In relation algebra ( which is an abstraction of the properties of the algebra of endorelations on a set ), inversion ( the operation of taking the inverse relation ) commutes with other binary operations of union and intersection.

While that exploration ( and the closely related work of Roger Lyndon ) uncovered some important limitations of relation algebra, Tarski also showed ( Tarski and Givant 1987 ) that relation algebra can express most axiomatic set theory and Peano arithmetic.

As a unary operation, taking the inverse ( sometimes called "'inversion "') commutes with the order-related operations of relation algebra, i . e ., it commutes with union, intersection, complement etc.

Its importance resides in the definition of a " representable relation algebra " as any relation algebra isomorphic to a subalgebra of the relation algebra 2 " E " for some equivalence relation " E " on some set.

With the exception of some writings by Leopold Loewenheim and Thoralf Skolem, algebraic logic went into eclipse soon after the 1910 13 publication of " Principia Mathematica ", not to be revived until Tarski's 1940 re-exposition of relation algebra.

This fragment is of great interest because it suffices for Peano arithmetic and most axiomatic set theory, including the canonical ZFC . They also prove that first-order logic with a primitive ordered pair is equivalent to a relation algebra with two ordered pair projection functions.

:In this example both classes are elementary but only the former class is finitely axiomatizable, though the latter class ( the reduct ) was shown by Tarski in 1955 to be nevertheless a variety, namely "'RRA "', the representable relation algebras.
