Infinitary Baker–Pixley theorem
An important theorem of Baker and Pixley states that if A is a finite algebra with a ( d + 1 ) -ary near-unanimity term and f is an n -ary operation on A such that every subalgebra of A d is closed under f , then f is representable by a term in A . It is well known that the Baker–Pixley theorem does...

Zusammenfassung: | An important theorem of Baker and Pixley states that if
A
is a finite algebra with a
(
d
+
1
)
-ary near-unanimity term and
f
is an
n
-ary operation on
A
such that every subalgebra of
A
d
is closed under
f
, then
f
is representable by a term in
A
. It is well known that the Baker–Pixley theorem does not hold when
A
is infinite. We give an infinitary version of the Baker–Pixley theorem which applies to an arbitrary class of structures with a
(
d
+
1
)
-ary near-unanimity term instead of a single finite algebra. |
