On idempotent modifications of M V -algebras

Ján Jakubík (2007)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The notion of idempotent modification of an algebra was introduced by Ježek. He proved that the idempotent modification of a group is subdirectly irreducible. For an M V -algebra 𝒜 we denote by 𝒜 ' , A and ( 𝒜 ) the idempotent modification, the underlying set or the underlying lattice of 𝒜 , respectively. In the present paper we prove that if 𝒜 is semisimple and ( 𝒜 ) is a chain, then 𝒜 ' is subdirectly irreducible. We deal also with a question of Ježek concerning varieties of algebras.

On Jónsson's theorem

Mathematica Bohemica

A proof of Jonsson's theorem inspired by considering a natural topology on algebraic lattices is given.

On modular elements of the lattice of semigroup varieties

Boris M. Vernikov (2007)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A semigroup variety is called modular if it is a modular element of the lattice of all semigroup varieties. We obtain a strong necessary condition for a semigroup variety to be modular. In particular, we prove that every modular nil-variety may be given by 0-reduced identities and substitutive identities only. (An identity u = v is called substitutive if the words u and v depend on the same letters and v may be obtained from u by renaming of letters.) We completely determine all commutative modular...

On multiplication groups of relatively free quasigroups isotopic to Abelian groups

Aleš Drápal (2005)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

If Q is a quasigroup that is free in the class of all quasigroups which are isotopic to an Abelian group, then its multiplication group M l t Q is a Frobenius group. Conversely, if M l t Q is a Frobenius group, Q a quasigroup, then Q has to be isotopic to an Abelian group. If Q is, in addition, finite, then it must be a central quasigroup (a T -quasigroup).

On nondistributive Steiner quasigroups

A. Marczak (1997)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A well known result of R. Dedekind states that a lattice is nonmodular if and only if it has a sublattice isomorphic to N 5 . Similarly a lattice is nondistributive if and only if it has a sublattice isomorphic to N 5 or M 3 (see [11]). Recently a few results in this spirit were obtained involving the number of polynomials of an algebra (see e.g. [1], [3], [5], [6]). In this paper we prove that a nondistributive Steiner quasigroup (G,·) has at least 21 essentially ternary polynomials (which improves the...

On permutability in semigroup varieties

Bedřich Pondělíček (1991)

Mathematica Bohemica

The paper contains characterizations of semigroup varieties whose semigroups with one generator (two generators) are permutable. Here all varieties of regular * -semigroups are described in which each semigroup with two generators is permutable.

On quasivarieties of nilpotent Moufang loops. II

Vasile I. Ursu (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this part of the paper we study the quasiidentities of the nilpotent Moufang loops. In particular, we solve the problem of finite basis for quasiidentities in the finitely generated nilpotent Moufang loop.

On reductive and distributive algebras

Anna B. Romanowska (1999)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The paper investigates idempotent, reductive, and distributive groupoids, and more generally Ω -algebras of any type including the structure of such groupoids as reducts. In particular, any such algebra can be built up from algebras with a left zero groupoid operation. It is also shown that any two varieties of left k -step reductive Ω -algebras, and of right n -step reductive Ω -algebras, are independent for any positive integers k and n . This gives a structural description of algebras in the join of...

On schemes for congruence distributivity

I. Chajda, R. Halaš (2004)

Open Mathematics

We present diagrammatic schemes characterizing congruence 3-permutable and distributive algebras. We show that a congruence 3-permutable algebra is congruence meetsemidistributive if and only if it is distributive. We characterize varieties of algebras satisfying the so-called triangular scheme by means of a Maltsev-type condition.
