Abstract

We give an affirmative answer to problem DJ from Fremlin's list [8] which asks whether $MA_{ω_1}$ implies that every uncountable Boolean algebra has an uncountable set of pairwise incomparable elements.

Keywords:
Mathematics Stone's representation theorem for Boolean algebras Pure mathematics Combinatorics Discrete mathematics Algebra over a field Two-element Boolean algebra Algebra representation
