Abstract
We provide an axiomatization for the variety generated by the -periodic l-pregroup , for every , as well as for all possible joins of such varieties; the finite joins form an ideal in the subvariety lattice of l-pregroups and we describe fully its lattice structure. On the way, we characterize all finitely subdirectly irreducible (FSI) algebras in the variety generated by as the -periodic l-pregroups that have a totally ordered group skeleton (and are not trivial). The finitely generated FSIs that are not l-groups are further characterized as lexicographic products of a (finitely generated) totally ordered abelian l-group and , where .
