Equivalence \`a la Mundici for commutative lattice-ordered monoids

Logic 2022-11-09 v3

Abstract

We provide a generalization of Mundici's equivalence between unital Abelian lattice-ordered groups and MV-algebras: the category of unital commutative lattice-ordered groups is equivalent to the category of MV-monoidal algebras. Roughly speaking, the structures we call unital commutative lattice-ordered groups are unital Abelian lattice-ordered groups without the unary operation xxx \mapsto -x. The primitive operations are ++, \lor, \land, 00, 11, 1-1. A prime example of these structures is R\mathbb{R}, with the obvious interpretation of the operations. Analogously, MV-monoidal algebras are MV-algebras without the negation x¬xx \mapsto \lnot x. The primitive operations are \oplus, \odot, \lor, \land, 00, 11. A motivating example of MV-monoidal algebra is the negation-free reduct of the standard MV-algebra [0,1]R[0, 1] \subseteq \mathbb{R}. We obtain the original Mundici's equivalence as a corollary of our main result.
