Abstract

An endomorphism on an algebra 𝒜 is said to be “strong” if it is compatible with every congruence on 𝒜; and 𝒜 is said to have the “strong endomorphism kernel property” if every congruence on 𝒜, different from the universal congruence, is the kernel of a strong endomorphism on 𝒜. Here we consider this property in the context of Ockham algebras. In particular, for those MS-algebras that have this property we describe the structure of their dual space in terms of 1-point compactifications of discrete spaces.
