Some classes of ring-logics

Adil Mohamed Yaqub

Vol. 19 (1966), No. 1, 189–195
Abstract

Let (R,×,+) be a commutative ring with identity, and let K = {ρ12,} be a transformation group in R. The K-logic of the ring (R,×,+) is the (operationally closed) system (R,×12,) whose operations are the ring product “×” together with the unary operations ρ12, of K. The ring (R,×,+) is essentially a ring-logic, mod K, if the “+” of the ring is equationally definable in terms of its K-logic (R,×12,). Our present object, is to show that any finite direct product of (not necessarilly finite) direct powers of finite commutative local rings of distinct orders is a ring-logic modulo certain suitably chosen (but nevertheless still rather general) groups. This theorem subsumes and generalizes Foster’s results for Boolean rings, p-rings, and pk-rings, as well as the author’s results for residue class rings and finite commutative rings with zero radical. Several new classes of ring-logics (modulo certain groups of quite general nature) are also explicitly exhibited. Throughout the entire paper, all rings under consideration are assumed to be commutative and with identity.
