Perfect MV-algebras are categorically equivalent to abelianl-groups

Antonio Di Nola, +1 more
- 01 Sep 1994 - 
TL;DR: It is proved that the category of abelianl-groups is equivalent to the categoryof perfect MV-algebras, and a finite equational axiomatization of the variety generated by perfect MV -algebraes is given.

Rewriting as a unified model of concurrency

TL;DR: The lecture given at the workshop was based on recent work published elsewhere [9, 10, 8, 7]. This abstract gives a brief description of the main results and ideas presented in that work, but does not provide any technical details; such details can be found in this article.

Computational aspects of the Mobius transformation of graphs

R. Kennes
TL;DR: It is proved that Mobius transformation algorithms are actually the best algorithms among a large class of algorithms, which have a polynomial routine, whereas the usual algorithms have an exponential routine.
Journal ArticleDOI

GL-equivariant modules over polynomial rings in infinitely many variables

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define and prove finiteness properties for analogues of Hilbert series, systems of parameters, depth, local cohomology, Koszul duality, and regularity.
