m-zeroids
Abbreviation: MZrd
Definition
An \emph{m-zeroid} is a algebra A=⟨A,∧,∨,+,0,−⟩ such that
⟨A,+⟩ is a commutative semigroup
⟨A,∧,∨⟩ is a lattice
−x=x
x+0=0
x+−x=0
x≤y⟺0=−x+y
x+(y∨z)=(x+y)∨(x+z)
Morphisms
Let A and B be MV-algebras. A morphism from A to B is a function h:A→B that is a homomorphism:
h(x+y)=h(x)+h(y), h(x∧y)=h(x)∧h(y), h(x∨y)=h(x)∨h(y), h(−x)=−h(x), h(0)=0
Examples
Example 1:
Basic results
All subdirectly irreducible algebras are linearly ordered.
The lattice is always bounded, with top element 0.
The bottom element −0 is the identity of +.
The dual operation x⋅y=−(−y+−x) is the fusion of a commutative integral involutive semilinear residuated lattice. In fact, m-zeroids are precisely the duals of these residuated lattices, which are also known as involutive IMTL algebras.
