Abstract |
|
A method of construction via forcing is developed which allows great freedom in the interplay among the number of atoms, number of automorphisms, size of the algebra, and such objects of settheoretic interest as c. As by-products we have Theorem 1. The following is consistent: there is a 0-dimensional Hausdorff space with fewer than c autohomeomorphisms, at least one of which moves a nonisolated point. Theorem 2. The following is consistent: there is an infinite Boolean algebra with more automorphisms than elements, the number of whose automorphisms is not a power of 2. |
