Conditions for factorable relations
Brouwerian semilattices are meet-semilattices with 1 in which every element a has a relative pseudocomplement with respect to every element b, i. e. a greatest element c with a∧c ≤ b. Properties of classes of reflexive and compatible binary relations, especially of congruences of such algebras are described and an abstract characterization of congruence classes via ideals is obtained.
We say that a variety of algebras has the Compact Intersection Property (CIP), if the family of compact congruences of every is closed under intersection. We investigate the congruence lattices of algebras in locally finite, congruence-distributive CIP varieties and obtain a complete characterization for several types of such varieties. It turns out that our description only depends on subdirectly irreducible algebras in and embeddings between them. We believe that the strategy used here can...
An M-Set is a unary algebra whose set of operations is a monoid of transformations of ; is a G-Set if is a group. A lattice is said to be represented by an M-Set if the congruence lattice of is isomorphic to . Given an algebraic lattice , an invariant is introduced here. provides substantial information about properties common to all representations of by intransitive G-Sets. is a sublattice of (possibly isomorphic to the trivial lattice), a -product lattice. A -product...
We give Mal’cev conditions for varieties 4V4 whose congruences on the product , are determined by their restrictions on the axes in .
Using congruence schemes we formulate new characterizations of congruence distributive, arithmetical and majority algebras. We prove new properties of the tolerance lattice and of the lattice of compatible reflexive relations of a majority algebra and generalize earlier results of H.-J. Bandelt, G. Cz'{e}dli and the present authors. Algebras whose congruence lattices satisfy certain 0-conditions are also studied.
We present a countable infinite chain of conditions which are essentially weaker then congruence modularity (with exception of first two). For varieties of algebras, the third of these conditions, the so called 4-submodularity, is equivalent to congruence modularity. This is not true for single algebras in general. These conditions are characterized by Maltsev type conditions.
The topic of the paper are -algebras, where is a complete lattice. In this research we deal with congruences and homomorphisms. An -algebra is a classical algebra which is not assumed to satisfy particular identities and it is equipped with an -valued equality instead of the ordinary one. Identities are satisfied as lattice theoretic formulas. We introduce -valued congruences, corresponding quotient -algebras and -homomorphisms and we investigate connections among these notions. We prove...
Effect basic algebras (which correspond to lattice ordered effect algebras) are studied. Their ideals are characterized (in the language of basic algebras) and one-to-one correspondence between ideals and congruences is shown. Conditions under which the quotients are OMLs or MV-algebras are found.
A ternary ring is an algebraic structure of type satisfying the identities and where, moreover, for any , , there exists a unique with . A congruence on is called normal if is a ternary ring again. We describe basic properties of the lattice of all normal congruences on and establish connections between ideals (introduced earlier by the third author) and congruence kernels.
In [1] ideals and congruences on semiloops were investigated. The aim of this paper is to generalize results obtained for semiloops to the case of left divisible involutory groupoids.
