Sqrt-quasi-MV-algebras

Abbreviation: sqMV

Definition

A \emph{quasi-MV-algebra}1) is a structure A=A,,,,0,1,k such that is a unary operation,

A=A,,,0,1 is a quasi-MV-algebra,

x=x,

k=k, and

(x0)0=k.

Morphisms

Let A and B be qMV-algebras. A morphism from A to B is a function h:AB that is a homomorphism:

h(xy)=h(x)h(y), h(x)=h(x), h(0)=0, h(k)=k.

Examples

The standard qMV-algebra is Sr=[0,1]2,,,,0,1,k where a,bc,d=min, \sqrt{'}\langle a,b\rangle'=\langle b,1-a\rangle, \langle a,b\rangle'=\langle 1-a,1-b\rangle, \mathbf 0=\langle 0,\frac12\rangle, \mathbf 1=\langle 1,\frac12\rangle and \mathbf k=\langle \frac12,\frac12\rangle.

Basic results

The variety of \sqrt{'}qMV-algebras is generated by the standard \sqrt{'}qMV-algebra.

The operation \oplus is commutative: x\oplus y = y\oplus x.

Only the trivial \sqrt{'}qMV-algebra is an MV-algebra.
