4 First-Order Logic with Equality
4 First-Order Logic with Equality

... Lemma 4.4 If → is confluent, then every element has at most one normal form. Proof. Suppose that some element a ∈ A has normal forms b and c, then b ←∗ a →∗ c. If → is confluent, then b →∗ d ←∗ c for some d ∈ A. Since b and c are normal forms, both derivations must be empty, hence b →0 d ←0 c, so b ...

... Suppose for contradiction that xy is odd but one of them (without loss of generality, we can say x) is even. Then x = 2k for some integer k and so xy = 2ky where ky is an integer, so xy is even, a contradiction. Hence both x and y are odd. b) If a and b are real numbers such that the product ab is a ...

... Abstract: Given a free ultrafilter p on N we say that x ∈ [0, 1] is the p-limit point of a sequence (xn )n∈N ⊂ [0, 1] (in symbols, x = p -limn∈N xn ) if for every neighbourhood V of x, {n ∈ N : xn ∈ V } ∈ p. For a function f : [0, 1] → [0, 1] the function f p : [0, 1] → [0, 1] is defined by f p (x) ...

Thus µ is a measure on a σ-algebra of sets which includes the Borel sets of G. We will now show that µ is a nonzero left Haar measure. We ...

... (⇒) If x ∈ (α, ∞) ∩ A, then α cannot be an upper bound of A, which is a contradiction. If there is an ε > 0 such that (α − ε, α] ∩ A = ∅, then from above, we conclude (α − ε, ∞) ∩ A = ∅. This implies α − ε/2 is an upper bound for A which is less than α = lub A. This contradiction shows (α − ε, α] ∩ ...

In particular, if f is surjective, then f¯ : G/ ker(f ) ∼ = H. Proof. Define f¯ : G/ ker(f ) → H by f¯(g ker(f )) = f (g). Then it’s routine to verify it ...

Birkhoff's representation theorem



This is about lattice theory. For other similarly named results, see Birkhoff's theorem (disambiguation).In mathematics, Birkhoff's representation theorem for distributive lattices states that the elements of any finite distributive lattice can be represented as finite sets, in such a way that the lattice operations correspond to unions and intersections of sets. The theorem can be interpreted as providing a one-to-one correspondence between distributive lattices and partial orders, between quasi-ordinal knowledge spaces and preorders, or between finite topological spaces and preorders. It is named after Garrett Birkhoff, who published a proof of it in 1937.The name “Birkhoff's representation theorem” has also been applied to two other results of Birkhoff, one from 1935 on the representation of Boolean algebras as families of sets closed under union, intersection, and complement (so-called fields of sets, closely related to the rings of sets used by Birkhoff to represent distributive lattices), and Birkhoff's HSP theorem representing algebras as products of irreducible algebras. Birkhoff's representation theorem has also been called the fundamental theorem for finite distributive lattices.
