From Multirelations to Meet-Relations: A Relational Duality for Semilattices with Adjunctions

We develop a relational duality for semilattices with adjunctions (SLatas) based on binary meet-relations. First, we introduce the category of MoS-spaces and establish a dual equivalence with modal semilattices. Then, by means of A-relations, we define the category RelSP and prove a dual equivalence between SLata and RelSP. To compare this framework with the multirelational semantics previously developed for SLatas, we introduce the notion of normal mS-space and show that, under this condition, the multirelational structure can be canonically recovered from a meet-relation, and conversely. As a consequence, we prove that the categories RelSP and SLataSp are isomorphic.

From coextensive varieties to the Gaeta topos

In this paper, we show that in every coextensive variety V, the assignment that maps each algebra to its set of central elements is both functorial and representable. Furthermore, we prove that the full subcategory of finitely presented algebras in V is coextensive. Finally, we establish that if V is additionally (0, 1)-dense, the Gaeta topos classifies central-free V-models.

Extended Contact Algebras: Algebraic analysis and duality theory

The ternary extended contact relation was introduced in (Ivanova, 2020) as a more expressive counterpart of the standard binary contact relation. The class of Boolean algebras expanded with the relation was named Extended Contact Algebras (ECAs). In this work, we take an algebraic perspective on ECAs, interpreting the ternary relation as a form of entailment. We introduce Pseudo-Inference Algebras, purely algebraic tructures where the ternary relation is replaced by a monotone ternary operator, capturing the logical character of extended contact. We show that the subclass of relational Pseudo-Inference Algebras corresponds precisely to ECAs and generates a subvariety of strict PSI-Algebras, which forms a discriminator variety. Furthermore, we extend Stone duality to this ternary context, introducing descriptive PSI-frames and establishing three interrelated dualities that differ in their morphisms while sharing the same class of topological objects. The framework developed in the paper provides a nified relational semantics for Boolean algebras equipped with monotone ternary operators, connecting spatial and logical notions within a categorical and topological setting.

Tense operators on distributive lattices with implication

Inspired by the definition of tense operators on distributive lattices presented by Chajda and Paseka in 2015, in this paper, we introduce and study the variety of tense distributive lattices with implication and we prove that these are categorically equivalent to a full subcategory of the category of tense centered Kleene algebras with implication. Moreover, we apply such an equivalence to describe the congruences of the algebras of each variety by means of tense 1-filters and tense centered deductive systems, respectively.

A Pierce Representation Theorem for varieties with BFC

We generalize the Pierce representation theorem for (commutative) rings with unit to other algebraic categories with Definable Factor Congruences by using tools from topos theory. Of independent interest, we prove that an algebraic category with right existential definable factor congruences is coextensive if and only if has center stable by complements.
