Abstract

If XX is a closure space with closure KK, we consider the semilattice (P(X),)(\mathcal P(X), \cup) endowed with further relations xy1,y2,,yn x \sqsubseteq y_1, y_2, \dots, y_n (a distinct n+1n+1-ary relation for each n1n \geq 1), whose interpretation is xKy1Ky2Kynx \subseteq Ky_1 \cup Ky_2 \cup \dots \cup Ky_n . We present axioms for such "multi-argument specialization semilattices" and show that this list of axioms is complete for substructures, namely, every model satisfying the axioms can be embedded into some structure originated by some closure space as in the previous sentence. We also provide a canonical embedding of a multi-argument specialization semilattice into (the reduct of) some closure semilattice.

Comments

Similar to arXiv:2201.09083 and arXiv:2207.11745 but treats the case of $n$-ary "specializations"
