The weak extension property and finite axiomatizability for quasivarieties

Wiesław Dziobiak, Miklós Maróti, Ralph McKenzie, Anvar Nurakunov (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

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...

Transferral of entailment in duality theory: dualisability

Maria Joao Gouveia, Miroslav Haviar (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A number of new results that say how to transfer the entailment relation between two different finite generators of a quasi-variety of algebras is presented. As their consequence, a well-known result saying that dualisability of a quasi-variety is independent of the generating algebra is derived. The transferral of endodualisability is also considered and the results are illustrated by examples.

Transferral of entailment in duality theory II: strong dualisability

Maria João Gouveia, Miroslav Haviar (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Results saying how to transfer the entailment in certain minimal and maximal ways and how to transfer strong dualisability between two different finite generators of a quasi-variety of algebras are presented. A new proof for a well-known result in the theory of natural dualities which says that strong dualisability of a quasi-variety is independent of the generating algebra is derived.

Weak alg-universality and Q -universality of semigroup quasivarieties

Marie Demlová, Václav Koubek (2005)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In an earlier paper, the authors showed that standard semigroups 𝐌 1 , 𝐌 2 and 𝐌 3 play an important role in the classification of weaker versions of alg-universality of semigroup varieties. This paper shows that quasivarieties generated by 𝐌 2 and 𝐌 3 are neither relatively alg-universal nor Q -universal, while there do exist finite semigroups 𝐒 2 and 𝐒 3 generating the same semigroup variety as 𝐌 2 and 𝐌 3 respectively and the quasivarieties generated by 𝐒 2 and/or 𝐒 3 are quasivar-relatively f f -alg-universal and Q -universal...
