Undecidable relativizations of algebras of relations

Szabolcs Mikulás, M. Marx · Journal of Symbolic Logic · 1999

Abstract In this paper we show that relativized versions of relation set algebras and cylindric set algebras have undecidable equational theories if we include coordinatewise versions of the counting operations into the similarity type. We apply these results to the guarded fragment of first-order logic.
