Irreducible residuated semilattices and finitely based varieties
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with axiomatization problems for varieties of residuated meet semilattice-ordered monoids (RSs). An internal characterization of the finitely subdirectly irreducible RSs is proved, and it is used to investigate the varieties of RSs within which the finitely based subvarieties are closed under finite joins. It is shown that a variety has this closure property if its finitely subdirectly irreducible members form an elementary class. A syntactic characterization of this hypothesis is proved, and examples are discussed.

متن کاملRepresentable Idempotent Commutative Residuated Lattices
It is proved that the variety of representable idempotent commutative residuated lattices is locally finite. The n-generated subdirectly irreducible algebras in this variety are shown to have at most 3n+1 elements each. A constructive characterization of the subdirectly irreducible algebras is provided, with some applications. The main result implies that every finitely based extension of posit...
متن کاملMacNeille Completions of FL-algebras
We show that a large number of equations are preserved by DedekindMacNeille completions when applied to subdirectly irreducible FL-algebras/residuated lattices. These equations are identified in a systematic way, based on proof-theoretic ideas and techniques in substructural logics. It follows that a large class of varieties of Heyting algebras and FL-algebras admits completions.
متن کاملDiscriminator Varieties of Boolean Algebras with Residuated Operators
The theory of discriminator algebras and varieties has been investigated extensively, and provides us with a wealth of information and techniques applicable to specific examples of such algebras and varieties. Here we give several such examples for Boolean algebras with a residuated binary operator, abbreviated as r-algebras. More specifically, we show that all finite r-algebras, all integral r...
متن کاملOn generalized hoops, homomorphic images of residuated lattices, and (G)BL-algebras
Right-residuated binars and right-divisible residuated binars are defined as precursors of generalized hoops, followed by some results and open problems about these partially ordered algebras. Next we show that all complete homomorphic images of a complete residuated lattice A can be constructed easily on certain definable subsets of A. Applying these observations to the algebras of Hajek’s Bas...
