Following Bezhanishvili & Vosmaer, we confirm a conjecture of Yde Venema by
piecing together results from various authors. Specifically, we show that if
A is a residually finite, finitely generated modal algebra such that
HSP(A) has equationally definable principal
congruences, then the profinite completion of A is isomorphic to its
MacNeille completion, and ◊ is smooth. Specific examples of such modal
algebras are the free K4-algebra and the free
PDL-algebra.Comment: 5 page
