27 Finite Duality Categories Category FM, finite demorgan algebras: Objects: A, finite demorgan algebra. Morphisms h: A B, demorgan homomorphism. Category FIP, finite involutive posets: Objects (P, z P ), with P = (P, P ) finite poset, z P antitone bijection such that z P (z P (x)) = x. Morphisms f : (P, z P ) (Q, z Q ), monotone map such that f (z P (x)) = z Q (f (x)).
28 Finite Duality Contravariant Functors Functor J : FM FIP: Objects: J(A) = (P, z P ), with P = ({[x) x join irreducible in A}, ), z P ([x)) = A \ {y y [x)}. Morphisms J(h: A B) = J(B) J(A), where J(h)([x)) = h 1 ([x)) for all [x) J(B). Functor D: FIP FM: Objects D((P, z P )) = A = (A,,,, 0, 1), with A = {X P (X] = X}, X Y iff X Y, 0 =, 1 = P, X = P \ z 1 P (X). Morphisms D(f : P Q) = D(Q) D(P), where D(f )(X) = f 1 (X) for all X D(Q).
29 Finite Duality Dual Equivalence Theorem (by Cornish and Fowler [CF77]) FM and FIP are dually equivalent via J and D.

35 Morphisms over J(2), J(3), J(4) Order reflecting.
36 Morphisms over J(2), J(3), J(4) Remark 1. Onto morphisms correspond to subalgebras (by inspection, 2 S 3 S 4, and 4 S 3 S 2). Order reflecting.
37 Morphisms over J(2), J(3), J(4) Remark 1. Onto morphisms correspond to subalgebras (by inspection, 2 S 3 S 4, and 4 S 3 S 2). 2. 1:1 morphisms f st x y if f (x) f (y) correspond to quotients (by inspection, 2, 3, 4 are simple, thus M is semisimple). Order reflecting.
38 Finite Duality Quotients Corollary (Quotients) J(A) = (P, z P ). Con(A) isomorphic to ({Q P z P (Q) = Q}, ).
39 Finite Duality Quotients Corollary (Quotients) J(A) = (P, z P ). Con(A) isomorphic to ({Q P z P (Q) = Q}, ). Proof (Sketch). For 1, under Priestley (or Birkhoff) duality, onto bounded lattice homomorphisms correspond to order embeddings, thus g: A B onto corresponds to J(g): J(B) J(A) order embedding. If J(B) = (Q, z Q ), then J(g)(Q) is essentially a subset of P, with inherited order and inherited involution, and by commutativity it is closed under z P.

For 1, under Priestley (or Birkhoff) duality, onto bounded lattice homomorphisms correspond to order embeddings, thus g: A B onto corresponds to J(g): J(B) J(A) order embedding. If J(B) = (Q, z Q ), then J(g)(Q) is essentially a subset of P, with inherited order and inherited involution, and by commutativity it is closed under z P. Remark θ Con(A) meet irreducible iff θ corresponds to some {x, z P (x)} with x join irreducible in A. For, {x, z P (x)} coatom in Con(A).
41 Finite Duality Projective Corollary (Projective) J(F M (n)) = (P, z P ). J(A) = (Q, z Q ). Then, A projective iff, 1. Q P st z P (Q) = Q; 2. there is an involutive retraction of P onto Q, that is, a poset retraction such that z P r = r z P. r: P Q onto monotone st r(q) = Q.
42 Finite Duality Projective Corollary (Projective) J(F M (n)) = (P, z P ). J(A) = (Q, z Q ). Then, A projective iff, 1. Q P st z P (Q) = Q; 2. there is an involutive retraction of P onto Q, that is, a poset retraction such that z P r = r z P. Proof (Sketch). f : A F M(n) 1:1 and g: F M(n) A onto such that g f = id A iff, by duality, J(g f ) = J(id A ) iff, J(f ) J(g) = id J(A), where J(g): J(A) J(F M(n)) order embedding, and J(f ): J(F M(n)) J(A) onto. For 1, use the previous corollary. For 2, J(f ) monotone onto implies J(f ): P Q poset retraction that commutes with z P. r: P Q onto monotone st r(q) = Q.
