A Note on Atom Structures of Relation and Cylindric Algebras
RRA stands for the class of representable relation algebras, while RCAn stands for the class of cylindric algebras of dimension n. We give a simple new proof to the following. 1. There exist two atomic relation algebras with the same atom structure, only one of which is representable. 2. RRA is not closed under completions and is not atom-canonical. 3. There exists a non-representable relation ...
متن کاملAtom Structures of Cylindric Algebras and Relation Algebras
For any finite n ≥ 3 there are two atomic n-dimensional cylindric algebras with the same atom structure, with one representable, the other, not. Hence, the complex algebra of the atom structure of a representable atomic cylindric algebra is not always representable, so that the class RCAn of representable n-dimensional cylindric algebras is not closed under completions. Further, it follows by a...

متن کاملSplitting methods in algebraic logic in connection to non-atom–canonicity and non-first order definability
We deal with various splitting methods in algebraic logic. The word ‘splitting’ refers to splitting some of the atoms in a given relation or cylindric algebra each into one or more subatoms obtaining a bigger algebra, where the number of subatoms obtained after splitting is adjusted for a certain combinatorial purpose. This number (of subatoms) can be an infinite cardinal. The idea originates w...
متن کاملBare canonicity of representable cylindric and polyadic algebras
We show that for finite n ≥ 3, every first-order axiomatisation of the varieties of representable n-dimensional cylindric algebras, diagonal-free cylindric algebras, polyadic algebras, and polyadic equality algebras contains an infinite number of non-canonical formulas. We also show that the class of structures for each of these varieties is non-elementary. The proofs employ algebras derived fr...
