A Boolean algebra may, or may not, be complete (i.e, any set of elements has a sup and an inf) or atomic (i.e., every element is a sup of some set of atoms). Boolean Algebras that are complete as ...

It is well known the success of lattice dualities (as Pontryagin duality for abelian groups, Stone duality for Boolean algebras and Priestley duality for distributive lattices) to solve algebraic ...

For a monoidal category $(\mathcal{M},\otimes,1)$ and an object $X$ with a left dual $X^*$. Let $(e,c)$ be a pair of (co)evaluation maps for the pair $(X,X^*)$. Is it possible to have another map $c': ...

In the sequel, "$k$-algebra" means "associative unital finite dimensional $k$-algebra. Apologies for the very long exposition. If $A$ is a $k$-algebra and $s:A\to k$ is $k$-linear, we say that $s$ ...

Currently I am reading the book "Hopf Algebras. An Introduction" by S. Dascalescu, C. Nastasescu, S. Raianu. There is a Definition 1.5.20 on page 44 (boldface is mine): An algebra $A$ is called ...

Let $V$ be a finite dimensional vector space and $S(V)$ the corresponding symmetric algebra. Suppose that we have a Poisson bracket $\lambda = \{,\}: S(V) \otimes S(V) \to S(V)$. Let $V^*$ be the dual ...
