Abstract. The aim of the paper is discussion of connections between the three kinds of objects named in the title. In a sense, it is a survey of such connections; however, some new directions are also considered. This relates, especially, to sections 3, 4 and 5, where we consider a field that could be understood as an universal algebraic geometry. This geometry is parallel to universal algebra. In the monograph [51] algebraic logic was used for building up a model of a database. Later on, the structures arising there turned out to be useful for solving several problems from algebra. This is the position which the present paper is written from.

. Henkin and Tarski proved that an atomic cylindric algebra in which every atom is a rectangle must be representable (as a cylindric set algebra) . This theorem and its analogues for quasi-polyadic algebras with and without equality are formulated in Henkin-Monk-Tarski [1985]. We introduce a natural and more general notion of rectangular density that can be applied to arbitrary cylindric and quasi-polyadic algebras, not just atomic ones. We then show that every rectangularly dense cylindric algebra is representable, and we extend this result to other classes of algebras of logic, for example quasi-polyadic algebras and substitution-cylindrification algebras with and without equality, relation algebras, and special Boolean monoids. The results of op. cit. mentioned above are special cases of our general theorems. We point out an error in the proof of the Henkin-Monk-Tarski representation theorem for atomic equality-free quasi-polyadic algebras with rectangular atoms. The er...
