Axiomatization of Boolean algebras via weak dicomplementations

Logic 2009-07-08 v1

Abstract

In this note we give an axiomatization of Boolean algebras based on weakly dicomplemented lattices: an algebra (L,,,\tu)(L,\wedge,\vee,\tu) of type (2,2,1)(2,2,1) is a Boolean algebra iff (L,,)(L,\wedge,\vee) is a non empty lattice and (xy)(xy\tu)=(xy)(xy\tu)(x\wedge y)\vee(x\wedge y\tu)=(x\vee y)\wedge(x\vee y\tu) for all x,yLx,y\in L. This provides a unique equation to encode distributivity and complementation on lattices.
