The Agda Universal Algebra Library (agda-algebras) is a library of types and programs (theorems and proofs) we developed to formalize the foundations of universal algebra in dependent type theory using the Agda programming language and…
We give a simple proof of the Birkhoff theorem about existence of a faithful representation for any finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra of characteristic zero.
Birkhoff's variety theorem, a fundamental theorem of universal algebra, asserts that a subclass of a given algebra is definable by equations if and only if it satisfies specific closure properties. In a generalized version of this theorem,…
Birkhoff's variety theorem from universal algebra characterises equational subcategories of varieties. We give an analogue of Birkhoff's theorem in the setting of enrichment in categories. For a suitable notion of an equational subcategory…
The validity conditions for the extended Birkhoff theorem in multidimensional gravity with $n$ internal spaces are formulated, with no restriction on space-time dimensionality and signature. Examples of matter sources and geometries for…
Garret Birkhoff's HSP theorem characterizes the classes of models of algebraic theories as those being closed with respect to homomorphic images, subalgebras, and products. In particular, it implies that an algebra $\mathbf{B}$ satisfies…
An algebraic theory, sometimes called an equational theory, is a theory defined by finitary operations and equations, such as the theories of groups and of rings. It is well known that algebraic theories are equivalent to finitary monads on…
A partial algebra construction of Gr\"atzer and Schmidt from "Characterizations of congruence lattices of abstract algebras" (Acta Sci. Math. (Szeged) 24 (1963), 34-59) is adapted to provide an alternative proof to a well-known fact that…
The purpose of the present paper is to show that: Eilenberg-type correspondences = Birkhoff's theorem for (finite) algebras + duality. We consider algebras for a monad T on a category D and we study (pseudo)varieties of T-algebras.…
One of the most fundamental mathematical contributions of Garrett Birkhoff is the HSP theorem, which implies that a finite algebra B satisfies all equations that hold in a finite algebra A of the same signature if and only if B is a…
An alternative proof of the completeness of relational algebra with respect to allowed formulas of first-order logic is presented. The proof relies on the well-known embedding of relational algebra into cylindric algebra, which makes it…
This paper introduces a model theory for resolution on Higher Order Hereditarily Harrop formulae (HOHH), the logic underlying the Lambda-Prolog programming language, and proves soundness and completeness of resolution. The semantics and the…
We introduce the notion of generalized bialgebra, which includes the classical notion of bialgebra (Hopf algebra) and many others. We prove that, under some mild conditions, a connected generalized bialgebra is completely determined by its…
In this paper a constructive formalization of quantifier elimination is presented, based on a classical formalization by Tobias Nipkow. The formalization is implemented and verified in the programming language/proof assistant Agda. It is…
It was shown recently that Birkhoff's theorem for doubly stochastic matrices can be extended to unitary matrices with equal line sums whenever the dimension of the matrices is prime. We prove a generalization of the Birkhoff theorem for…
A class of representations of a Lie superalgebra (over a commutative superring) in its symmetric algebra is studied. As an application we get a direct and natural proof of a strong form of the Poincare'-Birkhoff-Witt theorem, extending this…
We present a common framework to study varieties in great generality from a categorical point of view. The main application of this study is in the setting of algebraic categories, where we introduce Birkhoff varieties which are essentially…
We prove that the Birkhoff pointwise ergodic theorem and the Oseledets multiplicative ergodic theorem hold for every flat surface in almost every direction. The proofs rely on the strong law of large numbers, and on recent rigidity results…
The paper extends Birkhoff's theorem on doubly stochastic matrices to some countable families of discrete probability spaces with nonempty intersections. We join every two elements lying in the same probability space by an edge and…
