We introduce a concept of implication groupoid which is an essential generalization of the implication reduct of intuitionistic logic, i.e. a Hilbert algebra. We prove several connections among ideals, deductive systems and congruence kernels which even coincide whenever our implication groupoid is distributive.
In a recent paper (Diversity in Monoids, Czech. Math. J. 62 (2012), 795–809), the last two authors introduced and developed the monoid invariant “diversity” and related properties “homogeneity” and “strong homogeneity”. We investigate these properties within the context of inside factorial monoids, in which the diversity of an element counts the number of its different almost primary components. Inside factorial monoids are characterized via diversity and strong homogeneity. A new invariant complementary...
Let be a (commutative cancellative) monoid. A nonunit element is called almost primary if for all , implies that there exists such that or . We introduce a new monoid invariant, diversity, which generalizes this almost primary property. This invariant is developed and contextualized with other monoid invariants. It naturally leads to two additional properties (homogeneity and strong homogeneity) that measure how far an almost primary element is from being primary. Finally, as an application...
We study solvability of equations of the form in the groups of order automorphisms of archimedean-complete totally ordered groups of rank 2. We determine exactly which automorphisms of the unique abelian such group have square roots, and we describe all automorphisms of the general ones.
This note contains Sylow's theorem, Lagrange's theorem and Hall's theorem for finite Bruck loops. Moreover, we explore the subloop structure of finite Bruck loops.
