Boolean algebras with prescribed topological densities

L. Soukup

The topological density $\operatorname{d}(B)$ of a Boolean algebra $B$ is the minimal cardinal ${\mu}$ such that $B\setminus \{0_B\}$ can be covered by ${\mu}$ ultrafilters.

We give a simplified proof of a theorem of M. Rabus and S. Shelah claiming that for each cardinal ${\mu}$ there is a c.c.c Boolean algebra ${\mathcal B}$ with topological density ${\mu}$.
