A natural representation of partitions as terms of a universal algebra
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 April 2009
Abstract
We consider a variety of algebras with two binary commutative and associative operations. For each integer n ≥ 0, we represent the partitions on an n-element set as n-ary terms in the variety. We determine necessary and sufficient conditions on the variety ensuring that, for each n, these representing terms be all the essentially n-ary terms and moreover that distinct partitions yield distinct terms.
