Abstract

A Boolean algebra B is called faithful, if for every direct summand B1 of B: if B1 is rigid, (that is, it does not have any automorphisms other than the identity), then there is B2 such that B≅B1×B1×B1×B2. Let B be a complete Boolean algebra, then B can be uniquely represented as B≅BR×BD×BD×BF, where BR, BD, BF are pairwise totally different, (that is, no two of them have non-zero isomorphic direct summands), BR, BD are rigid and BF is faithful. Aut(B) denotes the automorphism group of B.
