Congruence classes in Brouwerian semilattices

Ivan Chajda, Helmut Länger (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Brouwerian semilattices are meet-semilattices with 1 in which every element a has a relative pseudocomplement with respect to every element b, i. e. a greatest element c with a∧c ≤ b. Properties of classes of reflexive and compatible binary relations, especially of congruences of such algebras are described and an abstract characterization of congruence classes via ideals is obtained.

Congruence lattices in varieties with compact intersection property

Filip Krajník, Miroslav Ploščica (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We say that a variety 𝒱 of algebras has the Compact Intersection Property (CIP), if the family of compact congruences of every A 𝒱 is closed under intersection. We investigate the congruence lattices of algebras in locally finite, congruence-distributive CIP varieties and obtain a complete characterization for several types of such varieties. It turns out that our description only depends on subdirectly irreducible algebras in 𝒱 and embeddings between them. We believe that the strategy used here can...

Congruence lattices of intransitive G-Sets and flat M-Sets

Steve Seif (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

An M-Set is a unary algebra X , M whose set M of operations is a monoid of transformations of X ; X , M is a G-Set if M is a group. A lattice L is said to be represented by an M-Set X , M if the congruence lattice of X , M is isomorphic to L . Given an algebraic lattice L , an invariant Π ( L ) is introduced here. Π ( L ) provides substantial information about properties common to all representations of L by intransitive G-Sets. Π ( L ) is a sublattice of L (possibly isomorphic to the trivial lattice), a Π -product lattice. A Π -product...

Congruence restrictions on axes

Jaromír Duda (1992)

Mathematica Bohemica

We give Mal’cev conditions for varieties 4V4 whose congruences on the product A × B , A , B V , are determined by their restrictions on the axes in A × B .

Congruence schemes and their applications

Ivan Chajda, Sándor Radelecki (2005)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Using congruence schemes we formulate new characterizations of congruence distributive, arithmetical and majority algebras. We prove new properties of the tolerance lattice and of the lattice of compatible reflexive relations of a majority algebra and generalize earlier results of H.-J. Bandelt, G. Cz'{e}dli and the present authors. Algebras whose congruence lattices satisfy certain 0-conditions are also studied.

Congruence submodularity

Ivan Chajda, Radomír Halaš (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

We present a countable infinite chain of conditions which are essentially weaker then congruence modularity (with exception of first two). For varieties of algebras, the third of these conditions, the so called 4-submodularity, is equivalent to congruence modularity. This is not true for single algebras in general. These conditions are characterized by Maltsev type conditions.
