Sheaf constructions in universal algebra and model theory
Let be the free monoid over a finite alphabet . We prove that a congruence of generated by a finite number of pairs , where and , is always decidable.
In any recursive algebraic language, I find an interval of the lattice of equational theories, every element of which has finitely many covers. With every finite set of equations of this language, an equational theory of this interval is associated, which is decidable with decidable covers that can be algorithmically found. If the language is finite, both this theory and its covers are finitely based. Also, for every finite language and for every natural number n, I construct a finitely based decidable...
Graph algebras establish a connection between directed graphs without multiple edges and special universal algebras of type (2,0). We say that a graph G satisfies a term equation s ≈ t if the corresponding graph algebra satisfies s ≈ t. A class of graph algebras V is called a graph variety if where Σ is a subset of T(X) × T(X). A graph variety is called a biregular leftmost graph variety if Σ’ is a set of biregular leftmost term equations. A term equation s ≈ t is called an identity in a variety...
