Abstract:
Within the frames of the $\Sigma$-definability approach propounded by Yu. L. Ershov, we study into the definability of Boolean algebras and their Frechet ranks in hereditarily finite superstructures. Examples are constructed of a superatomic Boolean algebra whose Frechet rank is not $\Sigma$-definable in the hereditarily finite superstructure over that algebra, and of an admissible set in which the atomless Boolean algebra is not autostable.
