About Stone space of one Boolean algebra

Abstract: We consider the Boolean algebra of the same type as algebra constructed by Bell, and the Stone space of this Boolean algebra. This space is a compactification of a countable discrete space $N$. We prove that there are isolated points in a remainder of this compactification, which are limits of some convergent sequences. We prove that a clopen subset of our space, which is homeomorphic to $\beta\omega$, is a closure of the union of finitely many antichains from $N$. We construct two examples: a clopen subset of the remainder without isolated points, which is not homeomorphic to $\beta\omega\setminus\omega$; a subset of the remainder which is homeomorphic to $\beta\omega\setminus\omega$, but is not a clopen.

Keywords: ñompactification, Stone space of Boolean algebra, chain, antichain.
