Explain one statement about Stone Space

74 Views Asked by At

In this page Stone Space This is no clear for me "The points in S(B) are the ultrafilters on B, or equivalently the homomorphisms from B to the two-element Boolean algebra"

I think I means every ultafilter on B is a homomorphism from B to 2 ?? I will be pleased to see some details about this.

An ultrafilter $U$ in a Boolean algebra $B$ determines a homomorphism $f:B\to2$ that sends all the elements of $U$ to 1 and all the other elements of $B$ to 0. Conversely, a homomorphism $f:B\to2$ determines the ultrafilter $f^{-1}(\{1\})$ in $B$. It is easy to check that these two transformations are inverse to each other.
