``Re: Lattices and power sets'' by CWoo on 2006-02-19 14:32:07
Sorry for the sloppiness. First, a, b, c, d are arbitrary real numbers, there are no specific orderings on these numbers. Second, the Boolean subalgebra A I am refering to is the set of all finite unions of those intervals that I mentioned. You can show that A is indeed a Boolean algebra under union and intersection and complementation, etc... Furthermore, it is complete. You can derive that A is atomless by using a proof of contradiction.
