We continue the study of directoid groups, directed abelian groups equipped with an extra binary operation which assigns an upper bound to each ordered pair subject to some natural restrictions. The class of all such structures can to some extent be viewed as an equationally defined substitute for the class of (2-torsion-free) directed abelian groups. We explore the relationship between the two associated categories, and some aspects of ideals of directoid groups.
The theory of discriminator algebras and varieties has been investigated extensively, and provides us with a wealth of information and techniques applicable to specific examples of such algebras and varieties. Here we give several such examples for Boolean algebras with a residuated binary operator, abbreviated as r-algebras. More specifically, we show that all finite r-algebras, all integral r-algebras, all unital r-algebras with finitely many elements below the unit, and all commutative residuated...
A differential modal is an algebra with two binary operations such that one of the reducts is a differential groupoid and the other is a semilattice, and with the groupoid operation distributing over the semilattice operation. The aim of this paper is to show that the varieties of entropic and distributive differential modals coincide, and to describe the lattice of varieties of entropic differential modals.
We present a formal scheme which whenever satisfied by relations of a given relational lattice containing only reflexive and transitive relations ensures distributivity of .
The paper establishes a duality between a category of free subreducts of affine spaces and a corresponding category of generalized hypercubes with constants. This duality yields many others, in particular a duality between the category of (finitely generated) free barycentric algebras (simplices of real affine spaces) and a corresponding category of hypercubes with constants.
