A Note on Hilbert Algebras and Their Related Generalized Esakia Spaces

Generalized Esakia spaces are the topological duals of bounded implicative semilattices in the duality studied by G. Bezhanishvili and R. Jansana. We study the relation between a Hilbert algebra and the generalized Esakia space dual to its free implicative semilattice extension. To establish the relation we introduce a category whose objects are a generalized Esakia space together with a family of clopen up-sets that constitutes a subalgebra of the implication fragment of the Heyting algebra of the up-sets of the generalized Esakia space.     

Hilbert algebras as implicative partial semilattices

The infimum of elements a and b of a Hilbert algebra are said to be the compatible meet of a and b, if the elements a and b are compatible in a certain strict sense. The subject of the paper will be Hilbert algebras equipped with the compatible meet operation, which normally is partial. A partial lower semilattice is shown to be a reduct of such an expanded Hilbert algebra i ?both algebras have the same ?lters.An expanded Hilbert algebra is actually an implicative partial semilattice (i.e., a relative subalgebra of an implicative semilattice),and conversely.The implication in an implicative partial semilattice is characterised in terms of ?lters of the underlying partial semilattice.     

The center of an effect algebra

An effect algebra is a partial algebra modeled on the standard effect algebra of positive self-adjoint operators dominated by the identity on a Hilbert space. Every effect algebra is partially ordered in a natural way, as suggested by the partial order on the standard effect algebra. An effect algebra is said to be distributive if, as a poset, it forms a distributive lattice. We define and study the center of an effect algebra, relate it to cartesian-product factorizations, determine the center of the standard effect algebra, and characterize all finite distributive effect algebras as products of chains and diamonds.

On (∈, ∈ ∨ q)‐fuzzy filters of R0‐algebras

In this paper, we introduce the notions of (∈, ∈ ∨ q)‐fuzzy filters and (∈, ∈ ∨ q)‐fuzzy Boolean (implicative) filters in R₀‐algebras and investigate some of their related properties. Some characterization theorems of these generalized fuzzy filters are derived. In particular, we prove that a fuzzy set in R₀‐algebras is an (∈, ∈ ∨ q)‐fuzzy Boolean filter if and only if it is an (∈, ∈ ∨ q)‐fuzzy implicative filter. Finally, we consider the concepts of implication‐based fuzzy Boolean (implicative) filters of R₀‐algebras (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Canonical extensions for congruential logics with the deduction theorem

We introduce a new and general notion of canonical extension for algebras in the algebraic counterpart of any finitary and congruential logic S. This definition is logic-based rather than purely order-theoretic and is in general different from the definition of canonical extensions for monotone poset expansions, but the two definitions agree whenever the algebras in are based on lattices. As a case study on logics purely based on implication, we prove that the varieties of Hilbert and Tarski algebras are canonical in this new sense.     

Weak effect algebras

Weak effect algebras are based on a commutative, associative and cancellative partial addition; they are moreover endowed with a partial order which is compatible with the addition, but in general not determined by it. Every BL-algebra, i.e. the Lindenbaum algebra of a theory of Basic Logic, gives rise to a weak effect algebra; to this end, the monoidal operation is restricted to a partial cancellative operation. We examine in this paper BL-effect algebras, a subclass of the weak effect algebras which properly contains all weak effect algebras arising from BL-algebras. We describe the structure of BL-effect algebras in detail. We thus generalise the well-known structure theory of BL-algebras. Namely, we show that BL-effect algebras are subdirect products of linearly ordered ones and that linearly ordered BL-effect algebras are ordinal sums of generalised effect algebras. The latter are representable by means of linearly ordered groups. This research was partially supported by the German Science Foundation (DFG) as part of the Collaborative Research Center “Computational Intelligence” (SFB 531).     

Representation and duality for Hilbert algebras

In this paper we introduce a special kind of ordered topological spaces, called Hilbert spaces. We prove that the category of Hilbert algebras with semi-homomorphisms is dually equivalent to the category of Hilbert spaces with certain relations. We restrict this result to give a duality for the category of Hilbert algebras with homomorphisms. We apply these results to prove that the lattice of the deductive systems of a Hilbert algebra and the lattice of open subsets of its dual Hilbert space, are isomorphic. We explore how this duality is related to the duality given in [6] for finite Hilbert algebras, and with the topological duality developed in [7] for Tarski algebras.

