Locally finite varieties of Heyting algebras

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

Sums, products and negations of contexts and complete lattices

In Formal Concept Analysis, one associates with every context its concept lattice , and conversely, with any complete lattice L the standard context L, constituted by the join-irreducible elements as ‘objects’, the meet-irreducible elements as ‘attributes’, and the incidence relation induced by the lattice order. We investigate the effect of the operators and on various (finite or infinite) sum and product constructions. The rules obtained confirm the ‘exponential’ behavior of and the ‘logarithmic’ behavior of with respect to cardinal operations but show a ‘linear’ behavior on ordinal sums. We use these results in order to establish several forms of De Morgan’s law for the lattice-theoretical negation operator, associating with any complete lattice the concept lattice of the complementary standard context.

Let be a symmetric operator with compact resolvent defined in a Hilbert space For any fixed we consider an entire function K_a which involves the resolvent of Associated with K_a we obtain, by duality in a Hilbert space of entire functions which becomes a De Branges space of entire functions. This property provides a characterization of regardless of the anti-linear mapping which has as its range space.

Symmetrization of Closure Operators and Visibility

For an arbitrary set E and a given closure operator , we want to construct a symmetric closure operator via some – possibly infinite – iteration process. If E is finite, the corresponding symmetric closure operator . defines a matroid. If and is the convex closure operator, turns out to be the affine closure operator. Moreover, we apply the symmetrization process to closure operators induced by visibility. Received March 9, 2005     

Congruence properties in congruence permutable and in ideal determined varieties, with applications.

We define a weak version of EDPC (equationally definable principal congruences), called EDPC*, that is shown to be preserved under varietal closure in congruence permutable varieties. We show that if is a congruence permutable variety generated by a class then has EDPC iff has EDPC* iff has EDPC*. An equational condition is given which, if satisfied by implies that has the CEP (congruence extension property). Similar results are proved for ideal determined varieties. These results are applied to the variety of residuated lattices, with examples.Received January 15, 2004; accepted in final form October 8, 2004.

If the Lefschetz decomposition is generated by a vector bundle tilting over Y then is a noncommutative resolution, and if the Lefschetz decomposition is rectangular, then is a crepant resolution.

\mathcal{P}\mathcal{A}{\text{-isomorphisms}} of inverse semigroups

A partial automorphism of a semigroup S is any isomorphism between its subsemigroups, and the set all partial automorphisms of S with respect to composition is an inverse monoid called the partial automorphism monoid of S. Two semigroups are said to be if their partial automorphism monoids are isomorphic. A class of semigroups is called if it contains every semigroup to some semigroup from Although the class of all inverse semigroups is not we prove that the class of inverse semigroups, in which no maximal isolated subgroup is a direct product of an involution-free periodic group and the two-element cyclic group, is It follows that the class of all combinatorial inverse semigroups (those with no nontrivial subgroups) is A semigroup is called if it is isomorphic or antiisomorphic to any semigroup that is to it. We show that combinatorial inverse semigroups which are either shortly connected [5] or quasi-archimedean [10] are To Ralph McKenzieReceived April 15, 2004; accepted in final form October 7, 2004.

Cancellative residuated lattices

Cancellative residuated lattices are natural generalizations of lattice-ordered groups ( -groups). Although cancellative monoids are defined by quasi-equations, the class of cancellative residuated lattices is a variety. We prove that there are only two commutative subvarieties of that cover the trivial variety, namely the varieties generated by the integers and the negative integers (with zero). We also construct examples showing that in contrast to -groups, the lattice reducts of cancellative residuated lattices need not be distributive. In fact we prove that every lattice can be embedded in the lattice reduct of a cancellative residuated lattice. Moreover, we show that there exists an order-preserving injection of the lattice of all lattice varieties into the subvariety lattice of .We define generalized MV-algebras and generalized BL-algebras and prove that the cancellative integral members of these varieties are precisely the negative cones of -groups, hence the latter form a variety, denoted by . Furthermore we prove that the map that sends a subvariety of -groups to the corresponding class of negative cones is a lattice isomorphism from the lattice of subvarieties of to the lattice of subvarieties of . Finally, we show how to translate equational bases between corresponding subvarieties, and briefly discuss these results in the context of R.

Metric Geometry in Homogeneous Spaces of the Unitary Group of a C*-Algebra. Part II. Geodesics Joining Fixed Endpoints

This article focuses on the study of the metric geometry of homogeneous spaces (the unitary group of a C*-algebra modulo the unitary group of a C*-subalgebra ) where the invariant Finsler metric in is induced by the quotient norm of Under the assumption that is of compact type, i.e. when the unitary group is relatively compact in the strong operator topology, this work presents local and global versions of Hopf-Rinow-like theorems: given points there exists a minimal uniparametric group curve joining ρ₀ and ρ₁.     

Entropy and Decay of Correlations for Real Analytic Semi-Flows

We consider real analytic suspension semi-flows over uniformly expanding real-analytic map of the interval. We show that for any -invariant equilibrium measure related to an analytic potential g, there exists a Banach space of test functions such that for generic observables in , the corresponding correlation functions cannot decay faster than , where h_g is the measure theoretic entropy of . This statement implies the existence of essential spectrum for the Perron-Frobenius operator associated to the semi-flow, when acting on any reasonable Banach space. Submitted: September 16, 2008.

Scaling Limit for Subsystems and Doplicher–Roberts Reconstruction

Given an inclusion of (graded) local nets, we analyse the structure of the corresponding inclusion of scaling limit nets , giving conditions, fulfilled in free field theory, under which the unicity of the scaling limit of implies that of the scaling limit of . As a byproduct, we compute explicitly the (unique) scaling limit of the fixpoint nets of scalar free field theories. In the particular case of an inclusion of local nets with the same canonical field net , we find sufficient conditions which entail the equality of the canonical field nets of .
