Tests for injectivity in finitely generated universal Horn classes (Q923074): Difference between revisions

Let \({\mathfrak K}\) be a class of L-algebras. An algebra \(A\in {\mathfrak K}\) is called injective in \({\mathfrak K}\) if for every \(B\in {\mathfrak K}\) and every subalgebra C of B each homomorphism \(\phi: C\to A\) is extended to a homomorphism \({\bar \phi}\): \(B\to A\). In the first part of the paper the author considers the universal Horn class ISP(A), generated by a finite algebra A, and finds conditions under which A is injective in ISP(A). In the second part of the paper, he deals with the class-property ``\({\mathfrak K}\) has enough injectives'', which is the property ``Every algebra in \({\mathfrak K}\) has an injective in \({\mathfrak K}\) extension'', and proves that: 1. One can effectively decide if the universal Horn class which is generated by a finite set \({\mathfrak A}\) of finite algebras has this property; 2. One can effectively decide if the universal Horn class which is generated by a finite set \({\mathfrak A}\) of finite algebras has this property and is a variety.
