Proposition 4.4.2.label Let $X$ be a set and $\cali{E}\suf 2^{X}$ be an elementary family and

\begin{align*}\cali{A}=\curl{\dcups{n}{i=1}E_i:\curl{E_i}_1^n\suf\cali{E}\text{ pairwise disjoint},n\in\N^+}\end{align*}

then $\cali{A}$ is a ring. If $X\in\cali{E}$ then $\cali{A}$ is an algebra.

Proof. Let $A,B\in\cali{A}$ then $A=\dcups{n}{i=1}A_{i},B=\dcups{m}{i=1}B_{i}$ for some $\curl{A_i}_{1}^{n},\curl{B_i}_{1}^{m}\suf\cali{E}$. If $A\cap B=\emp$, then

\begin{align*}A\sqcup B=\dcups{n}{i=1}A_{i}\sqcup\dcups{m}{i=1}B_{i}\in\cali{A}\end{align*}

so $\cali{A}$ is closed under disjoint unions.
(A1): By (P1) and (E1) there exists $\curl{E_i}_{1}^{n}\suf\cali{E}$ such that $X=\emp^{c}=\dcups{n}{i=1}E_{i}\in\cali{A}$
(A2’): Let $A=\dcups{n}{i=1}A_{i},B=\dcups{m}{i=1}B_{i}\in\cali{A}$ with $A\suf B$ then

\begin{align*}B\del A=\parens{\dcups{m}{i=1}B_i}\cap \parens{\caps{n}{j=1}A_j^c}=\dcups{m}{i=1}\parens{B_i\cap\caps{n}{j=1}A_j^c}=\dcups{m}{i=1}\caps{n}{j=1}B_{i}\del A_{j}\end{align*}

By (E) and (P2) $\caps{n}{j=1}B_{i}\del A_{j}$ is a finite disjoint union of elements of $\cali{E}$ hence $B\del A\in\cali{A}$.
(A3): Let $A=\dcups{n}{j=1}A_{j},B=\dcups{m}{i=1}B_{i}\in\cali{A}$ then

\begin{align*}A\cap B=\braks{\dcups{n}{j=1}A_j}\cap\braks{\dcups{m}{i=1}B_i}=\dcups{n}{j=1}\dcups{m}{i=1}A_{j}\cap B_{i}\in\cali{A}\end{align*}

so $\cali{A}$ is closed under intersections. Thus by (A2’)

\begin{align*}A\del B=A\del (B\cap A),B\del A=B\del (A\cap B)\in\cali{A}\end{align*}

and hence

\begin{align*}A\cup B=(A\del B)\sqcup (B\del A)\sqcup (A\cap B)\in\cali{A}\end{align*}

$\square$
