In a classical paper [15] V. Glivenko showed that a proposition is classically demonstrable if and only if its double negation
is intuitionistically demonstrable. This result has an algebraic formulation: the double negation is a homomorphism from each
Heyting algebra onto the Boolean algebra of its regular elements. Versions of both the logical and algebraic formulations
of Glivenko’s theorem, adapted to other systems of logics and to algebras not necessarily related to logic can be found in
the literature (see [2, 9, 8, 14] and [13, 7, 14]). The aim of this paper is to offer a general frame for studying both logical
and algebraic generalizations of Glivenko’s theorem. We give abstract formulations for quasivarieties of algebras and for
equivalential and algebraizable deductive systems and both formulations are compared when the quasivariety and the deductive
system are related. We also analyse Glivenko’s theorem for compatible
expansions of both cases.
