Review text

The well-known correspondence between Boolean algebras and unitary Boolean rings was generalized by several authors to some classes of complemented lattices (in particular, to orthomodular lattices) and so-called ``ring-like structures.NEWLINENEWLINE In the paper under review, the authors provide another type of generalization: They start with unitary rings \((R;+,\cdot,0,1)\) of characteristic \(2\) satisfying the identity \(x^{p+2}=x^p\) for some integer \(p\geq 2\). For these rings, they establish a one-to-one correspondence with so-called ``lattice-like structures \((R;\vee,\wedge,',0,1)\) satisfying a set of 15 identities.NEWLINENEWLINE Before doing that, they prove that a unitary ring \(\mathcal R\) is already Boolean provided that one of the following two properties holds: (i) \(\mathcal R\) satisfies the identity \(x^{p+1}=x^p\). (ii) \(\mathcal R\) is of characteristic \(2\) and satisfies the identity \(x^3=x\). This result acts as a motivation for considering rings with \(x^{p+2}=x^p\) where \(p\geq 2\).NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 1234.08003].
