A question regarding equational bases of the theory of the commutative and associative prope...

Suppose we are working in the language of a binary operation symbol $*$. Let $S$ be a set of equations which generate precisely the same equational theory generated by the set containing the commutati …

Are there two equations with no equation strictly between them, but at least one quasi-equat...

I asked this question on Math Stack Exchange a while ago, but no one has responded yet. So, I am asking it here. Consider the signature of a single binary operation $+$, and consider the set $Eq$ of a …

Is there an identity between the commutative identity and the constant identity?

I asked this on Math Stack Exchange, but it didn't get a single answer. So, I am now asking it here. Let our signature be that of a single binary operation $+$. I define the constant identity to be $x …

Equational identities of unordered $n$-tuples

I asked this question on math stack exchange, but I did not get an answer, so I am asking it here. This question combines both universal algebra and set theory. Let $V$ be a model of ZFC set theory, l …

Is the partial order of all equations in the signature of magmas a lattice?

$\newcommand\Eq{\mathrm{Eq}}$I asked this question on math stack exchange, here, but there were no comments or answers. So, I am asking it here on mathoverflow. Consider the signature of a single bina …

Is there a finite equational basis for the join of the commutative and associative equations?

I asked this on math stack exchange, but I was told to post it on mathoverflow. Consider the lattice of equational theories of a single binary operation $*$. The meet of the theory axiomatized by the …

Is the class of power-associative binars finitely axiomatizable?

A binar is simply a set $S$ equipped with a single binary operation $*$. A power-associative binar is a binar where the subalgebra generated by a single element is associative. Equivalently, they can …

Equational theory in the signature (+,*,0,1) of sedenions and beyond

Consider a Cayley-Dickson algebra $(X,+,∗,0,1)$, that is an algebra generated from the reals by the Cayley-Dickson construction. From complexes to quaternions, we lose commutativity of multiplication, …

Is the equational theory of groups axiomatized by the associative law?

Consider the class of groups in the signature {*}. Is the equational theory of that class axiomatized by the associative law? I asked this on math stack exchange but I didn't receive a satisfactory an …
