A Boolean algebra homomorphism is equivalent to a function assigning to every an ultrafilter on : test membership of in every image subset. This gives a left adjoint valued in the opposite category of sets. Its unit sends an algebra element to the set of ultrafilters containing . On an infinite power-set algebra this map is not surjective, because the subset consisting of the principal ultrafilters cannot arise this way in the presence of a nonprincipal ultrafilter.
