Abstract

A 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).
