In this paper congruences on orthomodular lattices are studied with particular regard to analogies in Boolean algebras. For this reason the lattice of p-ideals (corresponding to the congruence lattice) and the interplay between congruence classes is investigated. From the results adduced there, congruence regularity, uniformity and permutability for orthomodular lattices can be derived easily.

T. Dent, K. Kearnes and Á. Szendrei have defined the derivative, Σ′, of a set of equations Σ and shown, for idempotent Σ, that Σ implies congruence modularity if Σ′ is inconsistent (Σ′ |= x ≈ y). In this paper we investigate other types of derivatives that give similar results for congruence n-permutability for some n, and for congruence semidistributivity.

We investigate some local versions of congruence permutability, regularity, uniformity and modularity. The results are applied to several examples including implication algebras, orthomodular lattices and relative pseudocomplemented lattices.

this paper is a chronological survey, with no proofs, of a direction in categorical algebra, which is based on categorical galois theory and involves generalized central extensions, commutators, and internal groupoids in barr exact mal’tsev and more general categories. galois theory proposes a notion of central extension, and motivates the study of internal groupoids, which is then used as an a...

In [1] T. Dent, K. Kearnes and Á. Szendrei define the derivative, Σ′, of a set of equations Σ and show, for idempotent Σ, that Σ implies congruence modularity if Σ′ is inconsistent (Σ′ |= x ≈ y). In this paper we investigate other types of derivatives that give similar results for congruence n-permutable for some n, and for congruence semidistributivity. In a recent paper [1] T. Dent, K.
