subalgebra of a partial algebra


Unlike an algebraic system, where there is only one way to define a subalgebraPlanetmathPlanetmath, there are several ways to define a subalgebra of a partial algebra.

Suppose 𝑨 and 𝑩 are partial algebras of type τ:

  1. 1.

    𝑩 is a weak subalgebra of 𝑨 if BA, and f𝑩 is a subfunction of f𝑨 for every operator symbol fτ.

    In words, 𝑩 is a weak subalgebra of 𝑨 iff BA, and for each n-ary symbol fτ, if b1,,bnB such that fB(b1,,bn) is defined, then fA(b1,,bn) is also defined, and is equal to fB(b1,,bn).

  2. 2.

    𝑩 is a relative subalgebra of 𝑨 if BA, and f𝑩 is a restriction of f𝑨 relative to B (http://planetmath.org/Subfunction) for every operator symbol fτ.

    In words, 𝑩 is a relative subalgebra of 𝑨 iff BA, and for each n-ary symbol fτ, given b1,,bnB, fB(b1,,bn) is defined iff fA(b1,,bn) is and belongs to B, and they are equal.

  3. 3.

    𝑩 is a subalgebra of 𝑨 if BA, and f𝑩 is a restriction (http://planetmath.org/Subfunction) of f𝑨 for every operator symbol fτ.

    In words, 𝑩 is a subalgebra of 𝑨 iff BA, and for each n-ary symbol fτ, given b1,,bnB, fB(b1,,bn) is defined iff fA(b1,,bn) is, and they are equal.

Notice that if 𝑩 is a weak subalgebra of 𝑨, then every constant of 𝑩 is a constant of 𝑨, and vice versa.

Every subalgebra is a relative subalgebra, and every relative subalgebra is a weak subalgebra. But the converseMathworldPlanetmath is false for both statements. Below are two examples.

  1. 1.

    Let F be a field. Then every subalgebra of F is a subfield, and every relative subalgebra of F is a subring.

  2. 2.

    Let A be the set of all non-negative integers, and -A the ordinary subtractionPlanetmathPlanetmath on integers. Consider the partial algebra (A,-A).

    • Let B=A and -B the usual subtraction on integers, but x-By is only defined when x,yB have the same parity. Then (B,-B) is a weak subalgebra of (A,-A).

    • Let C be the set of all positive integers, and -C the ordinary subtraction. Then (C,-C) is a relative subalgebra of (A,-A).

    • Let D be the set {0,1,,n} and -D the ordinary subtraction. Then (D,-D) is a subalgebra of (A,-A).

    Notice that (B,-B) is not a relative subalgebra of (A,-A), since 7-B6 is not defined, even though 7-A6=1B, and and (C,-C) is not a subalgebra of (A,-A), since 1-C1 is not defined in C, even though 1-A1 is defined in A.

Remarks.

  1. 1.

    A weak subalgebra 𝑩 of 𝑨 is a relative subalgebra iff given b1,,bnB such that fA(b1,,bn) is defined and is in B, then fB(b1,,bn) is defined. A relative subalgebra 𝑩 of 𝑨 is a subalgebra iff whenever fA(b1,,bn) is defined for biB, it is in B.

  2. 2.

    Let 𝑨 be a partial algebra of type τ, and BA. For each n-ary function symbol fτ, define f𝑩 on B as follows: f𝑩(b1,,bn) is defined in B iff f𝑨(b1,,bn) is defined in A and f𝑨(b1,,bn)B. This turns 𝑩 into a partial algebra. However, 𝑩 may not be of type τ, since f𝑩 may not be defined at all on B. When 𝑩 is a partial algebra of type τ, it is a relative subalgebra of 𝑨.

  3. 3.

    When 𝑨 is an algebraMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath, all three notions of subalgebras are equivalentMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath (assuming that the partial operations on a weak subalgebra are all total).
