Under this approach, non-lattice binary operations are each presented as a pair of partial binary operations on dual spaces. In this enriched environment, equational conditions on the algebraic side of the duality may more often be rendered as first-order conditions on dual spaces. In particular, we specialize our general results to the variety of MV-algebras, obtaining a duality for these in which the equations axiomatizing MV-algebras are dualized as first-order conditions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-02-28T13:56:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "06D50", "06D35", "03G10" ], "keywords": [ "dual spaces", "first-order conditions", "non-lattice binary operations", "partial binary operations", "equations axiomatizing mv-algebras" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
