    About this ebook

    Contributions to Universal Algebra focuses on the study of algebra. The compilation first discusses the congruence lattice of pseudo-simple algebras; elementary properties of limit reduced powers with applications to Boolean powers; and congruent lattices of 2-valued algebras. The book further looks at duality for algebras; weak homomorphisms of stone algebras; varieties of modular lattices not generated by their finite dimensional members; and remarks on algebraic operations of stone algebras. The text describes polynomial normal forms and the embedding of polynomial algebras; coverings in the lattice of varieties; embedding semigroups in semigroups generated by idempotents; and endomorphism semigroups and subgroupoid lattices. The book also discusses a report on sublattices of a free lattice, and then presents the cycles in finite semi-distributive lattices; cycles in S-lattices; and summary of results. The text also describes primitive subsets of algebras, ideals, normal sets, and congruences, as well as Jacobson’s density theorem. The book is a good source for readers wanting to study algebra.
