CHAPTER 7

SECOND ALGEBRAIZATION

In our first method of algebraization we used the mapping U V P . which assigns to each F of a relational type the Iw-operation U U P F = & {SF: s < w } . In our second method of algebraization, which will now be presented, we shall use the mapping 3 of ch. 3, which assigns to each F of a relational type the w-operation dF. This mapping also commutes with substitutions. From theoperations icpiin /L,i,dleadstothesetTj" = {Gjcpj: icpi E [L,:}. which in turn gives rise to clG* :L,:, the closure of '*w 'j L, i under substitutions. We shall give two sets of generators for cl d*'i L, i. T h e first of these Y,D , Ci, Q, P : 0 d i < w } of w-operations, will be the set {+, *,-, where each operation in the set is defined as the corresponding Iwoperation was defined in ch. 2 except that in place o f t = '"U one now uses Y = '"U.The second set will be described presently. The correspondence between the function symbols of L,, and the operations in the first generating set induces a mapping of the set of terms of L, onto the set clD" / L, i. We let \Lp4\ be L,, together with this induced mapping and \ T\ the w-operation into which 7 is thus mapped. For the effective mapping tm of the formulas of L, into terms of L,, which was defined in ch. 2 we shall show that\rmcp\= &:pi. Hence, if icpi = i+[, then \tmcp\=\tm+\. T h e converse does not always hold since 3 is not 1- 1, nor even practically 1- 1. However, the weaker assertion holds that if F and G .are of the same relational type then GF = 3 C implies F = C . Thus, if cp and JI are of the same relational type, then\rmcp\=\rm+\if and only if icpi = i+i. Thus the mapping tm is an interpretation of i L,i in\ LPq\which is not fully faithful, but faithful enough to reduce problems of validity for i L,: to problems of validity for \ Lw\. For the second set of generators for c/G*i L, we shall define a mapping with similar properties. I

We shall also characterize cI5;"i L a / more directly as Gr: red* ; L a ; , the set of w-successors of Iw-operations which are reducible to some icp i. Compactness and definability will be discussed briefly. We conclude ch. 7 by giving two sets of generators for IL,I which are closely related to the second set of generators for \ Lpq\. For any set I, a trunsformation (on I) shall be any function a such that dom a = I and ran a G I . Composition, or product formation, involving transformations will henceforth be often denoted by juxtaposition, although at times the product ( a ( p ( i ) ) :i E I ) = { ( a ( p ( i ) )i): , i E I } of the transformations a and p will also be crop. Thus, if f = (J;,,fr ,...) is in "U and a = ( a ( O ) , a ( ] ),...) - ( a o ,a I, ...) and p = ( p (0) ,p( 1 ) , ...) are transformations on w, thenfashall be(f,,,,,, f ( ~ ,andapshall ~ . . - )b e ( a ( P ( O ) ) , a ( P ( l ) ) , ...) = (am).a B ( 1 ) .

...>.

We let a be an ciirnost constunt s h i f , or a E Acs, if and only if a is a transformation on w and there is some k in w such that a ( k + n ) = a ( & ) n for every n in w . Let a be any transformation on w . We now introduce two l-ary w-operations. Of these, (Sa)has been investigated by Halmos [ 131, while ( T a ) is induced by the converse of the relation { ( f , f a ):f E X} which induces (Sa).H e r e 1 = " U and X C R:

+

( S a ) X = { f E &fa E X } . (Ta)X={ f a : f X ~ } = { g : g = f a f o r s o m e f E X}. The second set which will be shown to generate cl'Tj*iL,i is the , 9 = Acs. set {+, ., -,$, (Sa),( T a ) :a E Y } where We now proceed to give details. As in ch. 3, we let Z F = Ti tre F whenever n s w and F is of a relational type. It follows that for any F of type (rOis,,, one can characterize "wF as that rn-ary o-operation which for any argument ( X i )Isism satisfies: (13) For any h E " U , 'W

(('TjF)(Xi)lsis,,l)wh = F("U .X;h),~i~,,t.

