Abstract:

A Galois correspondence between cylindric set algebras and permutation groups is presented in this paper. Moreover, the Galois connection is used to help establish two important algebraic properties for certain classes of finite-dimensional cylindric algebras, namely the amalgamation property and the property that epimorphisms are surjective.
