The structure of the rings assigned to group varieties
We define and compare a selection of congruence properties of quasivarieties, including the relative congruence meet semi-distributivity, RSD(∧), and the weak extension property, WEP. We prove that if 𝒦 ⊆ ℒ ⊆ ℒ' are quasivarieties of finite signature, and ℒ' is finitely generated while 𝒦 ⊨ WEP, then 𝒦 is finitely axiomatizable relative to ℒ. We prove for any quasivariety 𝒦 that 𝒦 ⊨ RSD(∧) iff 𝒦 has pseudo-complemented congruence lattices and 𝒦 ⊨ WEP. Applying these results and other results...
We study the weak hereditary class of all weak subalgebras of algebras in a total variety . We establish an algebraic characterization, in the sense of Birkhoff’s HSP theorem, and a syntactical characterization of these classes. We also consider the problem of when such a weak hereditary class is weak equational.
We find an independent base for three-variable equations of posets.
Tree transducers are systems which transform trees into trees just as automata transform strings into strings. They produce transformations, i.e. sets consisting of pairs of trees where the first components are trees belonging to a first language and the second components belong to a second language. In this paper we consider hypersubstitutions, i.e. mappings which map operation symbols of the first language into terms of the second one and tree transformations defined by such hypersubstitutions....
