It is well-known that every MV-algebra is a distributive lattice with respect to the induced order. Replacing this lattice by the so-called directoid (introduced by J. Ježek and R. Quackenbush) we obtain a weaker structure, the so-called skew MV-algebra. The paper is devoted to the axiomatization of skew MV-algebras, their properties and a description of the induced implication algebras.
Using the concept of the λ-lattice introduced recently by V. Snášel we define λ-lattices with antitone involutions. For them we establish a correspondence to ring-like structures similarly as it was done for ortholattices and pseudorings, for Boolean algebras and Boolean rings or for lattices with an antitone involution and the so-called Boolean quasirings.
