Free algebra as colimit of a chain

• In many cases, a variety (VL)− of reducts iswell-understood and locally finite, e.g.:

• Modal algebras = Boolean algebras + ^,

• Heyting algebras = Distributive lattices +→,

• . . .

• Regard FVL(x1, . . . , xn) as colimit of a chain of finitealgebras in the reduced signature, and add the additionaloperation(s) step-by-step:

Research Question

· · ·Bn· · ·B1B0

Can Bn+1 be obtained from Bn by a uniform method?

• Yes, if the variety is defined by pure rank 1 equations[N. Bezhanishvili, Kurz]

• Yes, in some particular cases outside this class: S4 modalalgebras [Ghilardi], Heyting algebras [Ghilardi, N.Bezhanishvili & Gehrke].

• Not always, since logics can be undecidable.

• We give general sufficient conditions under which this ispossible (known cases follow as particular instances).

Partial algebras

• In the chain, Bn+1 is a partial algebra, where the domainof the operation f is Bn.

• The variety V is contained in a category pV of partialalgebras for the variety V.

• A homomorphism h : A → B of partial algebras is afunction which preserves all total operations, andpreserves the partial operation f whenever defined.

• A homomorphism h : A → B is image-total if the image ofh is contained in the domain of fB .

Free image-total functorMain theorem

TheoremLet η : 1→ F be a free image-total functor and A0 ∈ pV. Let Aω

be the partial algebra-colimit of the image-total chain{ηFn(A0) : Fn(A0)→ Fn+1(A0)}n≥0.If Aω is in V, then Aω is the free total V-algebra over A0.

Proof.Category-theoretic arguments. �

Now, to apply this theorem:

• We construct a free image-total functor for any set ofquasi-equations,

• We give sufficient conditions under which Aω ∈ V.

Free image-total functorLemma

LemmaFE is a free image-total functor with universal arrow η.Furthermore, if A0 ∈ pV is such that each componentηFnE(A0) : Fn

E(A0)→ Fn+1

E(A0) is an embedding, then Aω ∈ V.

Proof.Uses universal algebra for partial algebras. �

CorollaryIf A0 ∈ pV is such that each componentηFnE(A0) : Fn

E(A0)→ Fn+1

E(A0) is an embedding, then Aω is the

free total V-algebra over A0.
