Perfect extensions of de Morgan algebras
Abstract
An algebra is called a perfect extension of its subalgebra if every congruence of has a unique extension to . This terminology was used by Blyth and Varlet [1994]. In the case of lattices, this concept was described by Gr\"atzer and Wehrung [1999] by saying that is a congruence-preserving extension of . Not many investigations of this concept have been carried out so far. The present authors in another recent study faced the question of when a de Morgan algebra is perfect extension of its Boolean subalgebra , the so-called skeleton of . In this note a full solution to this interesting problem is given. The theory of natural dualities in the sense of Davey and Werner [1983] and Clark and Davey [1998], as well as Boolean product representations, are used as the main tools to obtain the solution.
