Representation and Embedding of Pseudo MV-algebras with Square Roots I. Strict Square Roots

In \cite{DvZa3}, we started the investigation of pseudo MV-algebras with square roots. In the present paper, we continue to study the structure of pseudo MV-algebras with square roots focusing on their new characterizations. The paper is divided into two parts. In the present first part, we investigate the relationship between a pseudo MV-algebra with square root and its corresponding unital $\ell$-group in the scene of two-divisibility. In the second part, we find some conditions under which a particular class of pseudo MV-algebras can be embedded into pseudo MV-algebras with square roots. We introduce and investigate the concepts of a strict square root of a pseudo MV-algebra and a square root closure, and we compare both notions. We show that each MV-algebra has a square root closure. Finally, using the square root of individual elements of a pseudo MV-algebra, we find the greatest subalgebra of a special pseudo MV-algebra with weak square root.

Some results on pseudo MV-algebras with square roots

The paper provides a study of pseudo MV-algebras with square roots. We introduce different notions of a square root on a pseudo MV-algebra, and present their main properties. We show that the class of pseudo-MV-algebras with square roots is a proper subvariety of the variety of pseudo MV-algebras. Then, we define a strict square root to classify the class of pseudo MV-algebras with square roots. We found a relationship between strongly atomless pseudo MV-algebras and strict pseudo MV-algebras. Finally, we investigate square roots on representable symmetric pseudo MV-algebras, and we present a complete characterization of a square root and a weak square root on a representable symmetric pseudo MV-algebra using addition in a unital $\ell$-group. Some interesting examples are provided.

On EMV-algebras with square roots

A square root is a unary operation with some special properties. In the paper, we introduce and study square roots on EMV-algebras. First, the known properties of square roots defined on MV-algebras will be generalized for EMV-algebras, and we also find some new ones for MV-algebras. We use square roots to characterize EMV-algebras. Then, we find a relation between the square root of an EMV-algebra and the square root on its representing EMV-algebra with top element. We show that each strict EMV-algebra has a top element and we investigate the relation between divisible EMV-algebras and EMV-algebras with a special square root. Finally, we present square roots on tribes, EMV-tribes, and we present a complete characterization of any square root on an MV-algebra and on an EMV-algebra by group addition in the corresponding unital $\ell$-group.

A Variety Containing EMV-Algebras and Pierce Sheaves

According to \cite{Dvz}, we know that the class of all EMV-algebras, $\mathsf{EMV}$, is not a variety, since it is not closed under the subalgebra operator. The main aim of this work is to find the least variety containing $\mathsf{EMV}$. For this reason, we introduced the variety $\mathsf{wEMV}$ of wEMV-algebras of type $(2,2,2,2,0)$ induced by some identities. We show that, adding a derived binary operation $\ominus$ to each EMV-algebra $(M;\vee,\wedge,\oplus,0)$, we extend its language, so that $(M;\vee,\wedge,\oplus,\ominus,0)$, called an associated wEMV-algebra, belongs to $\mathsf{wEMV}$. Then using the congruence relations induced by the prime ideals of a wEMV-algebra, we prove that each wEMV-algebra can be embedded into an associated wEMV-algebra. We show that $\mathsf{wEMV}$ is the least subvariety of the variety of wEMV-algebras containing $\mathsf{EMV}$. Finally, we study Pierce sheaves of proper EMV-algebras.

Morphisms on $EMV$-algebras and Their Applications

For a new class of algebras, called $EMV$-algebras, every idempotent element $a$ determines an $MV$-algebra which is important for the structure of the $EMV$-algebra. Therefore, instead of standard homomorphisms of $EMV$-algebras, we introduce $EMV$-morphisms as a family of $MV$-homomorphisms from $MV$-algebras $[0,a]$ into other ones. $EMV$-morphisms enable us to study categories of $EMV$-algebras where objects are $EMV$-algebras and morphisms are special classes of $EMV$-morphisms. The category is closed under product. In addition, we define free $EMV$-algebras on a set $X$ with respect to $EMV$-morphisms. If $X$ is finite, then the free $MV$-algebra on $X$ is a free $EMV$-algebras. For an infinite set $X$, the same is true introducing a so-called weakly free $EMV$-algebra.

States on EMV-algebras

We define a state as a $[0,1]$-valued, finitely additive function attaining the value $1$ on an EMV-algebra, which is an algebraic structure close to MV-algebras, where the top element is not assumed. We show that states always exist, the extremal states are exactly state-morphisms. Nevertheless the state space is a convex space that is not necessarily compact, a variant of the Krein--Mil'man theorem saying states are generated by extremal states, is proved. We define a weaker form of states, pre-states and strong pre-states, and also Jordan signed measures which form a Dedekind complete $\ell$-group. Finally, we show that every state can be represented by a unique regular probability measure, and a variant of the Horn--Tarski theorem is proved.

