Separation algebras
Abbreviation: SepAlg
Definition
A \emph{separation algebra} is a generalized separation algebra such that
⋅ is \emph{commutative}: x⋅y=y⋅x.
I.e., a separation algebra is a cancellative commutative partial monoid.
Morphisms
Let A and B be cancellative partial monoids. A morphism from A to B is a function h:A→B that is a homomorphism: h(e)=e and if x⋅y≠∗ then h(x⋅y)=h(x)⋅h(y).
