The Tarski alternative for Boolean inverse monoids
The Tarski alternative for Boolean inverse monoids
Let be a Boolean inverse monoid. An invariant mean on is a function such that , when , and for all .
The Tarski alternative. Exactly one of the following is true:
- contains a copy of the Cuntz monoid as an inverse submonoid.
- has an invariant mean.
This conjecture is motivated by work cited in the source and is an inverse-monoid analogue of a Tarski-type alternative. The two alternatives are mutually exclusive because a Boolean inverse monoid containing cannot possess an invariant mean; the source gives no resolution of whether they exhaust all possibilities.
