In this paper we prove undecidability of finite systems of equations in free Lie algebras of rank at least three over an arbitrary field. We show that the ring of integers Z is interpretable by positive existential formulas in such free Lie algebras over a field of characteristic zero.

We axiomatize the notion of state over finitely generated free NM-algebras, the Lindenbaum algebras of pure Nilpotent Minimum logic. We show that states over the free n-generated NM-algebra NM n exactly correspond to integrals of elements of NM n with respect to Borel probability measures.

We introduce degree n Sabinin algebras, which are defined by the polynomial identities up to degree n in a Sabinin algebra. Degree 4 Sabinin algebras can be characterized by the polynomial identities satisfied by the commutator, associator and two quaternators in the free nonassociative algebra. We consider these operations in a free power associative algebra and show that one of the quaternato...

There is considered the concept of the so-called free system of algebras for an ultraclosed class of algebras of a fixed arithmetic type. Certain free systems exist for such a class if and only if the class is defined by finite disjunctions of identities where the operational symbols are interpreted as operational variables for fundamental operations of an algebra.

Using actions of the free monoids and free associative algebras, we establish some Schreier-type formulas involving the ranks of actions and the ranks of subactions in free actions or Grassmann-type relations for the ranks of intersections of subactions of free actions. The coset action of the free group is used to establish the generalization of the Schreier formula to the case of subgroups of...

Finite-dimensional square-freeK-algebras have been completely characterized by Anderson and D’Ambrosia as certain semigroup algebras A ∼= KξS over a square-free semigroup S twisted by some ξ ∈ Z (S,K), a two-dimensional cocycle of S with coefficients in the group of units K∗ of K. D’Ambrosia extended the definition of square-free to artinian rings with unity and showed every square-free ring ha...

It is proved that the following conditions are equivalent: (a) there exists a complete, atomless, σ–centered Boolean algebra, which does not contain any regular, atomless, countable subalgebra, (b) there exists a nowhere dense ultrafilter on ω. Therefore the existence of such algebras is undecidable in ZFC. In ”forcing language” condition (a) says that there exists a non– trivial σ–centered for...

This article is a survey of selected results on the structure of free algebraic systems obtained during the past 50 years. The focus is on ways free algebras can be decomposed into simpler components and how the number of components and the way the components interact with each other can be readily determined. A common thread running through the exposition is a concrete method of representing a...

In a series of papers [2, 3, 4, 5], B. Efimov has given sufficient conditions for a Boolean algebra to have a free subalgebra of given cardinality. For example, he has shown that if an infinite Boolean algebra A has cardinality greater than exp exp exp v, but the supremum of the cardinalities of subsets of disjoint elements in A is not greater than v, then A has a free subalgebra with (exp v) i...

We study ideals of Novikov algebras and Novikov structures on finite-dimensional Lie algebras. We present the first example of a three-step nilpotent Lie algebra which does not admit a Novikov structure. On the other hand we show that any free three-step nilpotent Lie algebra admits a Novikov structure. We study the existence question also for Lie algebras of triangular matrices. Finally we sho...
