چکیده

We show that for a variety V of Heyting algebras the following conditions are equivalent: (1) V is locally finite; (2) the V-coproduct of any two finite V-algebras is finite; (3) either V coincides with the variety of Boolean algebras or finite V-copowers of the three element chain 3 ∈ V are finite. We also show that a variety V of Heyting algebras is generated by its finite members if, and only if, V is generated by a locally finite V-algebra. Finally, to the two existing criteria for varieties of Heyting algebras to be finitely generated we add the following one: V is finitely generated if, and only if, V is residually finite.

Revised working draft (31 January 2016) EPIMORPHISMS IN VARIETIES OF RESIDUATED STRUCTURES

It is proved that epimorphisms are surjective in a range of varieties of residuated structures, including all varieties of Heyting or Brouwerian algebras of finite depth, and all varieties consisting of Gödel algebras, relative Stone algebras, Sugihara monoids or positive Sugihara monoids. This establishes the infinite deductive Beth definability property for a corresponding range of substructu...

Model completion of varieties of co-Heyting algebras

It is known that exactly eight varieties of Heyting algebras have a modelcompletion, but no concrete axiomatisation of these model-completions were known by now except for the trivial variety (reduced to the one-point algebra) and the variety of Boolean algebras. For each of the six remaining varieties we introduce two axioms and show that 1) these axioms are satisfied by all the algebras in th...

Optimal natural dualities for varieties of Heyting algebras

The techniques of natural duality theory are applied to certain finitely generated varieties of Heyting algebras to obtain optimal dualities for these varieties, and thereby to address algebraic questions about them. In particular, a complete characterisation is given of the endodualisable finite subdirectly irreducible Heyting algebras. The procedures involved rely heavily on Priestley duality...

An algebraic approach to subframe logics. Intuitionistic case

We develop duality between nuclei on Heyting algebras and certain binary relations on Heyting spaces. We show that these binary relations are in 1–1 correspondence with subframes of Heyting spaces. We introduce the notions of nuclear and dense nuclear varieties of Heyting algebras, and prove that a variety of Heyting algebras is nuclear iff it is a subframe variety, and that it is dense nuclear...

Locally Finite Reducts of Heyting Algebras and Canonical Formulas

The variety of Heyting algebras has two well-behaved locally finite reducts, the variety of bounded distributive lattices and the variety of implicative semilattices. The variety of bounded distributive lattices is generated by the→-free reducts of Heyting algebras while the variety of implicative semilattices by the ∨-free reducts. Each of these reducts gives rise to canonical formulas that ge...
