Abstract

A theorem of Eilenberg establishes that there exists a bijection between the set of all varieties of regular languages and the set of all varieties of finite monoids. In this article after defining, for a fixed set of sorts SS and a fixed SS-sorted signature Σ\Sigma, the concepts of formation of congruences with respect to Σ\Sigma and of formation of Σ\Sigma-algebras, we prove that the algebraic lattices of all Σ\Sigma-congruence formations and of all Σ\Sigma-algebra formations are isomorphic, which is an Eilenberg's type theorem. Moreover, under a suitable condition on the free Σ\Sigma-algebras and after defining the concepts of formation of congruences of finite index with respect to Σ\Sigma, of formation of finite Σ\Sigma-algebras, and of formation of regular languages with respect to Σ\Sigma, we prove that the algebraic lattices of all Σ\Sigma-finite index congruence formations, of all Σ\Sigma-finite algebra formations, and of all Σ\Sigma-regular language formations are isomorphic, which is also an Eilenberg's type theorem.
