Definition:Stone Space

Definition
Let $B$ be a Boolean algebra.

The Stone space of $B$ is the topological space:
 * $\map S B = \struct {U, \tau}$

where:
 * $U$ is the set of ultrafilters in $B$
 * $\tau$ is the topology generated by the basis consisting of all sets of the form:
 * $\set {x \in \map S B: b \in x}$
 * for some $b \in B$.