43 F M (n) Dual Object Theorem J(F M (n)) isomorphic to (({0, 2, 3, 1} n, O n ), D n ).
44 F M (n) Dual Object Theorem J(F M (n)) isomorphic to (({0, 2, 3, 1} n, O n ), D n ). Proof (Sketch). Fix antichain X {0, 2, 3, 1} n such that (X] D n ((X]) = {0, 2, 3, 1} n and (X] D n ((X]) = {0, 1} n. Define B = {0, 1} n = D n (B); B k,2 = (B] \ B = D n (B k,1 ); B k,1 = [B) \ B = D n (B k,2 ); B m,2 = (X] \ B k,2 = D n (B m,3 ); B m,3 = [X) \ B k,1 = D n (B m,2 ). Then, {B, B k,2, B k,1, B m,2, B m,3 } 5-partition of {0, 2, 3, 1} n. Define M: {0, 2, 3, 1} n 2 {x i,x i i [n]}, for a = (a 1,..., a n), by: 8 {x i, x j a i = 0, a j = 1}, if a B; >< {x i, x j, x l, x l a i = 0, a j = 1, a l = 2}, if a B k,2 ; M(a) = {x i, x j a i = 0, a j = 1}, if a B k,1 ; {x >: i, x j, x l, x l a i = 0, a j = 1, a l = 2}, if a B m,2 ; {x i, x j, x l, x l a i = 0, a j = 1, a l = 3}, if a B m,3. By direct computation, M isomorphism ( V M(a) is the minterm at a, ie, the smallest term operation m in F M (n) st m(a) = i, for a suitable i depending on a).

47 Involutive Retractions Problem Instance Q {0, 2, 3, 1} n st D n (Q) = Q.
48 Involutive Retractions Problem Instance Q {0, 2, 3, 1} n st D n (Q) = Q. Say (n = 2),
49 Involutive Retractions Problem Instance Q {0, 2, 3, 1} n st D n (Q) = Q. Say (n = 2), Question Is there a poset retraction r of {0, 2, 3, 1} n onto Q such that r D n = D n r?
50 Involutive Retractions Idea (i) = Q {0, 2, 3, 1} n st D n (Q) = Q. Think D(Q) H(F M (n)). (ii) Take a morphism r in FIP from {0, 2, 3, 1} n onto Q. r is an involutive poset retraction of {0, 2, 3, 1} n onto Q that is, r: {0, 2, 3, 1} n Q monotone onto st r(q) = Q and r D n = D n r. (iii) The goal is to collect necessary combinatorial conditions imposed by such an r on Q, until sufficient conditions arise such that conversely, {0, 2, 3, 1} n admits an involutive retraction onto any Q satisfying those conditions. This suffices to characterize (duals of) finite projective demorgan algebras. (iv) B = {0, 1} n. Clearly, r(b) = Q B (trivial, enough for Boolean case) and r((b]) = Q (B]. (v) The key insight is that r determines in a natural (nontrivial) way a partition of {0, 2, 3, 1} n into two blocks, say (X] and D n ((X]) for some antichain X {0, 2, 3, 1} n, such that (X] D n ((X]) = B, and (X], D n ((X]), as well as Q (X], Q D n ((X]), are dual isomorphic via D n (the latter since D n (Q) = Q). The Kleene case reduces to the particular case where X = B. (vi) The first (easy, enough for Kleene case) observation is that therefore, the behaviour of r over D n ((X]) is encoded by r (X], since r D n = D n r. (vii) The second (tricky, necessary for M) observation is that moreover, X must satisfy a certain combinatorial property such that, if x y with x (X] and y D n ((X]), then r(x) r(y).

52 Main Result Q {0, 2, 3, 1} n st D n (Q) = Q. Definition (Interface) X {0, 2, 3, 1} n is an interface (for Q) if X is an antichain such that: (I1) (X] D n ((X]) = {0, 2, 3, 1} n and (X] D n ((X]) = B; (I2) for all x (X] and y D n ((X]), if x y then, _ {z Q (X] z x} ^ {w Q D n ((X]) w y}. Q (X] Q D n ((X]) Definition (Better Embedded) Q is better embedded in {0, 2, 3, 1} n if: (E1) There exists an interface X for Q such that Q (X] is a meet semilattice well embedded in (X], with Q (B] well embedded in (B]. (E2) Every x Q (B] \ B is comparable to some y Q B. S poset. R S is well embedded in S if every X R with an upper bound in S has an upper bound in R [BB89].
