Question: Let W be an abstract set, and let C be an arbitrary nonempty class of subsets of W. Define the class F 1 to consists
F1 = {A Ã W; A ÃŽ C or A = Cc with C ÃŽ C}
= {A à W; A Î C or Ac Î C} = C È {Cc; C Î C}.
So that F1 is closed under complementation.
Next, define the class F2 as follows:
F2 = {all finite intersections of members of F1}
= {A à W; A = A1 Ç €¦. Ç Am, Ai ÃŽ F1, i = 1,€¦, m, m ‰¥ 1}.
Also, define the class F3 by
F3 = {all finite unions of members of F2}
= {A Ã W; A =
Ai with Ai ÃŽ F2, i = 1,€¦, n, n ‰¥ 1}
= {A Ã W; A =
Ai with A1i Ç €¦ Ç Aimi,
A1i, €¦, Aimi ÃŽ F1, , mi ‰¥ 1 integers,
i = 1, €¦, n, n ‰¥ 1}.
Set F3 = F and show that
(i) F is a field.
(ii) F is the field generated by C; i.e., F = F(C).
