Abstract

top
The paper deals with orthomodular lattices which are so-called horizontal sums of Boolean algebras. It is elementary that every such orthomodular lattice is simple and its blocks are just these Boolean algebras. Hence, the commutativity relation plays a key role and enables us to classify these orthomodular lattices. Moreover, this relation is closely related to the binary commutator which is a term function. Using the class ℋ of horizontal sums of Boolean algebras, we establish an identity which is satisfied in the variety generated by ℋ but not in the variety of all orthomodular lattices. The concept of ternary discriminator can be generalized for the class ℋ in a modified version. Finally, we present several results on varieties generated by finite subsets of finite members of ℋ .

It is elementary that every such orthomodular lattice is simple and its blocks are just these Boolean algebras. Hence, the commutativity relation plays a key role and enables us to classify these orthomodular lattices.

Using the class $\mathcal {H}$ of horizontal sums of Boolean algebras, we establish an identity which is satisfied in the variety generated by $\mathcal {H}$ but not in the variety of all orthomodular lattices. The concept of ternary discriminator can be generalized for the class $\mathcal {H}$ in a modified version. Finally, we present several results on varieties generated by finite subsets of finite members of $\mathcal {H}$.
