club subset of . We show:(V = L). For any cardinal κ there exists an L∞κ-free Boolean algebra which is not openly generated (Proposition 4.1).(MA+(σ-closed)). Every -free Boolean algebra is openly generated (Theorem 4.2).The last assertion follows from a characterization of openly generated Boolean algebras under MA+(σ-closed) (Theorem 3.1). Using this characterization we also prove the independence of problem 7 in Ščepin [15] (Proposition 4.3 and Theorem 4.4).
