Gr\"atzer and Lakser asked in the 1971 {\sl Transactions of the American Mathematical Society} if the pseudocomplemented distributive lattices in the amalgamation class of the subvariety generated by ${\bf 2}^n\oplus{\bf 1}$ can be…
We outline the theory of sets with distributive operations: multishelves and multispindles, with examples provided by semi-lattices, lattices and skew lattices. For every such a structure we define multi-term distributive homology and show…
All known structural extensions of the substructural logic $\mathsf{FL_e}$, Full Lambek calculus with exchange/commutativity, (corresponding to subvarieties of commutative residuated lattices axiomatized by $\{\vee, \cdot, 1\}$-equations)…
We study completions of Archimedean vector lattices relative to any nonempty set of positively-homogeneous functions on finite-dimensional real vector spaces. Examples of such completions include square mean closed and geometric closed…
Let $L$ be a finite lattice and let $I$ be an ideal of $L$. Then the restriction map is a bounded lattice homomorphism of the congruence lattice of~$L$ into the congruence lattice of $I$. In a 2009 paper, the authors proved the converse. In…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of a pseudo-irreducible filter in a residuated lattice and compare this concept with related notions such as prime and maximal filters. Then, we recall the Boolean lifting property for filters and…
A new model, in terms of finite bipartite graphs, of the free pseudosemilattice is presented. This will then be used to obtain several results about the variety SPS of all strict pseudosemilattices: (i) an identity basis for SPS is found,…
We show that a locally finite variety which omits abelian types is self-regulating if and only if it has a compatible semilattice term operation. Such varieties must have a type-set {5}. These varieties are residually small and, when they…
We provide a partial result on Taylor's modularity conjecture, and several related problems. Namely, we show that the interpretability join of two idempotent varieties that are not congruence modular is not congruence modular either, and we…
We show that property (T) is not profinite, that is, we construct two finitely generated residually finite groups which have isomorphic profinite completions while one admits property (T) and the other does not. This settles a question…
In this paper we define, inspired by ring theory, the class of maximal residuated lattices with lifting Boolean center and prove a structure theorem for them: any maximal residuated lattice with lifting Boolean center is isomorphic to a…
We construct the first example of a lattice on an irreducible Euclidean building that is not residually finite. Conjecturally, the normal subgroup theorem extends to this lattice making it virtually simple.
We show that all finite lattices, including non-distributive lattices, arise as stable matching lattices when all agents have path-independent choice functions. This result answers an open question of Blair~\cite{blair1988lattice}. In the…
We present several examples of hereditary classes of finite structures satisfying the joint embedding property and the weak amalgamation property, but failing the cofinal amalgamation property. These include a continuum-sized family of…
In this paper subvarieties of pseudocomplemented distributive lattices are classified by their unification type. We determine the unification type of every particular unification problem in each subvariety of pseudocomplemented distributive…
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 study the multiplication operation of square matrices over lattices. If the underlying lattice is distributive, then matrices form a semigroup; we investigate idempotent and nilpotent elements and the maximal subgroups of this matrix…
Residual finiteness is known to be an important property of groups appearing in combinatorial group theory and low dimensional topology. In a recent work [2] residual finiteness of quandles was introduced, and it was proved that free…
We introduce the concept of a quasiresiduated lattice and prove that every lattice effect algebra can be organized into a commutative quasiresiduated lattice with divisibility. Also conversely, every such a lattice can be converted into a…
In this paper, we show that the class of representable residuated semigroups has the finite representation property. That is, every finite representable residuated semigroup is representable over a finite base. This result gives a positive…
