Quasi-MV-algebras
Abbreviation: qMV
Definition
A \emph{quasi-MV-algebra}1) is a structure $\mathbf{A}=\langle A, \oplus, ', 0, 1\rangle$ such that
$(x\oplus y)\oplus z = x\oplus(y\oplus z)$
$x''=x$
$x \oplus 1 = 1$
$(x'\oplus y)'\oplus y = (y'\oplus x)'\oplus x$
$(x\oplus 0)' = x'\oplus 0$
$(x\oplus 0)\oplus 0 = x\oplus 0$
$0' = 1$
Morphisms
Let $\mathbf{A}$ and $\mathbf{B}$ be MV-algebras. A morphism from $\mathbf{A} $ to $\mathbf{B}$ is a function $h:A\to B$ that is a homomorphism:
$h(x\oplus y)=h(x)\oplus h(y)$, $h(x')=h(x)'$, $h(0)=0$
Examples
The standard qMV-algebra is $\mathbf S=\langle [0,1]^2,\oplus, ', \mathbf 0, \mathbf 1\rangle$ where $\langle a,b\rangle\oplus \langle c,d\rangle=\langle \min(1,a+c), \frac12\rangle$, $\langle a,b\rangle'=\langle 1-a,1-b\rangle$, $\mathbf 0=\langle 0,\frac12\rangle$ and $\mathbf 1=\langle 1,\frac12\rangle$.
Basic results
The variety of qMV-algebras is generated by the standard qMV-algebra.
The operation $\oplus$ is commutative: $x\oplus y = y\oplus x$.
Every qMV-algebra that satisfies $x\oplus 0 = x$ is an MV-algebra.
