Sheaves of Algebras over Boolean Spaces Summary

Sheaves of Algebras over Boolean Spaces by Arthur Knoebel

This unique monograph building bridges among a number of different areas of mathematics such as algebra, topology, and category theory. The author uses various tools to develop new applications of classical concepts. Detailed proofs are given for all major theorems,about halfof which are completely new.

Sheaves of Algebras over Boolean Spaces will take readers on a journey through sheaf theory, an important part of universal algebra. This excellent reference text is suitable for graduate students, researchers, and those who wish to learn about sheaves of algebras.

Sheaves of Algebras over Boolean Spaces Reviews

From the reviews:

This monograph adapts the intuitive idea of a metric space to universal algebra, leading to the useful device of a complex, from which a sheaf is constructed directly. The gist of the authors ideas is that one need not look at all congruences of an algebra, but at only some of them comprising a Boolean subsemilattice of congruences . As for prerequisites, the reader should have a nodding acquaintance with universal algebra, logic, categories, topology, and Boolean algebra. (Hirokazu Nishimura, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1243, 2012)

This book brings together investigations that span several decades by the author and others into how in general one can obtain a representation of arbitrary algebras by sheaves over Boolean spaces. The book is well written and contains extensive references. Exercises and open problems are liberally interspersed throughout the monograph. It is recommended for anyone with an interest in the decomposition of general algebras primarily from the viewpoint of the universal algebra. (S. Comer, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2013)
