Abstract

For every finite n > 1, the embedding property fails in the class of all n-dimensional cylindric type algebras which satisfy the following. Their boolean reducts are boolean algebras and two of the cylindrifications are normal, additive and commute. This result also holds for all subclasses containing the representable n-dimensional cylindric algebras. This considerably strengthens a result of S. Comer on CAn and provides a strong counterexample for interpolation in finite variable fragments of first order logic. We provide a new modern proof, using an argument inspired by modal logic.
