TL;DR: The notion of hyperdecidability has been introduced by the first author as a tool to prove decidability of semidirect products of pseudovarieties of semigroups as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: The notion of hyperdecidability has been introduced by the rst author as a tool to prove decidability of semidirect products of pseudovarieties of semigroups. In this paper we consider some stronger notions which lead to improved decidability results allowing us in turn to establish the decidability of some iterated semidirect products. Roughly speaking, the decidability of a semidirect product follows from a mild, commonly veriied property of the rst factor plus the stronger property for all the other factors. A key role in this study is played by intermediate free semigroups (relatively free objects of expanded type lying between relatively free and relatively free proonite objects). As an application of the main results, the decidability of the Krohn-Rhodes (group) complexity is shown to follow from non-algorithmic abstract properties likely to be satissed by the pseudovariety of all nite aperiodic semigroups, thereby suggesting a new approach to answer (aarmatively) the question as to whether complexity is decidable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied generalized primitive elements of free algebras of finite ranks with the Nielsen-Schreier property and their automorphic orbits, and proved that an endomorphism preserving an automomorphic orbit of a nonzero element of a free algebra of rank two is an automorphism.

TL;DR: The exponent of a variety of algebras over a field of characteristic zero has been recently proved to be an integer as mentioned in this paper, and it has been shown that the number of these minimal varieties is finite for any given exponent.
Abstract: The exponent of a variety of algebras over a field of characteristic zero has been recently proved to be an integer. Through this scale we can now classify all minimal varieties of given exponent and of finite basic rank. As a consequence, we describe the corresponding T-ideals of the free algebra and we compute the asymptotics of the related codimension sequences, verifying in this setting some known conjectures. We also show that the number of these minimal varieties is finite for any given exponent. We finally point out some relations between the exponent of a variety and the Gelfand–Kirillov dimension of the corresponding relatively free algebras of finite rank.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the collection of identities in two variables which hold in the algebra N of the natural numbers with constant zero, and binary operations of sum and maximum does not have a finite equational axiomatization.
Abstract: This paper shows that the collection of identities in two variables which hold in the algebra N of the natural numbers with constant zero, and binary operations of sum and maximum does not have a finite equational axiomatization. This gives an alternative proof of the nonexistence of a finite basis for N--a result previously obtained by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the exponential growth of the codimensions for the relatively free algebra satisfying Capelli identities was calculated. But this was only for the case where every positive integer is a sum of four squares.

TL;DR: In this paper, the results on primitive elements of free algebras of main types of Schreier varieties of algebra have been reviewed and a series of examples of almost primitive elements have been given.
Abstract: In this article, we review results on primitive elements of free algebras of main types of Schreier varieties of algebras. A variety of linear algebras over a field is Schreier if any subalgebra of a free algebra of this variety is free in the same variety of algebras. A system of elements of a free algebra is primitive if it is a subset of some set of free generators of this algebra. We consider free nonassociative algebras, free commutative and anti-commutative nonassociative algebras, free Lie algebras and superalgebras, and free Lie p-algebras and p-superalgebras. We present matrix criteria for systems of elements of elements. Primitive elements distinguish automorphisms: endomorphisms sending primitive elements to primitive elements are automorphisms. We give a series of examples of almost primitive elements (an element of a free algebra is almost primitive if it is not a primitive element of the whole algebra, but it is a primitive element of any proper subalgebra which contains it). We also consider generic elements and Δ-primitive elements.

TL;DR: This article characterizes free ternary algebras by giving necessary and sufficient conditions on a set X of free generators of a ternARY algebra L, so that X freely generates L.
Abstract: A ternary algebra is a bounded distributive lattice with additonal operations e and ~ that satisfies (a+b)~=a~b~, a~~=a, e≤a+a~, e~= e and 0~=1. This article characterizes free ternary algebras by giving necessary and sufficient conditions on a set X of free generators of a ternary algebra L, so that X freely generates L. With this characterization, the free ternary algebra on one free generator is displayed. The poset of join irreducibles of finitely generated free ternary algebras is characterized. The uniqueness of the set of free generators and their pseudocomplements is also established.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered algebraic combinatorics and combinatorial algebra over fields of prime characteristics and proved the elimination theorem for free partially commutative color Lie p-superalgebras.
Abstract: In this article we consider several aspects of algebraic combinatorics and combinatorial algebra over fields of prime characteristics. P-super-Radford theorem gives the structure of the free associative algebra over a field of prime characteristic with the new multiplication given by the super shuffle product, we show that this algebra is isomorphic to the reduced free super commutative algebra on s-regular words. We prove the elimination theorem for free partially commutative color Lie p-superalgebras and obtain a Schreier type formula for free Lie p-superalgebras using formal power series techniques.

TL;DR: Free algebras as mentioned in this paper are universal objects: every n-generated MV-algebra A is a homomorphic image of the free MV algebra Free n over n generators; if an equation is satisfied by Free n, then the equation is automatically satisfied by all MValgebraalgeses.
Abstract: Free algebras are universal objects: every n-generated MV-algebra A is a homomorphic image of the free MV-algebra Free n over n generators; if an equation is satisfied by Free n then the equation is automatically satisfied by all MV-algebras. As a consequence of the completeness theorem, Free n is easily described as an MV-algebra of piecewise linear continuous [0,1]-valued functions defined over the cube [0, 1] n . Known as McNaughton functions, they stand to MV-algebras as {0,1}-valued functions stand to boolean algebras. Many interesting classes of MV-algebras can be described as algebras of [0, l]-valued continuous functions over some compact Hausdorff space. The various representation theorems presented in this chapter all depend on our concrete representation of free MV-algebras.
