An algebraic construction discovered by logicians Adolf Lindenbaum (1904–1941) and Alfred Tarski (1901–1983) that for many deductive systems yields an algebra for each -theory . Define an equivalence relation on the language of defined so that precisely when both and hold, i.e., and are deductively equivalent with respect to . Then the equivalence classes of sentences under , i.e., elements , make up the elements of the algebra , which may be ordered so that for two elements and , whenever . When permits such constructions (i.e., is algebraizable), operations on can be defined for each connective. For example, conjunction is the greatest lower bound of and with respect to .
