In [1], C. C. Chen and G. Grâtzer developed a method for studying Stone algebras by associating with each Stone algebra L, a uniquely determined triple (C(L), D(L), ɸ (L)), consisting of a Boolean algebra C(L), a distributive lattice D(L), and a connecting map ɸ(L). This approach has been successfully exploited by various investigators to determine properties of Stone algebras (e.g. H. Lakser [9] characterized the injective hulls of Stone algebras by means of this technique). The present paper is a continuation of this program.
