Heidorf, L., Moderate families in Boolean algebras, Annals of Pure and Applied Logic 57 217–250. A subset F of a Boolean algebra B will be called moderate if no element of B splits infinitely many elements of F . Disjoint moderate sets occur in connection with a product construction that is systematically studied in this paper. In contrast to the usual full direct product, these so-called moderate products preserve many properties of their factors. This can be used, for example, to (...) construct big retractive Boolean algebras that are not embeddable into interval algebras. The paper is also concerned with those Boolean algebras whose ideals are generated by moderate sets. The results may be summarized by saying that in many respects these algebras behave like countable ones. (shrink)

Priestley duality can be used to study subalgebras of Heyting algebras and related structures. The dual concept is that of congruence on the dual space and the congruence lattice of a Heyting space is dually isomorphic to the subalgebra lattice of the dual algebra. In this paper we continue our investigation of the congruence lattice of a Heyting space that was undertaken in [10], [8] and [12]. Our main result is a characterization of the modularity of this lattice (Theorem 2.12). (...) Partial results about its complementedness are also given, and among other things a characterization of those finite Heyting algebras with a complemented subalgebra lattice (Theorem 3.5). (shrink)
