Undecidability of representability for lattice-ordered semigroups and ordered complemented semigroups

Logic 2015-03-17 v2

Abstract

We prove that the problems of representing a finite ordered complemented semigroup or finite lattice-ordered semigroup as an algebra of binary relations over a finite set are undecidable. In the case that complementation is taken with respect to a universal relation, this result can be extended to infinite representations of ordered complemented semigroups.
