چکیده
The determination of the injective and projective members of a category is usually a challenging problem and adds to knowledge of the category. In this paper we consider these questions for the category of Heyting algebras. There has been a lack of uniformity in terminology in recent years. In [6] Heyting algebras are referred to as pseudo-Boolean algebras, and in [1] they are called Brouwerian lattices. We would argue for retaining the name Heyting algebras for the reasons given in [2, p. 162], reserving the name Brouwerian algebras for the algebras dual to Heyting algebras. The fundamental paper on Brouwerian algebras (and therefore Heyting algebras) is [4]. We shall show that a Heyting algebra is injective if and only if it is a complete Boolean algebra. The determination of projective Heyting algebras is, as usual, more difficult. We shall characterize all projective Heyting algebras which are finite or are chains. Some other results on projective algebras are given.

Dually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras II. Regularity
This paper is the second of a two part series. In this Part, we prove, using the description of simples obtained in Part I, that the variety $mathbf{RDQDStSH_1}$ of regular dually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras of level 1 is the join of the variety generated by the twenty 3-element $mathbf{RDQDStSH_1}$-chains and the variety of dually quasi-De Morgan Boolean semi-Heyting algebras--...
متن کاملDually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras I. Regularity
This paper is the first of a two part series. In this paper, we first prove that the variety of dually quasi-De Morgan Stone semi-Heyting algebras of level 1 satisfies the strongly blended $lor$-De Morgan law introduced in cite{Sa12}. Then, using this result and the results of cite{Sa12}, we prove our main result which gives an explicit description of simple algebras(=subdirectly irreducibles) ...
متن کاملOn finitely generated Heyting algebras
We study finitely generated Heyting algebras from algebraic and model theoretic points of view. We prove amon others that finitely generated free Heyting algebras embed in their profinite completions, which are projective limits of finitely generated free Heyting algebras of finite dimension.

Let $mathcal{X}$ be a class of $R$-modules. In this paper, we investigate ;$mathcal{X}$-injective (projective) and DG-$mathcal{X}$-injective (projective) complexes which are generalizations of injective (projective) and DG-injective (projective) complexes. We prove that some known results can be extended to the class of ;$mathcal{X}$-injective (projective) and DG-$mathcal{X}$-injective ...
متن کاملOn Heyting algebras and dual BCK-algebras
A Heyting algebra is a distributive lattice with implication and a dual $BCK$-algebra is an algebraic system having as models logical systems equipped with implication. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relation of Heyting algebras between dual $BCK$-algebras. We define notions of $i$-invariant and $m$-invariant on dual $BCK$-semilattices and prove that a Heyting semilattice is equiva...
