Representability of Lyndon-Maddux relation algebras

Abstract

In Alm-Hirsch-Maddux (2016), relation algebras $\mathfrak{L}(q,n)$ were defined that generalize Roger Lyndon's relation algebras from projective lines, so that $\mathfrak{L}(q,0)$ is a Lyndon algebra. In that paper, it was shown that if $q>2304n^2+1$, $\mathfrak{L}(q,n)$ is representable, and if $q<2n$, $\mathfrak{L}(q,n)$ is not representable. In the present paper, we reduced this gap by proving that if $q\geq n(\log n)^{1+\varepsilon}$, $\mathfrak{L}(q,n)$ is representable.
