Axiomatization of quasigroups

Jonathan D.H. Smith — 2006

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Quasigroups were originally described combinatorially, in terms of existence and uniqueness conditions on the solutions to certain equations. Evans introduced a universal-algebraic characterization, as algebras with three binary operations satisfying four identities. Now, quasigroups are redefined as heterogeneous algebras, satisfying just two conditions respectively known as hypercommutativity and hypercancellativity.

On the characterisation of Mal'tsev and Jónsson-Tarski algebras

Jonathan D.H. Smith — 2003

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

There are very strong parallels between the properties of Mal'tsev and Jónsson-Tarski algebras, for example in the good behaviour of centrality and in the factorization of direct products. Moreover, the two classes between them include the majority of algebras that actually arise 'in nature'. As a contribution to the research programme building a unified theory capable of covering the two classes, along with other instances of good centrality and factorization, the paper presents a common framework...

Duality for some free modes

Krzysztof J. PszczołaAnna B. RomanowskaJonathan D.H. Smith — 2003

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

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.
