Extract

The notion of polyadic algebra was introduced by Halmos to reflect algebraically the predicate logic without equality. Later Halmos enriched the study with the introduction of the notion of equality. These algebras are very closely related to the cylindric algebras of Tarski. The notion of diagonal free cylindric algebra predates that of cylindric algebra and is also due to Tarski. The theory of diagonal free algebras forms an important fragment of the theories of polyadic and cylindric algebras.
