The present paper continues a series of papers of the author (some of them are written in collaboration), in which the Yoneda algebras are calculated for several families of algebras of dihedral and semidihedral type (in K. Erdmann’s classification). In the paper, the Yoneda algebras are described (in terms of quivers with relations) for the algebras of semidihedral type that form the family SD(3 $$\mathcal{K}$$ ). Bibliography: 10 titles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
In this paper we study the structure of positive homomorphisms on real function algebras. We prove that every positive homomorphism is completely characterized by a family of sets and when the algebra is invert-closed, by an ultrafilter of zero-sets of functions of the algebra. We show that the known sufficient conditions for every homomorphism of a real function algebra to be countably evaluating or a point evaluation are not necessary. Our results enable us to characterize the countably evaluating algebras as well as the Lindelöf spaces as the spaces in which for every algebra, each countably evaluating homomorphism is a point evaluation.

Pseudoeffect (PE) algebras have been introduced as a noncommutative generalization of effect algebras. We study in this paper PE algebras with the special property of having a nonempty state space. To this end, we consider PE algebras which are po-group intervals and which are, in a certain sense, noncommutative only in the small. Such a PE algebra is shown to possess a nontrivial commutative homomorphic image from which then follows that there exist states. A typical example is given by an interval of the lexicographical product of two po-groups the first of which is abelian. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
