Ordered groupoids and étendues
This article establishes the algebraic covering theory of quandles. For every connected quandle Q with base point q ∈ Q, we explicitly construct a universal covering p: (Q̃,q̃̃) → (Q,q). This in turn leads us to define the algebraic fundamental group , where Adj(Q) is the adjoint group of Q. We then establish the Galois correspondence between connected coverings of (Q,q) and subgroups of π₁(Q,q). Quandle coverings are thus formally analogous to coverings of topological spaces, and resemble Kervaire’s...
En un trabajo de Huq se introduce el concepto de resolubilidad en categorías [2]. En mi tesis doctoral [1 (4.2.3), p.87] se hace distinción entre resolubilidad fuerte (resolubilidad de Huq) y resolubilidad, conceptos que coinciden en el caso de grupos, anillos asociativos y álgebras de Lie, pero no en cualquier tipo de Ω-grupos, donde la resolubilidad corresponde a la introducida en [1].El objeto de esta nota es dar una caracterización de los objetos resolubles (corolario 6), la cual nos permite...
In an earlier paper, the second author generalized Eilenberg's variety theory by establishing a basic correspondence between certain classes of monoid morphisms and families of regular languages. We extend this theory in several directions. First, we prove a version of Reiterman's theorem concerning the definition of varieties by identities, and illustrate this result by describing the identities associated with languages of the form (a1a2...ak)+, where a1,...,ak are distinct letters. Next,...

We introduce the abelian category R-gr of groupoid graded modules and give an answer to the following general question: If U: R-gr → R-mod denotes the functor which associates to any graded left R-module M the underlying ungraded structure U(M), when does either of the following two implications hold: (I) M has property X ⇒ U(M) has property X; (II) U(M) has property X ⇒ M has property X? We treat the cases when X is one of the properties: direct summand, free, finitely generated, finitely presented,...