The Loomis--Sikorski Theorem for $EMV$-algebras

Recently, in [DvZa], we have introduced $EMV$-algebras which resemble $MV$-algebras but the top element is not guaranteed for them. For $σ$-complete $EMV$-algebras, we prove an analogue of the Loomis--Sikorski Theorem showing that every $σ$-complete $EMV$-algebra is a $σ$-homomorphic image of an $EMV$-tribe of fuzzy sets where all algebraic operations are defined by points. To prove it, some topological properties of the state-morphism space and the space of maximal ideals are established.

On EMV-algebras

The paper deals with an algebraic extension of $MV$-algebras based on the definition of generalized Boolean algebras. We introduce a new algebraic structure, not necessarily with a top element, which is called an $EMV$-algebra and every $EMV$-algebra contains an $MV$-algebra. First, we present basic properties of $EMV$-algebras, give some examples, introduce and investigate congruence relations, ideals and filters on this algebra. We show that each $EMV$-algebra can be embedded into an $MV$-algebra and we characterize $EMV$-algebras either as $MV$-algebras or maximal ideals of $MV$-algebras. We study the lattice of ideals of an $EMV$-algebra and prove that any $EMV$-algebra has at least one maximal ideal. We define an $EMV$-clan of fuzzy sets as a special $EMV$-algebra. We show any semisimple $EMV$-algebra is isomorphic to an $EMV$-clan of fuzzy functions on a set. We consider the variety of $EMV$-algebra and we present an equational base for each proper subvariety of the variety of $EMV$-algebras. We establish a categorical equivalencies of the category of proper $EMV$-algebras, the category of $MV$-algebras with a fixed special maximal ideal, and a special category of Abelian unital $\ell$-groups.

On epicomplete $MV$-algebras

The aim of the paper is to study epicomplete objects in the category of $MV$-algebras. A relation between injective $MV$-algebras and epicomplete $MV$-algebras is found, an equivalence condition for an $MV$-algebra to be epicomplete is obtained, and it is shown that the class of divisible $MV$-algebras and the class of epicomplete $MV$-algebras are the same. Finally, the concept of an epicompletion for $MV$-algebras is introduced, and the conditions under which an $MV$-algebra has an epicompletion are obtained. As a result we show that each $MV$-algebra has an epicompletion.

When Lexicographic Product of Two po-Groups has the Riesz Decomposition Property

We study conditions when a certain type of the Riesz Decomposition Property (RDP for short) holds in the lexicographic product of two po-groups. Defining two important properties of po-groups, we extend known situations showing that the lexicographic product satisfies RDP or even RDP$_1$, a stronger type of RDP. We recall that a very strong type of RDP, RDP$_2$, entails that the group is lattice ordered. RDP's of the lexicographic products are important for the study of lexicographic pseudo effect algebras, or perfect types of pseudo MV-algebras and pseudo effect algebras, where infinitesimal elements play an important role both for algebras as well as for the first order logic of valid but not provable formulas.

Orthocomplete Pseudo MV-algebras

Pseudo $MV$-algebras are a non-commutative generalization of $MV$-algebras. The main purpose of the paper is to introduce and investigate orthocomplete pseudo $MV$-algebras. We use the concepts of projectable pseudo $MV$-algebras and large pseudo $MV$-subalgebras to introduce orthocomplete pseudo $MV$-algebras. Then we apply a generalization of the Mundici's functor to an orthocompletion of an representable $\ell$-group to prove that each representable pseudo $MV$-algebra has an orthocompletion. In particular, our results are valid also for $MV$-algebras.

Some results on $L$-complete lattices

The paper deals with special types of $L$-ordered set, $L$-fuzzy complete lattices, and fuzzy directed complete posets (fuzzy $dcpo$s). First, a theorem for constructing monotone maps is proved, a characterization for monotone maps on an $L$-fuzzy complete lattice is obtained, and it is proved that if $f$ is a monotone map on an $L$-fuzzy complete lattice $(P;e)$, then $\sqcap S_f$ is the least fixpoint of $f$. A relation between $L$-fuzzy complete lattices and fixpoints is found and fuzzy versions of monotonicity, rolling, fusion and exchange rules on $L$-complete lattices are stated. Finally, we investigate $Hom(P,P)$, where $(P;e)$ is a fuzzy $dcpo$, and we show that $Hom(P,P)$ is a fuzzy $dcpo$, the map $γ\mapsto \bigwedge_{x\in P}e(x,γ(x))$ is a fuzzy directed subset of $Hom(P,P)$, and we investigate its join.

Pseudo Equality Algebras -- Revision

Recently Jenei introduced a new structure called equality algebras which is inspired by ideas of BCK-algebras with meet. These algebras were generalized by Jenei and Kóródi to pseudo equality algebras which are aimed to find a connection with pseudo BCK-algebras with meet. We show that every pseudo equality algebra is an equality algebra. Therefore, we define a new type of pseudo equality algebras which more precisely reflects the relation to pseudo BCK-algebras with meet in the sense of Kabziński and Wroński. We describe congruences via normal closed deductive systems, and we show that the variety of pseudo equality algebras is subtractive, congruence distributive and congruence permutable.
