We are in particular interested in the situation when $\\mathbb{B}$ is a measure algebra as in this case we obtain a natural tool for studying topological convergence properties of sequences of ultrafilters on $\\mathbb{A}$ in random extensions of the set-theoretical universe. This appears to have strong connections with Dow and Fremlin's result stating that there are Efimov spaces in the random model. We also investigate relations between topologies on $\\mathcal{H}(\\mathbb{A},\\mathbb{B})$ for a Boolean algebra $\\mathbb{B}$ carrying a strictly positive measure and convergence properties of sequences of measures on $\\mathbb{A}$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-01-02T20:42:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "measure algebra", "efimov problem", "boolean algebra", "study convergence properties", "boolean homomorphisms" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
