COMPLETE REDUCIBILITY OF PSEUDOVARIETIES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The notion of reducibility for a pseudovariety has been introduced as an abstract property which may be used to prove decidability results for various pseudovariety constructions.

Eilenberg Theorems for Free [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Eilenberg-type correspondences, relating varieties of languages (e.g. of finite words, infinite words, or trees) to pseudovarieties of finite algebras, form the backbone of algebraic language theory.

Logic Meets Algebra: the Case of Regular Languages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The study of finite automata and regular languages is a privileged meeting point of algebra and logic. Since the work of Buchi, regular languages have been classified according to their descriptive complexity, i.e.

The omega-inequality problem for concatenation hierarchies of star-free languages [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The problem considered in this paper is whether an inequality of omega-terms is valid in a given level of a concatenation hierarchy of star-free languages.

Equidivisible pseudovarieties of semigroups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We give a complete characterization of pseudovarieties of semigroups whose finitely generated relatively free profinite semigroups are equidivisible. Besides the pseudovarieties of completely simple semigroups, they are precisely the pseudovarieties that

Free profinite semigroups over some classes of semigroups locally in DG [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
This paper is concerned with the structure of semigroups of implicit operations on various subpseudovarieties V of DReG intersection with LDG, where DReG and DG are the pseudovarieties of all semigroups S in which each regular D-class is, respectively, a

Some pseudovariety joins involving locally trivial semigroups and groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
In this paper, we present the computation of some pseudovariety joins of the form LI v H v V where LI is the pseudovariety of locally trivial semigroups and H is any pseudovariety of groups.

An effective characterization of the alternation hierarchy in two-variable logic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We characterize the languages in the individual levels of the quantifier alternation hierarchy of first-order logic with two variables by identities. This implies decidability of the individual levels. More generally we show that the two-sided semidirect
