MacNeille completion and profinite completion can coincide on finitely generated modal algebras

Abstract

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