Abstract

We investigate ways in which certain binary homomorphisms of a finite algebra can guarantee its dualisability. Of particular interest are those binary homomorphisms which are lattice, flat-semilattice or group operations. We prove that a finite algebra which has a pair of lattice operations amongst its binary homomorphisms is dualisable. As an application of this result, we find that every finite unary algebra can be embedded into a dualisable algebra. We develop some general tools which we use to prove the dualisability of a large number of unary algebras. For example, we show that the endomorphisms of a finite cyclic group are the operations of a dualisable unary algebra.
