On logically-geometric types of algebras
Abstract
The connection between classical model theoretical types (MT-types) and logically-geometrical types (LG-types) introduced by B. Plotkin is considered. It is proved that MT-types of two -tuples in two universal algebras coincide if and only if their LG-types coincide. An algebra is called logically perfect if for every two -tuples in whose types coincide, one can be sent to another by means of an automorphism of this algebra. Some sufficient condition for logically perfectness of free finitely generated algebras is given which helps to prove that finitely generated free Abelian groups, finitely generated free nilpotent groups and finitely generated free semigroups are logically perfect. It is proved that if two Abelian groups have the same type and one of them is finitely generated and free then these groups are isomorphic.
