Let B be a complete ccc Boolean algebra and let τ s be the topology on B induced by the algebraic convergence of sequences in B .Either there exists a Maharam submeasure on B or every nonempty open set in ( B , τ s ) is topologically dense. It is consistent that every weakly distributive complete ccc Boolean algebra carries a strictly positive Maharam submeasure. The topological space( B , τ s ) is sequentially compact if and only if the generic extension by B does not add independent reals.Examples are also given of ccc forcings adding a real but not independent reals. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 28A60, 06E10 (primary); 03E55, 54A20, 54A25 (secondary).