Now let F and G be of the same type Consider any argu. any h E "U and, for 1 s i s rn, let X i = Yi h ment ( Y i ) , s i s m Take = { g - h : g E Y , } . Then YJ . X i - h = Y i , 1 d i s rn. Hence, for any g E ' " U , g-h E ( Z j F ) ( X i ) l s i s m if and only if g E F ( Y J l S i s m ; similarly for C. Thus we have shown: I

LEMMA 7.1: If F and G are of the same relutional type and if F = G.

TjF = "OG,then

T h e condition that F and G are of the same relational type cannot be omitted from 7.1. For example, if F if any of the operations C.,1 ,+I+!-' then & F is the w-operation Ci. Also, for each r < w, if F is t r , . t r , or r , then ZF is the w-operation ., or - respectively. We now let 12 be the n-ary w-operation satisfying for each argument (Xj)lcjsn the condition I>(Xj)lsjsn = X k and, for any S C " U , we let K.;!' be the n-ary w-operation satisfying for each argument (Xj)jsn the condition K,k!l(Xj)lsjsn = S . Note that if R G ' U is taken as a 0-ary operation of type ( r ) , then GR = {g-h: g E R and h E " U } . For w-operations and sets of these we define cl and related notions by making the obvious changes in the definitions given in ch. 1. T h e proof of part (a) of the following analogue of 2.2 and of 3.2 is similar to the proofs for these. The other parts are obvious.

LEMMA7.2: Let F be of type (ri)ism,for 1 < i < m let G i be of " U , ..., Y,, G " U . Then: type (Ti, s,, ...,s,) = (ri)-f, and let Y , (a) ( " w ( F ( G i ( X j ) , s , , , ) , s i s , n : X jC "'Ufor 1 <.j d n))(Yj),sjs,e = (&F) ( G G i ) ( Y j )1s j s n ) I s i s m (b) For any s,, und R E "'U, sjKY( = dK::,., = K:it.

T h e condition that F , G I , ..., G,,, are of suitable relational type cannot be omitted from 7.2. For example, let F be tre-rr, and let G = G, be tre-rr+t. Then Z F and "OG are the w-operation -, so that ( G F ) { ( G G ) ( Y ) )= Yforeach Y C " U . O n t h e o t h e r h a n d . F ( G ( X ) ) - F(-,r+i("+'U . X ) ) = - t r ( " U . ("'U .-A')) = - t r @ = "U for '"U))(Y) = "U for each each X C '"U, so that ( G ( F ( G ( X ) ) : X Y "U. For w-operations we now define w-quusiterm, the m-ary and v-ary w-operation \ 6 \ denoted by an w-quasiterm 6 ,etc. as these notions were defined in ch. 2 for lo-operations and for operations of relational similarity types. Then a proof similar to that of 2.4, except that no analogue of 2.l(c) is needed and that 6 may be a quasivariable, yields the following theorem.

Unless noted otherwise. we now let +, -,-,A', D , C j ,Q , P , D j j , and Si be those w-operations which are defined as the corresponding lo-operations were defined in ch. 2, except that k = "U is now used instead o f Y = '"U.

Next, we turn to the set Acs, which will be used for defining the second generating set. For any index set I and any i and j in I , we let (ilj), the rc~plticrmentof i by j, be that transformation on I which satisfies ( i / j ) n = n i f n # iand ( i / j ) n = j i f n = i.Wealsolet ( i , j ) i = j , ( i , j ) j = i , and ( i , j )n = n if i # n # j . The I concerned will often be taken as understood. We let (+ I ) be that transformation on w which satisfies ( + l ) n = n+ 1 for each n in o.We let (-1) be that transformation on w which satisfies (- 1) n = n - 1 if n > 0 and 1) n = 0 if n = 0. We let (0; 1 ) = I ) , and for any r in o we let ( r + 1 ; 1 ) betheproduct ( r ; - l ) ~ ( r + l / r + 2 ) . T h e n ( r ; - l ) n = n i f n s rand 1 ) = ~ n - 1 if I Z > r. Finally for any I , any transformation a on (r; 1. and any t in w we let a" = a and at' I = a' a. In the next lemma. cl is closure under composition. 0

LEMMA 7.5: Acs = ci { ( + I ) , (L I ) , (i/j) : i < w , j < w } . Pro($ Clearly, ( + l ) , ( L 1 ) . and all (ilj), where i < w and j < w, are in Acs. Now consider any a in Acs. There is some k < w such that a k t,, = ak++nfor every n < w and such that, in addition, if k' < k, then ak' < ak. Let t 2 ak and let p = (t/ao) ( ( t l ) / a , )0 ( ( t+k . . .) ) o (+ 1 1'.

