... A. (2') does not imply (2) for arbitrary (bounded, distributive) lattices, but B. (2') does imply (2) for arbitrary Heyting algebras. For A, let L be the...
... A complete Heyting algebra L is also known as a locale, or frame (see, eg, P. Johnstone, Stone Spaces, CUP, 1982), and can be regarded as a generalized...

Dear Tadeusz, Do you have references for Esakia's proof of the result you mentioned (i.e. that if in a complete Heyting algebra every element is a join of ...

Hi everyone, I resolved for 2004 to find out how people feel about having more computer scientists on the list. Note that there already are some; they are...
Hello, Autometrizable algebras, especially particular ones like MV-algebras are well-known in the literature. But the connection of the 'autometric' with...
Since I'm one of the current computer science subscribers (though my PhD was in algebra), I thought I ought to comment. I haven't voted - my mastery of...

By examining the operations on {0,a,1} that commute with the retraction r, one can show that there are exactly 4 sets of operations {x+y, x*y, -x, 0, 1} such...
