Abstract

In this paper, we will focus on the topic of congruences and factorizations in universal algebra. We will first provide an introduction to universal algebra by defining lattices, algebras, congruences and other core structures. Next, we will explore the congruence and factorization properties of an algebra. Then, Birkhoff theorem indicates that every algebra can be embedded into a product of subdirectly irreducible algebras. Based on these fundamental concepts, Heyting algebra will be discussed as a typical example in universal algebra. The one-to-one correspondence between filters and congruences of a Heyting algebra will be proved. Lastly, we will show a specific way to justify the subdirectly irreducibility of a Heyting algebra.