THEOREM 7.6: The set (+, *, - , X , (Sa), ( T a ): a E Acs} generates clZ* /La;. Proof: Consider any X C W. If i # j then ( S ( i / j ) ) X= C,(D,,. X ) and ( T ( i / j ) ) X= D,, * C,X, and if i = j then ( S ( i / j ) ) X= ( T ( i / j ) ) X =X.Also, ( S ( + I ) ) X = Q X a n d (T(+l))X=PX.Further,(S(-1))X = P(D . X) and ( T ( - 1 ) ) X= D . QX. Finally ( S a p ) X = (Sa)( S p ) X and ( T a p ) X = ( T p )( T a ) X . It follows from 7.5 that c l { + , .,-,A’, (Sa),( T a ) :a E Acs} is included in c l { + , D , C , , Q, P : i < a}. For the other inclusion we observe that D = (T(0/1)) ( S ( O / l ) ) d , C,X = ( S ( i / i + 1 ) ) ( T ( i / i + 1))X and again that QX = ( S ( + I ) ) X and PX = ( T ( + 1 ) ) X. T h e theorem then follows from 7 . 4 . 0 a,-,,?,

In particular, the mapping of formulas in standard form which one is first inclined to use will not work. For example, x(v,,) would be but not mapped into x, and 3,,x(v0) into cIx.Now ix(vll)/= /3,,x(vo)~ \x\= \ c,x\. We now turn to the task of characterizing \ L,\ = \ L.4rs\ more directly.

Let 8' be the w-quasiterm which results from 6 when each t r e G is replaced by G C . Then \6'\ belongs to (.I G:::S. By 7.3, \8'\=W-i A = Z ( t r e / A : ) .

By induction one shows that to each occurrence of any GH in 6'one can assign an s < w such that, given any occurrence of a subquasiterm (DH)-b,^... -6, in a', if H is of type 1 S i S m,ai begins with TjG, G is of a type (s~)~~?,, r has been assigned to the occurrence of 3H being considered, and s has been assigned to the occurrence of G being considered, then s,, s = ri r. Let 6 be the Iw-quasiterm which results from 6'by replacing each particular occurrence of any G H by 3H, where s is the number that has been assigned to this occurrelice of &H. Since no quasivariable occurs in 6 more than once, there is a quasiterm A of a relational type such that A yields 6 by the replacement of each G by tre G. Then GI61 = G ( t r e / A j ) = \ 6 ' \ by the analogue for tre of 2.3, and by 7.3 and 3.l(b), respectively. By the assumption on S, each 2H in 6 is tre G for some G E S, so that 161 E cl ?re* S. Now consider any n-ary F E clZ*S. Then there is some w-quasiterm 6' of the kind just considered and there are Zi,, 1 i < m , such that F ( Yj)lsjsn = \6'\(Z~~~(Yj)lSjsn)lsism for each Y, C " U , ..., Y , C " U .

F o r each a in Acs t andfin I"U, the set { i : a ( i ) E d o m f } is an initial segment of w and hencefa is in IWU.Thus for each a in Acs t one can define lo-operations ('Sa)and ('Ta) as (Sa)and ( T a ) were defined at the beginning of ch. 7 , except that one now lets,= /' IWU. T h e next theorem gives a set of generators for I L,I, which is closely related to the set of generators for\ L,\ that was given in 7.6. The Boolean operations involved are, of course, lo-operations.

THEOREM 7.11: ILwI=cl{+,.,-,X, ( ' S a ) , ('Ta): a E A c s ? } ., -,I,('Sa), ( ' T a ) : a E { (+ 1) } + { ( i / i+ 1 ) : i E w } } . Proof.

