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 (rR) such that

A,,0,,1,¬ is a Boolean algebra

fr is \emph{join-preserving}: fr(xy)=fr(x)fr(y)

frs(x)=fr(x)fs(x)

fr(fs(x))=frs(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:AB that is a Boolean homomorphism and preserves all fr:

h(fr(x))=fr(h(x))
