Varieties of Commutative Integral Bounded Residuated Lattices Admitting a Boolean Retraction Term

Let BℝL denote the variety of commutative integral bounded residuated lattices (bounded residuated lattices for short). A Boolean retraction term for a subvariety V of BℝL is a unary term t in the language of bounded residuated lattices such that for every A ∈ V, tA, the interpretation of the term o...

description Let BℝL denote the variety of commutative integral bounded residuated lattices (bounded residuated lattices for short). A Boolean retraction term for a subvariety V of BℝL is a unary term t in the language of bounded residuated lattices such that for every A ∈ V, tA, the interpretation of the term on A, defines a retraction from A onto its Boolean skeleton B(A). It is shown that Boolean retraction terms are equationally definable, in the sense that there is a variety such that a variety admits the unary term t as a Boolean retraction term if and only if V ⊆ Vt. Moreover, the equation s(x) = t(x) holds in Vs∪Vt. The radical of A ∈ BℝL, with the structure of an unbounded residuated lattice with the operations inherited from A expanded with a unary operation corresponding to double negation and a a binary operation defined in terms of the monoid product and the negation, is called the radical algebra of A. To each involutive variety V ⊆ Vt is associated a variety Vr formed by the isomorphic copies of the radical algebras of the directly indecomposable algebras in V. Each free algebra in such V is representable as a weak Boolean product of directly indecomposable algebras over the Stone space of the free Boolean algebra with the same number of free generators, and the radical algebra of each directly indecomposable factor is a free algebra in the associated variety Vr, also with the same number of free generators.
