This monograph is devoted to the investigation of metric Boolean spaces that are of finite type. The first part contains uniqueness and existence theorems that reduce the study of the spaces under consideration to an investigation of the corresponding algebras [Fraktur capital]A(X). These algebras are characterized by identities, and they are referred to as topological Boolean algebras. In part two, the decompositions of a space X (of the kind under consideration) into disjoint unions and topological products are considered. These decompositions are related to corresponding algebraic decompositions of [Fraktur capital]A(X). Part three is devoted to the development of a duality theory for topological Boolean algebras.
The second volume of a pair that charts relation algebras from novice to expert level, this text brings the well-grounded reader to the frontiers of research. Building on the foundations established in the preceding Introduction to Relation Algebras, this volume advances the reader into the deeper mathematical results of the past few decades. Such material offers an ideal preparation for research in relation algebras and Boolean algebras with operators. Arranged in a modular fashion, this text offers the opportunity to explore any of several areas in detail; topics include canonical extensions, completions, representations, varieties, and atom structures. Each chapter offers a complete accou...
This volume contains the proceedings of a conference on abelian groups held in August 1993 at Oberwolfach. The conference brought together forty-seven participants from all over the world and from a range of mathematical areas. Experts from model theory, set theory, noncommutative groups, module theory, and computer science discussed problems in their fields that relate to abelian group theory. This book provides a window on the frontier of this active area of research.
A 30-article volume, introducing an active and attractive part of algebra that has gained much from its position at the crossroads of mathematics over the years. The papers stimulate the reader to consider and actively investigate the topics and problems they contain.
For many people there is life after 40; for some mathematicians there is algebra after Galois theory. The objective ofthis book is to prove the latter thesis. It is written primarily for students who have assimilated substantial portions of a standard first year graduate algebra textbook, and who have enjoyed the experience. The material that is presented here should not be fatal if it is swallowed by persons who are not members of that group. The objects of our attention in this book are associative algebras, mostly the ones that are finite dimensional over a field. This subject is ideal for a textbook that will lead graduate students into a specialized field of research. The major theorems...
