The reticulation of an algebra $A$ is a bounded distributive lattice ${\cal L}(A)$ whose prime spectrum of filters or ideals is homeomorphic to the prime spectrum of congruences of $A$, endowed with the Stone topologies. We have obtained a…
It is known that by using the commutator operation, for each congruence modular algebra $A$ one can define a notion of prime congruence. The set $Spec(A)$ of prime congruences of $A$ is endowed with a Zariski style topology. The…
The commutator operation in a congruence-modular variety $\mathcal{V}$ allows us to define the prime congruences of any algebra $A\in \mathcal{V}$ and the prime spectrum $Spec(A)$ of $A$. The first systematic study of this spectrum can be…
In this article we prove a set of preservation properties of the reticulation functor for residuated lattices (for instance preservation of subalgebras, finite direct products, inductive limits, Boolean powers) and we transfer certain…
We know from a previous paper that the reticulation of a coherent quantale $A$ is a bounded distributive lattice $L(A)$ whose prime spectrum is homeomorphic to $m$ - prime spectrum of $A$. In this paper we shall prove several results on the…
We define lifting properties for universal algebras, which we study in this general context and then particularize to various such properties in certain classes of algebras. Next we focus on residuated lattices, in which we investigate…
In this paper we present some applications of the reticulation of a residuated lattice, in the form of a transfer of properties between the category of bounded distributive lattices and that of residuated lattices through the reticulation…
In this paper we study prime spectra of commutative BCK-algebras. We give a new construction for commutative BCK-algebras using rooted trees, and determine both the ideal lattice and prime ideal lattice of such algebras. We prove that the…
We prove a characterization of profinite algebras, i.e., topological algebras that are isomorphic to a projective limit of finite discrete algebras. In general profiniteness concerns both the topological and algebraic characteristics of a…
We introduce and study the Congruence Boolean Lifting Property (CBLP) for congruence--distributive universal algebras, as well as a property related to CBLP, which we have called $(\star )$. CBLP extends the so--called Boolean Lifting…
In previous work, we have introduced and studied a lifting property in congruence--distributive universal algebras which we have defined based on the Boolean congruences of such algebras, and which we have called the Congruence Boolean…
Certain operator algebras A on a Hilbert space have the property that every densely defined linear transformation commuting with A is closable. Such algebras are said to have the closability property. They are important in the study of the…
In ring theory, the lifting idempotent property (LIP) is related to some important classes of rings: clean rings, exchange rings, local and semilocal rings, Gelfand rings,maximal rings, etc. Inspired by LIP, there were defined lifting…
The Congruence Lattice Problem asks whether every algebraic distributive lattice is isomorphic to the congruence lattice of a lattice. It was hoped that a positive solution would follow from E. T. Schmidt's construction or from the approach…
We present a functorial construction which, starting from a congruence $\alpha$ of finite index in an algebra A, yields a new algebra C with the following properties: the congruence lattice of C is isomorphic to the interval of congruences…
We show that under certain conditions, well-studied algebraic properties transfer from the class $\mathcal{Q}_{_\text{RFSI}}$ of the relatively finitely subdirectly irreducible members of a quasivariety $\mathcal{Q}$ to the whole…
We prove that every distributive algebraic lattice with at most $\aleph\_1$ compact elements is isomorphic to the normal subgroup lattice of some group and to the submodule lattice of some right module. The $\aleph\_1$ bound is optimal, as…
Let $Q$ be a subset of a finite distributive lattice $D$. An algebra $A$ represents the inclusion $Q\subseteq D$ by principal congruences if the congruence lattice of $A$ is isomorphic to $D$ and the ordered set of principal congruences of…
Information algebras arise from the idea that information comes in pieces which can be aggregated or combined into new pieces, that information refers to questions and that from any piece of information, the part relevant to a given…
We prove that the lattice of ideals of an arbitrary $L$-algebra is distributive. As a consequence, a spectral theory applies with no restriction. We also study the spectrum (i.e. the set of prime ideals) of $L$-algebras and characterize…
