Boolean modules over a relation algebra
Abbreviation: BRMod
Definition
A \emph{Boolean module over a relation algebra} R is a structure A=⟨A,∨,0,∧,1,¬,fr (r∈R)⟩ such that
⟨A,∨,0,∧,1,¬⟩ is a Boolean algebra
fr is \emph{join-preserving}: fr(x∨y)=fr(x)∨fr(y)
fr∨s(x)=fr(x)∨fs(x)
fr(fs(x))=fr∘s(x)
f1′ is the identity map: f1′(x)=x
f0(x)=0
fr⌣(¬(fr(x)))≤¬x
Remark: Assuming that fr is order-preserving, the last identity is equivalent to the condition that fr⌣ and fr are conjugate operators. It follows that fr is \emph{normal}: fr(0)=0.
Morphisms
Let A and B be Boolean modules over a realtion algebra. A morphism from A to B is a function h:A→B that is a Boolean homomorphism and preserves all fr:
h(fr(x))=fr(h(x))