53 Main Result Theorem (Finite Projective demorgan Algebras) Let A = D(Q). A projective iff, Q is better embedded in {0, 2, 3, 1} n for some n < ω.
54 Main Result Theorem (Finite Projective demorgan Algebras) Let A = D(Q). A projective iff, Q is better embedded in {0, 2, 3, 1} n for some n < ω. Proof ( ). Given retraction r of {0, 2, 3, 1} n onto Q st r(d n (x)) = D n (r(x)). Let B d ({x level(x) = n}] st B d D n (B d ) = B. r 1 (Q B d ) meet semilattice dual isomorphic to {0, 2, 3, 1} \ r 1 (Q B d ) via D n since Q = D n (Q). Define X {0, 2, 3, 1} antichain by X = {x x maximal in r 1 (Q B d )}. Notice (X] = r 1 (Q B d ). Check (I1)-(I2). By construction, r (X] retraction of (X] onto Q B d = Q (X], then by [BB89, Lemma 2.4], since (X] is a (finite, so complete) meet semilattice, Q (X] is a meet semilattice well embedded in (X]. Check better embedding. Let X Q (B] with an upper bound b in (B]; then r(b) = c for some upper bound c of X Q (B], ie, Q (B] is well embedded in (B]. (E2) is easily seen necessary (ow, there is x Q B k,2 incomparable with every y Q B, then there is v B \ Q st x v but r(v) y, contradiction).
55 Main Result Theorem (Finite Projective demorgan Algebras) Let A = D(Q). A projective iff, Q is better embedded in {0, 2, 3, 1} n for some n < ω. Proof ( ). Let X be an interface st Q (X] is a (finite, hence complete) meet semilattice well embedded in (X]. Then by [BB89, Theorem 2.7], r(x) = W Q (X] {y Q (X] y x} for all x (X] retraction of (X] onto Q (X]. Since Q (B] well embedded in (B] by (E2), the construction yields r((b]) = Q (B]. Possibly fix r(x) (B] \ B using (E3). Extend r to {0, 2, 3, 1} n by r(d n (x)) = D n (r(x)), sound since for all x B, we have x = D n (x) B, but r(x) = r(d n (x)). Sufficient to check r retraction (onto Q is clear). If x y (X], then r(x) r(y). If x y [D n (X)), then D n (y) D n (x) (X], then r(d n (y)) r(d n (x)), then D n (r(y)) D n (r(x)), then r(x) r(y). Case y < x with x (X], y [D n (X)) impossible. Case x < y with x (X], y [D n (X)), by (I2), r(x) r(y).
56 Main Result Theorem (Finite Projective demorgan Algebras) Let A = D(Q). A projective iff, Q is better embedded in {0, 2, 3, 1} n for some n < ω. Proof ( ). Let X be an interface st Q (X] is a (finite, hence complete) meet semilattice well embedded in (X]. Then by [BB89, Theorem 2.7], r(x) = W Q (X] {y Q (X] y x} for all x (X] retraction of (X] onto Q (X]. Since Q (B] well embedded in (B] by (E2), the construction yields r((b]) = Q (B]. Possibly fix r(x) (B] \ B using (E3). Extend r to {0, 2, 3, 1} n by r(d n (x)) = D n (r(x)), sound since for all x B, we have x = D n (x) B, but r(x) = r(d n (x)). Sufficient to check r retraction (onto Q is clear). If x y (X], then r(x) r(y). If x y [D n (X)), then D n (y) D n (x) (X], then r(d n (y)) r(d n (x)), then D n (r(y)) D n (r(x)), then r(x) r(y). Case y < x with x (X], y [D n (X)) impossible. Case x < y with x (X], y [D n (X)), by (I2), r(x) r(y). Problem Projective demorgan algebras?
