Implicative and Disjunctive Prevarieties: Algebraic aspects of Deduction Theorem (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781690955559)

An (equational) implication/disjunction system for a class of algebrasis a set of quadruple equations defining implication/disjunction of equalities in algebras of the class.Then, a prevariety (viz., an implicational class), i.e., an abstract hereditary multiplicative class of algebras issaid to be [finitely] implicative/disjunctive, provided it is generated by a class with [finite] implication/disjunction system.One of preliminary general results of the book is that a [pre]variety is implicative/disjunctive iff it hasrestricted equationally definable principal[ relative] congruences/(congruence diagonal )meets (REDP[R]C/ (CD)M) and isthe prevariety generated by its[ relatively] simple/finitely-subdirectly-irreducible membersiff both has REDP[R]C/CDM and is [relatively ]semi-simple/congruence-fmi-based.In particular, a [quasi]variety is implicative/disjunctive iff itboth has REDP[R]C and is [relatively ]semi-simple/just has REDP[R]CDM.And what is more, we prove that any class K of algebras ofa given algebraic signature S generates the quasivariety being a variety, whenever, for some subsinature S' of S, KS' has a finite implication systemand generates the quasivariety being a variety.As for disjunctive [pre]varieties, we also prove that these are[ relatively] congruence-distributive.This, in particular, implies the [relative ]congruence-distributivity of (finitely )implicative [quasi(pre)]varieties.And what is more, it collectively with Jonsson's Ultrafilter Lemma imply that any implicative quasivariety is a variety iff it is congruence-distributive and semi-simple.At last, we obtain congruence characterizations of [finitely ]disjunctive/implicative (pre/quasi)varieties.In this connection, we also prove that there is no non-trivial implicative relatively congruence-Boolean prevariety.As a consequence, there is no non-trivial[ relatively] congruence-Boolean [quasi]variety.In addition, we introduce the notion of semilattice congruence generalizing that ofideal one and prove that a [quasi]variety has (R)EDP[R]C iffit is[ relatively] (sub)directly semilattice iff it is[ relatively] (sub)directly ideal, and what is more, is [relatively ](sub)directly filtral iff it both is [relatively ]semi-simple and either has (R)EDP[R]Cor is[ relatively] (sub)directly congruence-distributivewith (universally )axiomatizable class of[ relatively] simple(and trivial algebras) iff it is subdirecltly (non-)parmeterized implicative.As a consequence, a variety is discriminator iff it is arithmetical and semi-simple with universally axiomatizable class of simple and trivial algebras.And what is more, we prove that any prevariety generated by the algebra reductsof a finite class of finite prime filter expansions of latticeswith equality determinant is a finitely disjunctive quasivariety, the disjunction system being naturally defined by the equality determinant, with relative subdirectly-irreducibles, being exactly non-trivialalgebras embeddable into a member of the generating class, andis implicative iff it is relatively semi-simple, in which caseit is a variety iff it is semi-simple.And what is much more, we prove that any finite distributive latticeexpansion with a uniform equality determinant for all its primefilters has an implication system naturally defined by the equality determinant.These (merely, the former) prove to be well-applicable to both the varieties ofdistributive and De Morgan lattices( as well as Stone algebras)
