    Orthogonal decompositions of MV-spaces

    Full text link
    A maximal disjoint subset SS of an MVMV-algebra AA is a basis iff {xA:xa}\{x \in A : x \leq a \} is a linearly ordered subset of AA for all aSa \in S. Let \Spec A be the set of the prime ideals of AA with the usual spectral topology. A decomposition \Spec A = \cup_{i \in I} T_{i} \cup X is said to be orthogonal iff each TiT_{i} is compact open and S={ai}iIS = \{a_{i}\}_{i\in I} is a maximal disjoint subset. We prove that this decomposition is unrefinable (i.e. no Ti=ΘYT_{i} = \Theta \cap Y with Θ\Theta open, ΘY=\Theta \cap Y = \emptyset, int Y=Y = \emptyset) iff SS is a basis. Many results are established for semisimple MVMV-algebras, which are the algebraic counterpart of Bold fuzzy set theory

    The stable topology for MV-algebras

    No full text
    Like happens in the commutative rings with unit and in the bounded distributive lattices, the pure ideals of A are characterized via the closed subsets of the hull-kernel topology of Max A, the space of the maximal ideals of A. Opens and stable opens of Max A coincide. Some classes of MV-algebras are also described in terms of their pure ideals

    On generalizing the Nullstellensatz for MV algebras

    No full text
    In this article, first we generalize from the MV algebra [0,1] to an arbitrary MV algebra A the well-known Galois connection (V,I) between the powerset of each power of [0,1] and the powerset of the corresponding free MV algebra. Then, in analogy with the Nullstellensatz of classical algebraic geometry, we study the closure operators obtained by composing the functors V and I