(A more direct proof can be given by showing, with methods similar to those in the proof of 7.5, thatAc.7 t = (.I{(+ l ) , (A I ) , ( i / i + I ) , ( i + l / i ) :0 d i < w } . ) Evidently, the second set of the theorem includes the third. 0 Unfortunately, an axiomatic approach to ILpqlwhich takes the operations ('Sa)and ( ' T a ) , a E Acs T , as primitive does not look promising. Mainly. ( ' S a ) ( Ta)( ' 'Sp)('T p ) and ('Sp)('T p ) (' S t y ) ( ' T a ) often differ.

This failure of commutativity is caused by sequences f and g in IWUforwhichfo( i / i + I ) = g o ( i / i + l ) a n d y e t d o m f = { O , . . . , i - I } # (0, ..., i - I , i } = dorn g . This suggests that, given a transformation a in Acs, we restrict ourselves to certainfa. T h e restriction will be carried out by choosing a certain number t h r a , the threshold for a, and letting & be the function which satisfies (i) d o m & = C { " U : n 2 t h r a } , a n d (ii) if f E d o m n , then &( f ) =fa = ( ( 1 4 , i): a ( i ) E dom f and f ( a ( i ) )= 1 4 ) . It is desirable to choose the values thr a so as to satisfy the following four conditions: (iii) run & 1 " ~ ; (iv) if & ( f ) = & ( g ) ,then dom f = dqm g ; (v) iff E dorn & and & ( f ) E dom @, thenf E dom ap; (vi) i f f E dom & and if i # j but a ( i ) = a ( j ) ,then a ( ; ) E dom f a n d h e n c e i E d o m & ( f )a n d j E d o m & ( f ) .

these conditions. For any a in Acs we therefore pick the least k which satisfies both (i)' a ( k + m ) = a ( k ) + m f o r e v e r y m < wand (ii)' a ( k ' ) < a ( k ) for every k' < k, and then let thr a = a ( k ) . One can verify that k satisfies (iii), ..., (vii). For any a in Acs we now introduce the following two lo-operations, distinguishing them from the corresponding o-operations of 7.6, which will be used much more often, by means of context: (Sa)X=

{fi&(f) E X } = { f E C { " U : n 2

( T a ) X = { & ( f ) : f ~ X } = { f i E C { W : a ( m )2 t h r a } : f E X } .

Then thr a = 1, dom (x = C n b 1) = Q x a n d i f n 2 1 a n d f = (fo,fi, ...,f n - l ) i s i n " U t h e n & ( f ) = (fi, ..., f,-,).Then (Sa)is the lo-operation Q and ( T a ) the lo-operation P . Now let a = ( j / i ) where j # i. Then t h r a = mrtx(i,j) 1 , dom & = Qmfrsci~j'+l,K (Sa)is the lo-operation Sf, and (Ta).Y is the lo-operation Dji. Assigning the above lo-operations (Sa)and ( T a ) to ( s a ) and (ta) respectively, we obtain in the now familiar way for each term 7 of LACS an lo-operation 171. We let I LACS/ be LA,, together with this interpretation of its terms. Often, IL,,,I will be simply the set of these is the set of lo-operations lo-operations 171. I n the latter sense, lLAcSl which is generated by {+, *, -,X,(Sa),( T a ): a E Acs}.

THEOREM 7.12. I LAC,/= I L, I. Proofi One can verify that C , , X = - Q X . X + Q P X and C,+,X = --Q'+'X*X+ ( S ( i / i - 1 ) ) ( T ( i / i - -1 ) ) X . It follows from the illustra= cl{+, .,--,A', (Sa),( T a ) : a E Acs} tions given above that lLAcSl includes I L, I. T h e other inclusion follows from 3.1 I. 0 An axiomatization of lLAcSlusing the primitives suggested by the preceding discussion has not been undertaken but may be worthwhile. In applications, it would have the advantage over E,, that translations from L, would be simpler. Also, by 8.6 and 9.18 below, it would yield a subtheory, evidently proper, of the theory yielded by the axiom set TBACsof ch. 9, and thus might add to our understanding of it.
