On Dynamic Algebras

Abstract Dynamic algebras are the Lindenbaum–Tarski algebras of dynamic logics. These algebras can be considered as Boolean algebras with some operators, indexed by the elements of some Kleene algebra. In this paper we prove that there are infinitely many finitely generated varieties of dynamic algebras having undecidable equational theories. All these varieties are generated by representable dynamic algebras.
