Abstract

Weak relative pseudocomplementation on a meet semilattice S is a partial operation * which associates with every pair (x, y) of elements, where xy, an element z (the weak pseudocomplement of x relative to y) which is the greatest among elements u such that y = u Λ x. The element z coincides with the pseudocomplement of x in the upper section [y) and, if S is modular, with the pseudocomplement of x relative to y. A weakly relatively pseudomented semilattice is said to be extended, if it is equipped with a total binary operation extending *. We study congruence properties of the variety of such semilattices and review some of its subvarieties already described in the literature.

Keywords: arithmetical; Brouwerian semilattice; congruence distributive; congruence orderable; meet semilattice; relative pseudocomplementation; sectional pseudocomplementation; semi-Brouwerian semilattice; weak relative pseudocomplementation
