What is Monk Algebras and Representability about?

In ``Monk Algebras and Ramsey Theory,'' \emph{J. Log. Algebr. Methods Program.} (2022), Kramer and Maddux prove various representability results in furtherance of the goal of finding the smallest weakly representable but not representable relation algebra. They also pose many open problems. In the present paper, we address problems and issues raised by Kramer and Maddux. In particular, we prove that their Proposition 7 does not generalize, and we answer Problem 1.1 in the negative: relation algebra $1311_{1316}$ is not representable. Thus $1311_{1316}$ is a good candidate for the smallest weakly representable but not representable relation algebra. Finally, we give the first known finite cyclic group representations for relation algebras $31_{37}$, $32_{65}$, $1306_{1314}$, and $1314_{1316}$.
