Forbidden forests in Priestley spaces
Almost Distributive Lattices (ADL) are structures defined by Swamy and Rao [14] as a common abstraction of some generalizations of the Boolean algebra. In our paper, we deal with a certain further generalization of ADLs, namely the Generalized Almost Distributive Lattices (GADL). Our main aim was to give the formal counterpart of this structure and we succeeded formalizing all items from the Section 3 of Rao et al.’s paper [13]. Essentially among GADLs we can find structures which are neither V-commutative...
Does there exist an atomic Archimedean lattice effect algebra with non-atomic subalgebra of sharp elements? An affirmative answer to this question is given.
“The kernel functor” from the category of archimedean lattice-ordered groups with distinguished weak unit onto LFrm, of Lindelöf completely regular frames, preserves and reflects monics. In , monics are one-to-one, but not necessarily so in LFrm. An embedding for which is one-to-one is termed kernel-injective, or KI; these are the topic of this paper. The situation is contrasted with kernel-surjective and -preserving (KS and KP). The -objects every embedding of which is KI are characterized;...
We prove that there is a distributive (∨,0,1)-semilattice of size ℵ₂ such that there is no weakly distributive (∨,0)-homomorphism from to with 1 in its range, for any algebra A with either a congruence-compatible structure of a (∨,1)-semi-lattice or a congruence-compatible structure of a lattice. In particular, is not isomorphic to the (∨,0)-semilattice of compact congruences of any lattice. This improves Wehrung’s solution of Dilworth’s Congruence Lattice Problem, by giving the best cardinality...
Some functional representation theorems for monadic -valued Łukasiewicz algebras (qLk-algebras, for short) are given. Bearing in mind some of the results established by G. Georgescu and C. Vraciu (Algebre Boole monadice si algebre Łukasiewicz monadice, Studii Cercet. Mat. 23 (1971), 1027–1048) and P. Halmos (Algebraic Logic, Chelsea, New York, 1962), two functional representation theorems for qLk-algebras are obtained. Besides, rich qLk-algebras are introduced and characterized. In addition,...
In this paper, we introduce the notion of fuzzy n-fold integral filter in BL-algebras and we state and prove several properties of fuzzy n-fold integral filters. Using a level subset of a fuzzy set in a BL-algebra, we give a characterization of fuzzy n-fold integral filters. Also, we prove that the homomorphic image and preimage of fuzzy n-fold integral filters are also fuzzy n-fold integral filters. Finally, we study the relationship among fuzzy n-fold obstinate filters, fuzzy n-fold integral filters...
We present an algebraic treatment of the correspondence of gaps and dualities in partial ordered classes induced by the morphism structures of certain categories which we call Heyting (such are for instance all cartesian closed categories, but there are other important examples). This allows to extend the results of [14] to a wide range of more general structures. Also, we introduce a notion of combined dualities and discuss the relation of their structure to that of the plain ones.
We deal with unbounded dually residuated lattices that generalize pseudo -algebras in such a way that every principal order-ideal is a pseudo -algebra. We describe the connections of these generalized pseudo -algebras to generalized pseudo effect algebras, which allows us to represent every generalized pseudo -algebra by means of the positive cone of a suitable -group . We prove that the lattice of all (normal) ideals of and the lattice of all (normal) convex -subgroups of are isomorphic....
We study unbounded versions of effect algebras. We show a necessary and sufficient condition, when lattice operations of a such generalized effect algebra are inherited under its embeding as a proper ideal with a special property and closed under the effect sum into an effect algebra. Further we introduce conditions for a generalized homogeneous, prelattice or MV-effect effect algebras. We prove that every prelattice generalized effect algebra is a union of generalized MV-effect algebras and...
