The essential cover and the absolute cover of a schematic space

Wolfgang Rump, Yi Chuan Yang (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A theorem of Gleason states that every compact space admits a projective cover. More generally, in the category of topological spaces with continuous maps, covers exist with respect to the full subcategory of extremally disconnected spaces. Such a cover of a space is called its absolute. We prove that the absolute exists within the category of schematic spaces, i.e. the spaces underlying a scheme. For a schematic space, we use the absolute to generalize Bourbaki's concept of irreducible component,...

The existence of states on every Archimedean atomic lattice effect algebra with at most five blocks

Zdena Riečanová (2008)

Kybernetika

Effect algebras are very natural logical structures as carriers of probabilities and states. They were introduced for modeling of sets of propositions, properties, questions, or events with fuzziness, uncertainty or unsharpness. Nevertheless, there are effect algebras without any state, and questions about the existence (for non-modular) are still unanswered. We show that every Archimedean atomic lattice effect algebra with at most five blocks (maximal MV-subalgebras) has at least one state, which...

The n m -propositional calculus

Carlos Gallardo, Alicia Ziliani (2015)

Mathematica Bohemica

T. Almada and J. Vaz de Carvalho (2001) stated the problem to investigate if these Łukasiewicz algebras are algebras of some logic system. In this article an affirmative answer is given and the n m -propositional calculus, denoted by n m , is introduced in terms of the binary connectives (implication), (standard implication), (conjunction), (disjunction) and the unary ones f (negation) and D i , 1 i n - 1 (generalized Moisil operators). It is proved that n m belongs to the class of standard systems of implicative...

The prime and maximal spectra and the reticulation of BL-algebras

Laurenťiu Leuštean (2003)

Open Mathematics

In this paper we study the prime and maximal spectra of a BL-algebra, proving that the prime spectrum is a compact T 0 topological space and that the maximal spectrum is a compact Hausdorff topological space. We also define and study the reticulation of a BL-algebra.
