Clone compatible identities and clone extensions of algebras
Clone properties are the properties expressible by the first order sentence of the clone language. The present paper is a contribution to the field of problems asking when distinct sentences of the language determine distinct topological properties. We fully clarify the relations among the rigidity, the fix-point property, the image-determining property and the coconnectedness.
We investigate the structure of the lattice of clones on an infinite set X. We first observe that ultrafilters naturally induce clones; this yields a simple proof of Rosenberg’s theorem: there are maximal (= “precomplete”) clones on a set of size λ. The clones we construct do not contain all unary functions. We then investigate clones that do contain all unary functions. Using a strong negative partition theorem from pcf theory we show that for cardinals λ (in particular, for all successors of...
In this paper, the variety of closure n-valued Łukasiewicz algebras, that is, Łukasiewicz algebras of order n endowed with a closure operator, is investigated. The lattice of subvarieties in the particular case in which the open elements form a three-valued Heyting algebra is obtained.
