Abstract

An algebra A=A,,0\mathbf A = \langle A, \to, 0 \rangle, where \to is binary and 00 is a constant, is called an implication zroupoid (I\mathcal I-zroupoid, for short) if A\mathbf A satisfies the identities: (xy)z((zx)(yz))(x \to y) \to z \approx ((z' \to x) \to (y \to z)')' and 000'' \approx 0, where x:=x0x' : = x \to 0. An implication zroupoid is symmetric if it satisfies xxx'' \approx x and (xy)(yx)(x \to y')' \approx (y \to x')'. The variety of symmetric I\mathcal I-zroupoids is denoted by S\mathcal S. We began a systematic analysis of weak associative laws of length 4\leq 4 in [CS16e], by examining the identities of Bol-Moufang type in the context of the variety S\mathcal S. In this paper we complete the analysis by investigating the rest of the weak associative laws of length 4\leq 4 relative to S\mathcal S. We show that, of the 155 subvarieties of S\mathcal S defined by the weak associative laws of size 4\leq 4, there are exactly 66 distinct ones. We also give an explicit description of the poset of the (distinct) subvarieties of S\mathcal S defined by weak associative laws of length 4\leq 4.
