Delve into the intricate world where logic and algebra intertwine, challenging conventional boundaries and redefining the very essence of equivalence. This groundbreaking work embarks on a profound exploration of universal Horn theories (UHTs), venturing into uncharted territory to extend existing conceptions of equivalence and bridge the gap between seemingly disparate logical landscapes. From the foundational principles of indiscernability, crucial for integrating equality-free logic, to the sophisticated model-theoretic underpinnings of universal Horn logic, both with and without equality, the journey is meticulously crafted to provide a comprehensive understanding of this complex domain. Discover a novel concept of equivalence between UHTs, a generalization of previous notions that unlocks new perspectives on definitional and rational equivalence. Witness the power of categorical characterizations as they provide a robust framework for analyzing the relationships between different UHTs. The theory finds its practical application in General Algebraic Logic, with a specific focus on equivalential and algebraizable UHTs, revealing the importance of many-dimensional formalism and expanding the notion of algebraizability to encompass infinitary prevarieties. Concrete examples of propositional calculi illuminate the theoretical findings, demonstrating the necessity of the two-sorted categorical approach and showcasing the existence of algebraizable UHTs that defy conventional classification. This book is an indispensable resource for researchers and students alike, offering a rigorous treatment of equivalence in universal Horn theories and paving the way for future advancements in General Algebraic Logic. Keywords: Universal Horn theories, General Algebraic Logic, Equivalence, Categorical characterizations, Equivalential UHTs, Algebraizable UHTs, Model theory, Implicational classes, Propositional calculi, Indiscernability, Equality. Explore the depths of algebraic logic and unveil the hidden connections that govern the structure of logical systems. This book redefines equivalence in the realm of universal Horn theories, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the relationships between diverse logical systems.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This work aims to extend existing conceptions of equivalence between universal Horn theories (UHTs), encompassing both definitional equivalence from General Propositional Logic and rational equivalence from implicational classes of algebras. The study investigates the equivalence between UHTs with and without equality, applying the developed theory to General Algebraic Logic, specifically examining equivalential and algebraizable UHTs. * Equivalence between universal Horn theories * Applications to General Algebraic Logic * Categorical characterizations of equivalence * Equivalential Universal Horn Theories * Algebraizable Universal Horn TheoriesZusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
Chapter 1: Indiscernability versus equality: This chapter lays the groundwork for the subsequent analysis by reviewing fundamental concepts from Set Theory, Lattice Theory, General Algebra, and Model Theory. It delves into the crucial issue of indiscernability, a key concept in General Algebraic Logic necessary for integrating equality-free logic into a broader framework. The chapter establishes the model-theoretic foundations of universal Horn logic, both with and without equality, providing essential context for understanding the later developments in the book. The discussion of indiscernability bridges the gap between different logical systems.
Chapter 2: Equivalence between universal Horn theories: This chapter introduces a novel concept of equivalence between universal Horn theories, generalizing previous notions of definitional and rational equivalence. It presents a characterization of this new equivalence, demonstrating its consistency with existing frameworks for universal Horn theories with equality. The chapter culminates in a significant result: a two-sorted categorical characterization of the introduced equivalence, providing a robust and formal framework for understanding the relationships between different UHTs. This categorical approach offers a powerful tool for analyzing and comparing various logical systems.
Chapter 3: Applications to General Algebraic Logic: This chapter applies the general theory of equivalence developed in Chapter 2 to the field of General Algebraic Logic. It focuses on two specific types of UHTs: equivalential and algebraizable UHTs. The analysis of equivalential UHTs clarifies the relationship between UHTs with and without equality, highlighting the importance of a many-dimensional formalism in this context. The study of algebraizable UHTs explores the connection between UHTs and their equivalent algebraic semantics, expanding the notion of algebraizability to encompass infinitary prevarieties. The chapter demonstrates the practical implications of the theoretical framework.
Chapter 4: Examples of propositional calculi: This chapter illustrates the developed theory through concrete examples of propositional calculi. Section 4.1 provides a counterexample demonstrating the necessity of the two-sorted categorical approach adopted in Chapter 2, showing that simpler, one-sorted categories are insufficient for fully characterizing the equivalence. Section 4.2 presents a finite finitary UHT that is algebraizable but lacks an equivalent algebraic semantics that is a quasivariety, thereby proving the necessity of the extended definition of algebraizability presented earlier. The chapter provides tangible examples to bolster the theoretical findings.
