Algebraic expansions of logics and algebras and a case study of Abelian l-groups and perfect MV-algebras

An algebraically expandable (AE) class is a class of algebraic structures axiomatizable by sentences of the form $\forall \exists! \land p = q$. For a logic $L$ algebraized by a quasivariety $\mathcal{Q}$ we show that the AE-subclasses of $\mathcal{Q}$ correspond to certain natural expansions of $L$, which we call {\em algebraic expansions}. These turn out to be a special case of the expansions by implicit connectives studied by X. Caicedo. We proceed to characterize all the AE-subclasses of Abelian $\ell$-groups and perfect MV-algebras, thus fully describing the algebraic expansions of their associated logics.

Maximality in finite-valued Lukasiewicz logics defined by order filters

In this paper we consider the logics $L_n^i$ obtained from the (n+1)-valued Lukasiewicz logics $L_{n+1}$ by taking the order filter generated by i/n as the set of designated elements. In particular, the conditions of maximality and strong maximality among them are analysed. We present a very general theorem which provides sufficient conditions for maximality between logics. As a consequence of this theorem it is shown that $L_n^i$ is maximal w.r.t. CPL whenever n is prime. Concerning strong maximality between the logics $L_n^i$ (that is, maximality w.r.t. rules instead of axioms), we provide algebraic arguments in order to show that the logics $L_n^i$ are not strongly maximal w.r.t. CPL, even for n prime. Indeed, in such case, we show there is just one extension between $L_n^i$ and CPL obtained by adding to $L_n^i$ a kind of graded explosion rule. Finally, using these results, we show that the logics $L_n^i$ with n prime and i/n < 1/2 are ideal paraconsistent logics.

A note on bases of admissible rules of proper axiomatic extensions of Lukasiewicz logic

In this note we prove that single-conclusion admissible rules of any proper axiomatic extension of the infnite valued Lukasiewicz logic are finitely based.

Locally Finite Quasivarieties of MV-algebras

In this paper we show that every locally finite quasivariety of MV-algebras is finitely generated and finitely based. To see this result we study critical MV-algebras. We also give axiomatizations of some of these quasivarieties.
