The paper investigates idempotent, reductive, and distributive groupoids, and more generally -algebras of any type including the structure of such groupoids as reducts. In particular, any such algebra can be built up from algebras with a left zero groupoid operation. It is also shown that any two varieties of left -step reductive -algebras, and of right -step reductive -algebras, are independent for any positive integers and . This gives a structural description of algebras in the join of...
A mode (idempotent and entropic algebra) is a Lallement sum of its cancellative submodes over a normal band if it has a congruence with a normal band quotient and cancellative congruence classes. We show that such a sum embeds as a subreduct into a semimodule over a certain ring, and discuss some consequences of this fact. The result generalizes a similar earlier result of the authors proved in the case when the normal band is a semilattice.
Irregular (quasi)varieties of groupoids are (quasi)varieties that do not contain semilattices. The regularization of a (strongly) irregular variety of groupoids is the smallest variety containing and the variety of semilattices. Its quasiregularization is the smallest quasivariety containing and . In an earlier paper the authors described the lattice of quasivarieties of cancellative commutative binary modes, i.e. idempotent commutative and entropic (or medial) groupoids. They are all irregular...
Let be a subfield of the field of real numbers. Equipped with the binary arithmetic mean operation, each convex subset of becomes a commutative binary mode, also called idempotent commutative medial (or entropic) groupoid. Let and be convex subsets of . Assume that they are of the same dimension and at least one of them is bounded, or is the field of all rational numbers. We prove that the corresponding idempotent commutative medial groupoids are isomorphic iff the affine space ...
The paper establishes a duality between a category of free subreducts of affine spaces and a corresponding category of generalized hypercubes with constants. This duality yields many others, in particular a duality between the category of (finitely generated) free barycentric algebras (simplices of real affine spaces) and a corresponding category of hypercubes with constants.
