Stone: the theory of representations for Boolean algebras

What changed

Established set-representation methods for Boolean algebras via ideal-based constructions.

Scientific scope

The record is Stone's sole-author 1936 Transactions of the American Mathematical Society paper. It retains the paper's algebraic hypotheses and does not absorb later formulations of Stone duality, categorical generalizations or all precursor Boolean algebra.
