A strongly Fregean algebra is an algebra such that the class of its homomorphic images is Fregean and the variety generated by this algebra is congruence modular. To understand the structure of these algebras we study the prime intervals…
For a restricted Lie algebra $L$, the conditions under which its restricted enveloping algebra $u(L)$ is semiperfect are investigated. Moreover, it is proved that $u(L)$ is left (or right) perfect if and only if $L$ is finite-dimensional.
A strong submeasure on a compact metric space X is a sub-linear and bounded operator on the space of continuous functions on X. A strong submeasure is positive if it is non-decreasing. By Hahn-Banach theorem, a positive strong submeasure is…
A variety V is said to be coherent if any finitely generated subalgebra of a finitely presented member of V is finitely presented. It is shown here that V is coherent if and only if it satisfies a restricted form of uniform deductive…
In this paper we discuss the existence of a control measure for a family of measures on a Boolean algebra. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition and several related results, including a new criterion for weak compactness for…

It is shown that universal algebras that are injective in their equational classes are characterized by internal property that can be called completeness. We define universal algebra $A$ as complete (closed to simple extensions) if for each…
We present a collection of observations and results concerning submeasures on Boolean algebras. They are all motivated by Maharam's problem and Talagrand's construction that solved it.
Let the measure algebra of a topological group be equipped with the topology of uniform convergence on bounded right uniformly equicontinuous sets of functions. Convolution is separately continuous on the measure algebra, and it is jointly…
A uniform algebra $A$ on its Shilov boundary $X$ is {\em maximal} if $A$ is not $C(X)$ and there is no uniform algebra properly contained between $A$ and $C(X)$. It is {\em essentially pervasive} if $A$ is dense in $C(F)$ whenever $F$ is a…
An $n\times n$ symmetric matrix $A$ is copositive if the quadratic form $x^TAx$ is nonnegative on the nonnegative orthant. The cone of copositive matrices strictly contains the cone of completely positive matrices, i.e., all matrices of the…
Complete Boolean algebras proved to be an important tool in topology and set theory. Two of the most prominent examples are B(kappa), the algebra of Borel sets modulo measure zero ideal in the generalized Cantor space {0,1}^kappa equipped…
Reduction of a state of a quantum system to a subsystem gives partial quantum information about the true state of the total system. Two subalgebras A1 and A2 of B(H) are called complementary if the traceless subspaces of A1 and A2 are…
A Souslin algebra is a complete Boolean algebra whose main features are ruled by a tight combination of an antichain condition with an infinite distributive law. The present article divides into two parts. In the first part a representation…
We prove that for any superatomic Boolean Algebra of cardinality >beth_omega there is an automorphism moving uncountably many atoms. Similarly for larger cardinals. Any of those results are essentially best possible.
Let $Q$ denote the space of signed measures on the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of a separable complete space $X$. We endow $Q$ with the norm $\|q\|=\sup|\int\phi dq|$, where the supremum is taken over all Lipschitz with constant 1 functions…
We give a simple method for constructing commutative Frechet algebras which admit two inequivalent Frechet algebra topologies. The result is applied to show that the action of any non-algebraic analytic function may fail to be uniquely…
The regular open subsets of a topological space form a Boolean algebra, where the `join' of two regular open sets is the interior of the closure of their union. A `credence' is a finitely additive probability measure on this Boolean…
In this note we give an axiomatization of Boolean algebras based on weakly dicomplemented lattices: an algebra $(L,\wedge,\vee,\tu)$ of type $(2,2,1)$ is a Boolean algebra iff $(L,\wedge,\vee)$ is a non empty lattice and $(x\wedge…
We introduce the notion of amenability for affine algebras. We characterize amenability by Folner-sequences, paradoxicality and the existence of finitely invariant dimension-measures. Then we extend the results of Rowen on ranks, from…
