We investigate the sequential topology $τ_{s}$ on a complete Boolean algebra B determined by algebraically convergent sequences in B. We show the role of weak distributivity of B in separation axioms for the sequential topology. The main result is that a necessary and sufficient condition for B to carry a strictly positive Maharam submeasure is that B is ccc and that the space $(B,τ_{s})$ is Hausdorff. We also characterize sequential cardinals.

The Todorcevic ordering 𝕋(X) consists of all finite families of convergent sequences in a given topological space X. Such an ordering was defined for the special case of the real line by S. Todorcevic (1991) as an example of a Borel ordering satisfying ccc that is not σ-finite cc and even need not have the Knaster property. We are interested in properties of 𝕋(X) where the space X is taken as a parameter. Conditions on X are given which ensure the countable chain condition and its stronger versions for 𝕋(X). We study the properties of 𝕋(X) as a forcing notion and the homogeneity of the generated complete Boolean algebra.
