Abstract

In 2012, the second author introduced and studied the variety I\mathcal{I} of implication zroupoids that generalize De Morgan algebras and \lor-semilattices with 00. An algebra A=A,,0\mathbf A = \langle A, \to, 0 \rangle, where \to is binary and 00 is a constant, is called an \emph{implication zroupoid} (I\mathcal{I}-zroupoid, for short) if A\mathbf A satisfies: (xy)z[(zx)(yz)](x \to y) \to z \approx [(z' \to x) \to (y \to z)']', where x:=x0x' : = x \to 0, and 00 0'' \approx 0. Let I\mathcal{I} denote the variety of implication zroupoids and AI\mathbf A \in \mathcal{I}. For x,yAx,y \in \mathbf A, let xy:=(xy)x \land y := (x \to y')' and xy:=(xy)x \lor y := (x' \land y')'. In an earlier paper we had proved that if AI\mathbf A \in \mathcal{I}, then the algebra Amj=A,,\mathbf A_{mj} = \langle A, \lor, \land \rangle is a bisemigroup. In this paper we generalize the notion of semi-distributivity from lattices to bisemigroups and prove that, for every AI\mathbf A \in \mathcal{I}, the bisemigroup Amj\mathbf A_{mj} is semidistributive. Secondly, we generalize the Whitman Property from lattices to bisemigroups and prove that the subvariety MEJ\mathcal{MEJ} of I\mathcal I, defined by the identity: xyxyx \land y \approx x \lor y, satisfies the Whitman Property.
