A category theoretical background for homomorphism theorems
A characterization of quasivarieties of partial algebras by means of limits and products.
A clone-theoretic formulation of the Erdos-Faber-Lovász conjecture
The Erdős-Faber-Lovász conjecture states that if a graph G is the union of n cliques of size n no two of which share more than one vertex, then χ(G) = n. We provide a formulation of this conjecture in terms of maximal partial clones of partial operations on a set.
A concept of variety for regular biordered sets.
A contribution to the theory of decompositions of partial algebras
A first-order logic for multi-algebras.
A note on categories of partial algebras
Active sums I.
Given a generating family F of subgroups of a group G closed under conjugation and with partial order compatible with inclusion, a new group S can be constructed, taking into account the multiplication in the subgroups and their mutual actions given by conjugation. The group S is called the active sum of F, has G as a homomorph and is such that S/Z(S) ≅ G/Z(G) where Z denotes the center.The basic question we investigate in this paper is: when is the active sum S of the family F isomorphic to the...
Adjointness between theories and strict theories
The categorical concept of a theory for algebras of a given type was foundet by Lawvere in 1963 (see [8]). Hoehnke extended this concept to partial heterogenous algebras in 1976 (see [5]). A partial theory is a dhts-category such that the object class forms a free algebra of type (2,0,0) freely generated by a nonempty set J in the variety determined by the identities ox ≈ o and xo ≈ o, where o and i are the elements selected by the 0-ary operation symbols. If the object class of a dhts-category...
Almost orthogonality and Hausdorff interval topologies of atomic lattice effect algebras
We prove that the interval topology of an Archimedean atomic lattice effect algebra is Hausdorff whenever the set of all atoms of is almost orthogonal. In such a case is order continuous. If moreover is complete then order convergence of nets of elements of is topological and hence it coincides with convergence in the order topology and this topology is compact Hausdorff compatible with a uniformity induced by a separating function family on corresponding to compact and cocompact elements....
An algorithm for free algebras
We present an algorithm for constructing the free algebra over a given finite partial algebra in the variety determined by a finite list of equations. The algorithm succeeds whenever the desired free algebra is finite.
