Abstract

In a previous paper, we introduced the notion of Boolean-like algebra as a generalisation of Boolean algebras to an arbitrary similarity type. In a nutshell, a double-pointed algebra A with constants 0,1 is Booolean-like in case for all a in A the two congruences generated by the pairs (a,0) and (a,1) respectively are complementary factor congruences of A. We also introduced the weaker notion of semi-Boolean-like algebra, showing that it retained some of the strong algebraic properties characterising Boolean algebras. In this paper, we continue the investigation of semi-Boolean like algebras. In particular, we show that every idempotent semi-Boolean-like variety is term equivalent to a variety of noncommutative Boolean algebras with additional regular operations.
