In this paper we deal with the of an $MV$-algebra $\mathcal A$, where $\alpha $ and $\beta $ are nonzero cardinals. It is proved that if $\mathcal A$ is singular and $(\alpha,2)$-distributive, then it is . We show that if $\mathcal A$ is complete then it can be represented as a direct product of $MV$-algebras which are homogeneous with respect to higher degrees of distributivity.
The notion of the half linearly ordered group (and, more generally, of the half lattice ordered group) was introduced by Giraudet and Lucas [2]. In the present paper we define the lexicographic product of half linearly ordered groups. This definition includes as a particular case the lexicographic product of linearly ordered groups. We investigate the problem of the existence of isomorphic refinements of two lexicographic product decompositions of a half linearly ordered group. The analogous problem for linearly ordered groups was dealt with by Maltsev [5]; his result was generalized by Fuchs [1] and the author [3]. The isomorphic refinements of small direct product decompositions of half lattice ordered groups were studied in [4].
For an abelian lattice ordered group G let conv G be the system of all compatible convergences on G; this system is a meet semilattice but in general it fails to be a lattice. Let and be the convergence on G which is generated by the set of all nearly disjoint sequences in G, and let a be any element of conv G. In the present paper we prove that the join and V a does exist in conv G.
In this paper we deal with a homogeneity condition for an $MV$-algebra concerning a generalized cardinal property. As an application, we consider the homogeneity with respect to $\alpha $-completeness, where $\alpha $ runs over the class of all infinite cardinals.
Freytes proved a theorem of Cantor-Bernstein type for algbras; he applied certain sequences of central elements of bounded lattices. The aim of the present paper is to extend the mentioned result to the case when the lattices under consideration need not be bounded; instead of sequences of central elements we deal with sequences of internal direct factors of lattices.
We denote by $F_a$ the class of all abelian lattice ordered groups $H$ such that each disjoint subset of $H$ is finite. In this paper we prove that if $G \in F_a$, then the cut completion of $G$ coincides with the Dedekind completion of $G$.
