Abstract

Given a Boolean algebra ${\mathbb B}$ and an embedding $e:{\mathbb B}\to {\cal P} ({\mathbb N})/{\rm fin}$ we consider the possibility of extending each or some automorphism of ${\mathbb B}$ to the whole $ {\cal P}({\mathbb N})/{\rm fin}$. Among other things, we show, assuming ${\rm CH}$, that for a wide class of Boolean algebras there are embeddings for which no non-trivial automorphism can be extended.
