Embeddability of the measure algebra
by
Klaas Pieter Hart
TU Delft
Coauthors: Alan Dow

The Open Colouring Axiom implies that the measure algebra cannot be embedded into the clopen algebra of \omega*. The proof follows a familiar pattern: OCA implies that an embedding should be `nice' and ZFC implies that no embedding can be `nice'. Details on what `nice' means will be given during the lecture.
