Boolean Spaces Machine

Murray Bell

Murray Bell created a web-based form and database for Boolean spaces. A Boolean space is a compact, Hausdorff space which has a basis consisting of clopen sets, and this database is restriced to non-metrizable spaces. With the form, you can choose among many properties (e.g., dyadic, Eberlein compact, rigid, separable, radial, basically disconnected, crowded, ...) and the form will show the examples of Boolean spaces from the database that have these properties. You can also select among structures of properties (e.g., closed hereditary, preserved by continuous images, productive, summable, closed extendible, preimaging, projectable, ...) and the form will show examples of properties satisfying these properties. So, the form can be used to recall quickly counterexamples satisfying specified properties.

Murray Bell died in December 2001. The software and database for his Boolean Spaces Machine are maintained at Topology Atlas and are available to interested researchers.
