Streszczenie
Let B(κ,λ) be the subalgebra of P(κ) generated by $[κ]^{≤λ}$. It is shown that if B is any homomorphic image of B(κ,λ) then either $|B| < 2^λ$ or $|B| = |B|^λ$; moreover, if X is the Stone space of B then either $|X| ≤ 2^{2^λ}$ or $|X| = |B| = |B|^λ$. This implies the existence of 0-dimensional compact $T_2$ spaces whose cardinality and weight spectra omit lots of singular cardinals of "small" cofinality.
