1 PubL RIMS, Kyoto Univ, 23 U987), Undecidability of Free Pseudo-Compiemented Semllattlces By Pawel M. IDZIAK* Abstract Decision problem for the first order theory of free objects in equational classes of algebras was investigated for groups (Malcev [10]), semigroups (Quine [12]), commutative semigroups (Mostowski [11]), distributive lattices (Ershov [6]) and several varieties of rings (Lavrov [9]). Recently this question was solved for all varieties of Hilbert algebras and distributive pseudo-complemented lattices (see [7], [8]). In this paper we prove that the theory of all finitely generated free pseudo-complemented semilattices is undecidable. By a pseudo-complemented semi lattice (pcs for short) we mean an algebra 21 = (.A; A, -i, 0> of type <2, 1, 0> such that <A ; A, 0> is a meet semilattice with the smallest element 0 and the unary operation i is defined by a/\x=q iff x^~ -a. The class PCS of all pcs form a variety whose only non-trivial subvariety B (of Boolean algebras) is definable, relatively to PCS, by the identity An element a of a pcs is regular if i ^a a. It is known that regular elements are exactly of the form \b. These facts and the basic arithmetic of pcs can be found in [2]. For the main concepts in universal algebra the reader is referred to [5]. Now we recall Balbes' [1] description of finitely generated free pcs. Let n= {0,, n 1} be an arbitrary natural number. For Sen let 335 denote the pcs obtained from the lattice 2 s of all subsets of S by adjoining a new smallest element 0 5. By 2(n) we mean the direct product II %$$ Sera For every subset A\J{i] of n let us define two elements of S(n) by putting Communicated by S.

Balbes [1] describes finitely generated free pcs'. Theorem 1. The n- freely generated pseudo-complement ed semi lattice is isomorphic to a sub algebra ^ (n) of (n), (freely) generated by the set Every element j of $ (72) can 6e represented in the form (4) r=/ IGEC" /6>r S6>?7Z CCn anrf some regular element j r of $p»(n). Using this Theorem we can give the first order characterization of free generators in $P (w). An element a of a pcs $ is said to be preregular if a is not regular but every b>a is regular. Corollary 2. 77i0 on/j preregular elements in free pseudo-complement ed sejni lattice are its free generators, Proof. First we prove that all a t are preregular. Of course they are not regular, as PCS^B. Now, let r= /X\ atar r be essentially larger than a r Then tec* a 3 <a t for all z'ec, which is impossible for i^j as {a t :i<n} freely generates 5p (n). Thus CC{/}. If C={/} then r=aj/\7 r > which leads to the contradiction a j <7^a j. Thus C=0, and consequently 7=7 r is regular. Conversely, assume that j /A aia^7" is a preregular element of $ (n). igc Then C is non-empty. Moreover, C has not more than one element. Indeed, if i, j are two different elements of C, then Y= a i as we ll as T= a r But neither a t nor ^- is regular, which implies that a l =r=a r Therefore C has exactly one element, as claimed, and j a 3 /\f^aj for some j<n. However the strong inequality 7*<a/ is impossible, as a 3 is not regular. Finally?=& and we can finish the proof. The proof of our undecidability result is based on the method of interpretation due to A. Tarski [14]. However we will need some modified version
3 FREE PSEUDO-COMPLEMENTED SEMILATTICES 561 called by S. Burris and R. McKenzie [3] interpretation by parameters and definable factor relations. For details of this method (which will not be given here) the reader is referred to [3] or [13]. Now, we only recall that in a special case this method can be expressed as follows (see also [5]). A class <P of some partially ordered sets is said to be interpretable into a class Jl of some algebraic structures of type r, if there are first order formulas : d(x), e(x, ;y), p(x, y], of type T, such that for every poset 5j3=<P, ^> from P, there is a structure for which, if we let A s ={a<=a: (5) 9={<a, R={<a, then 9 is an equivalence relation on A s, such that the quotient-set A 5 /9 together with the relation form a poset isomorphic to $. The power of the method of interpretation lies in the following Theorem, proof of which can be found in [3]. Theorem 3 0 // a class 3? with hereditarily undecidable first order theory (i. e. every subtheory of Th ( P) is undecidable) is interpretable in Jl then Jl has (hereditarily) undecidable first order theory as well. By a partition lattice x n we mean a lattice of all equivalence relations on arbitrary n-elements set. Ju. L. Ershov [6] and later S. Burris and H. P. Sankappanavar [4] proved the following Theorem 4. The class {^n:n^l} of finite partition lattices has hereditarily undecidable first order theory. Using above theorems we are able to prove the main result of this paper : Theorem 5. The first order theory of all finitely generated free pseudocomplemented semilattices is hereditarily undecidable. Proof. We will interpret {n n :n^l} into the class {$p (n) : n<o)} of all finitely generated pseudo-complemented semilattices. Actually we will show that 7i n is isomorphic to some quotient of whole ^ (n), and that such quotients can be obtained in an uniform way.
4 562 PAWEL M. IDZIAK From Corollary 2 we know that the formula u^ ^ iu & Vx(x /\u=u =) ;c = i ix or x = characterizes free generators in all nontrivial $P (n). Denote by D n the set of these generators, i.e. D n {ai'.i<.n} in the convention of Theorem 1. Now we can see that for every fixed is an equivalence relation on the set D n. However it can happen that fi=f z for some j^fz- Using the formula & a(v) -^ \uf\y -^ we can identify the elements of Ps(ri) which give the same equivalence relation on D n. It is clear that e determines, in the sense of (5), the equivalence relation 0 on Ps(ri) and that Ps(n)/0 can be treated as a poset of some equivalences on D n with order given by p(x, y) = yu v(ff(u) & a(v] & i.e. Now we show that every equivalence relation on D n can be expressed in the form f for some ^eps(n). Let I be an equivalence relation on D n with the corresponding partition & of n. From (2) we know that the element y= "~>( /A 5 A) belongs to?&$(n), and by (3) we obtain (6) r(s)={ ( Os otherwise. fs if By (1) we have which together with (6) gives S s if is=s, otherwise, if «eses otherwise. In particular (-i-iaia7%s)=(-i-ia J A7')(S) for all S &, and f, ;'<n. To see that f=i let us write the following sequence of equivalent conditions :
