We show that every simple abelian real Hilbert ternary algebra is isomorphic to the algebra of Hilbert-Schmidt operators between two real, complex or quaternionic Hilbert spaces, up to a positive multiple of the inner product.

A ternary algebra is a bounded distributive lattice with additonal operations e and ~ that satisfies (a+b)~=a~b~, a~~=a, e≤a+a~, e~= e and 0~=1. This article characterizes free ternary algebras by giving necessary and sufficient conditions on a set X of free generators of a ternary algebra L, so that X freely generates L. With this characterization, the free ternary algebra on one free generator is displayed. The poset of join irreducibles of finitely generated free ternary algebras is characterized. The uniqueness of the set of free generators and their pseudocomplements is also established.

A ternary algebra is a De Morgan algebra (that is, a distributive lattice with 0 and 1 and a complement operation that satisfies De Morgan's laws) with an additional constant Φ satisfying [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. We provide a characterization of finite ternary algebras in terms of "subset-pair algebras," whose elements are pairs (X, Y) of subsets of a given base set ℰ, which have the property X ∪ Y = ℰ, and whose operations are based on common set operations.

An involuted semilattice <S,∨,-> is a semilattice <S,∨> with an involution-: S→S, i.e., <S,∨,-> satisfies [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. In this paper we study the properties of such semilattices. In particular, we characterize free involuted semilattices in terms of ordered pairs of subsets of a set. An involuted semilattice <S,∨,-,1> with greatest element 1 is said to be complemented if it satisfies a∨ā=1. We also characterize free complemented semilattices. We next show that complemented semilattices are related to ternary algebras. A ternary algebra <T,+,*,-,0,ϕ,1> is a de Morgan algebra with a third constant ϕ satisfying [Formula: see text], and (a+ā)+ϕ=a+ā. If we define a third binary operation ∨ on T as a∨b=a*b+(a+b)*ϕ, then <T,∨,-,ϕ> is a complemented semilattice.
