Abstract
We know by now that not every Boolean algebra is isomorphic to the field of all subsets of some set. In the next section we shall prove that every Boolean algebra is isomorphic to some field of subsets of some set. In order to get a usable description of what kind of fields and what kind of sets are needed, we proceed now to introduce a rather special category of topological spaces.
