Let B be a Boolean algebra and let ℳ and n be two systems of subsets of B, both containing all finite subsets of B. Let us assume further that the join ∨M of every set M∊ℳ and the meet ∧N of every set N∊n exist. Several authors have treated the question under which conditions there exists an isomorphism φ between B and a field δ of sets, satisfying the conditions:
