Commutative zeropotent semigroups with few invariant congruences

Robert El Bashir, Tomáš Kepka (2008)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Commutative semigroups satisfying the equation 2 x + y = 2 x and having only two G -invariant congruences for an automorphism group G are considered. Some classes of these semigroups are characterized and some other examples are constructed.

Compatible Idempotent Terms in Universal Algebra

Ivan Chajda, Antonio Ledda, Francesco Paoli (2014)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

In universal algebra, we oftentimes encounter varieties that are not especially well-behaved from any point of view, but are such that all their members have a “well-behaved core”, i.e. subalgebras or quotients with satisfactory properties. Of special interest is the case in which this “core” is a retract determined by an idempotent endomorphism that is uniformly term definable (through a unary term t ( x ) ) in every member of the given variety. Here, we try to give a unified account of this phenomenon....

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...