On Special Implicative Filters

In her well-known book, Rasiowa states without proof that in implicative algebras there is a one-to-one correspondence between kernels of epimorphisms and the so-called special implicative filters, and that in the logic whose algebraic counterpart is the class of implicative algebras the deductive filters coincide with the special implicative filters. We show that neither claim is true, and how to repair the situation by redefining some of the notions involved. We answer other questions concerning special implicative filters, taking the theory of algebraizable logics of Blok and Pigozzi as a framework to approach the question in a systematic way.     

Semi-Nelson Algebras

Generalizing the well known and exploited relation between Heyting and Nelson algebras to semi-Heyting algebras, we introduce the variety of semi-Nelson algebras. The main tool for its study is the construction given by Vakarelov. Using it, we characterize the lattice of congruences of a semi-Nelson algebra through some of its deductive systems, use this to find the subdirectly irreducible algebras, prove that the variety is arithmetical, has equationally definable principal congruences, has the congruence extension property and describe the semisimple subvarieties.     

Implicative Ideals and Fuzzy Implicative Ideals of a Distributive Implication Groupoid

We introduce the notions of implicative ideals and fuzzy implicative ideals of a distributive implication groupoid. Some properties of these ideals will be investigated. In particular, the necessary and sufficient conditions for an ideal (fuzzy ideal) to be an implicative ideal (fuzzy implicative ideal) is given. By using the concept of level sets, we will characterize the fuzzy implicative ideals of a distributive implication groupoid. Finally, an extension property for fuzzy implicative ideals is given.     

n ‐fold filters in BL‐algebras

In this paper we introduce n ‐fold (positive) implicative basis logic and the related algebras called n ‐fold (positive) implicative BL‐algebras. Also we define n ‐fold (positive) implicative filters and we prove some relations between these filters and construct quotient algebras via these filters. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Spectral-like duality for distributive Hilbert algebras with infimum

Distributive Hilbert algebras with infimum, or DH^-algebras for short, are algebras with implication and conjunction, in which the implication and the conjunction do not necessarily satisfy the residuation law. These algebras do not fall under the scope of the usual duality theory for lattice expansions, precisely because they lack residuation. We propose a new approach, that consists of regarding the conjunction as the additional operation on the underlying implicative structure. In this paper, we introduce a class of spaces, based on compactly-based sober topological spaces. We prove that the category of these spaces and certain relations is dually equivalent to the category of DH^-algebras and \({\wedge}\)-semi-homomorphisms. We show that the restriction of this duality to a wide subcategory of spaces gives us a duality for the category of DH^-algebras and algebraic homomorphisms. This last duality generalizes the one given by the author in 2003 for implicative semilattices. Moreover, we use the duality to give a dual characterization of the main classes of filters for DH^-algebras, namely, (irreducible) meet filters, (irreducible) implicative filters and absorbent filters.     

On the infinite-valued Łukasiewicz logic that preserves degrees of truth

Łukasiewicz’s infinite-valued logic is commonly defined as the set of formulas that take the value 1 under all evaluations in the Łukasiewicz algebra on the unit real interval. In the literature a deductive system axiomatized in a Hilbert style was associated to it, and was later shown to be semantically defined from Łukasiewicz algebra by using a “truth-preserving” scheme. This deductive system is algebraizable, non-selfextensional and does not satisfy the deduction theorem. In addition, there exists no Gentzen calculus fully adequate for it. Another presentation of the same deductive system can be obtained from a substructural Gentzen calculus. In this paper we use the framework of abstract algebraic logic to study a different deductive system which uses the aforementioned algebra under a scheme of “preservation of degrees of truth”. We characterize the resulting deductive system in a natural way by using the lattice filters of Wajsberg algebras, and also by using a structural Gentzen calculus, which is shown to be fully adequate for it. This logic is an interesting example for the general theory: it is selfextensional, non-protoalgebraic, and satisfies a “graded” deduction theorem. Moreover, the Gentzen system is algebraizable. The first deductive system mentioned turns out to be the extension of the second by the rule of Modus Ponens.While writing this paper, the authors were partially supported by grants MTM2004-03101 and TIN2004-07933-C03-02 of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science, including FEDER funds of the European Union.     

Topological duality for Tarski algebras

In this paper we will generalize the representation theory developed for finite Tarski algebras given in [7]. We will introduce the notion of Tarski space as a generalization of the notion of dense Tarski set, and we will prove that the category of Tarski algebras with semi-homomorphisms is dually equivalent to the category of Tarski spaces with certain closed relations, called T-relations. By these results we will obtain that the algebraic category of Tarski algebras is dually equivalent to the category of Tarski spaces with certain partial functions. We will apply these results to give a topological characterization of the subalgebras. Received August 21, 2005; accepted in final form December 5, 2006.
