Automorphismen auf Produkten Boolescher Algebren. (Automorphisms on products of Boolean algebras) (Q1093659)

The first two sections of this paper deal with the Boolean product \(X=\prod_{t\in T}X_ t\) of Boolean algebras as defined by Sikorski. An infinite complete Boolean algebra cannot be a Boolean product of infinite Boolean algebras. Given any automorphisms \(\phi_ t\) of \(X_ t\) (t\(\in T)\) there is a unique automorphism \(\phi\) of X which is a common extension of the automorphisms \(\phi_ t\). If the automorphism groups \({\mathfrak A}_ t\subset Aut(X_ t)\) are ergodic (strongly ergodic) then so is their direct product \({\mathfrak A}\subset Aut(X)\). Then the authors argue that another product of Boolean algebras, introduced by the second author [Boolean algebras (Moskva Nauka 1969; Zbl 0216.029)] is more appropriate for the study of Boolean algebras endowed with a measure.
