摘要
We discuss some new properties of the natural Galois connection among set relation algebras, permutation groups, and first order logic. In particular, we exhibit infinitely many permutational relation algebras without a Galois closed representation, and we also show that every relation algebra on a set with at most six elements is Galois closed and essentially unique. Thus, we obtain the surprising result that on such sets, logic with three variables is as powerful in expression as full first order logic.
