Abstract

It is known that for all finite n ≤ 5, there are relation algebras with n-dimensional relational bases but no weak representations. We prove that conversely, there are finite weakly representable relation algebras with no n-dimensional relational bases. In symbols: neither of the classes RA<subscript>n</subscript> and wRRA contains the other. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
