Abstract
This book is concerned with the theory of certain natural functions k which assign to each infinite Boolean algebra A a cardinal number k(A) or a set k(A) of cardinal numbers. The purpose of the book is to survey this area of the theory of BAs, giving proofs for a large number of results, some of which are new, mentioning most of the known results, and formulating open problems.
