Four-part semigroups - semigroups of Boolean operations

Prakit Jampachon, Yeni Susanti, Klaus Denecke (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Four-part semigroups form a new class of semigroups which became important when sets of Boolean operations which are closed under the binary superposition operation f + g := f(g,...,g), were studied. In this paper we describe the lattice of all subsemigroups of an arbitrary four-part semigroup, determine regular and idempotent elements, regular and idempotent subsemigroups, homomorphic images, Green's relations, and prove a representation theorem for four-part semigroups.

Hu's Primal Algebra Theorem revisited

Hans-Eberhard Porst (2000)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

It is shown how Lawvere's one-to-one translation between Birkhoff's description of varieties and the categorical one (see [6]) turns Hu's theorem on varieties generated by a primal algebra (see [4], [5]) into a simple reformulation of the classical representation theorem of finite Boolean algebras as powerset algebras.

Hypersubstitutions in orthomodular lattices

Ivan Chajda, Helmut Länger (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

It is shown that in the variety of orthomodular lattices every hypersubstitution respecting all absorption laws either leaves the lattice operations unchanged or interchanges join and meet. Further, in a variety of lattices with an involutory antiautomorphism a semigroup generated by three involutory hypersubstitutions is described.

Infinite algebras with 3-transitive groups of weak automorphisms

László Szabó (2001)

Archivum Mathematicum

The infinite algebras with 3-transitive groups of weak automorphisms are investigated. Among others it is shown that if an infinite algebra with 3-transitive group of weak automorphisms has a nontrivial idempotent polynomial operation then either it is locally functionally complete or it is polynomially equivalent to a vector space over the two element field or it is a simple algebra that is semi-affine with respect to an elementary 2-group. In the second and third cases the group of weak automorphisms...

Invariance groups of finite functions and orbit equivalence of permutation groups

Eszter K. Horváth, Géza Makay, Reinhard Pöschel, Tamás Waldhauser (2015)

Open Mathematics

Which subgroups of the symmetric group Sn arise as invariance groups of n-variable functions defined on a k-element domain? It appears that the higher the difference n-k, the more difficult it is to answer this question. For k ≤ n, the answer is easy: all subgroups of Sn are invariance groups. We give a complete answer in the cases k = n-1 and k = n-2, and we also give a partial answer in the general case: we describe invariance groups when n is much larger than n-k. The proof utilizes Galois connections...
