Primeness in Quantales

In this paper we propose a new concept of primeness in quantales. It is proved that this concept coincide with classical definition in commutative quantales, but no longer valid in the noncommutative setting. Also, the notions of strong and uniform strong primeness are investigated

On MV - topologies

En este trabajo estamos interesados en un tipo particular de topología fuzzy llamada MV-topología, la cual usa operaciones MV-algebraicas para generar abiertos fuzzy. Estos espacios topológicos fuzzy permiten generalizaciones naturales de definiciones y resultados importantes de la topología clásica. En este sentido, desarrollamos algunos conceptos y resultados centrales, con el proprósito de extender los correspondientes de la topología clásica, y al mismo tiempo siguiendo la ruta de la bien conocida teoría de espacios topológicos fuzzy. Mostramos que las MV-topologías son un tipo de topología fuzzy que goza de muy "buen comportamiento" matemático, en el sentido de que la mayoría de definiciones y resultados clásicos de topología general encuentran una extensión o adaptación natural en este marco. Entre otros resultados, también extendemos el concepto de haz para el caso en el que el espacio base es un espacio MV-topológico, y mostramos una representación por "MV-haces" para una clase de MV-álgebras.DoctoradoDOCTOR(A) EN CIENCIAS - MATEMÁTICA

2-Absorbing Vague Weakly Complete Γ-Ideals in Γ-Rings

The aim of this study is to provide a generalization of prime vague Γ-ideals in Γ-rings by introducing non-symmetric 2-absorbing vague weakly complete Γ-ideals of commutative Γ-rings. A novel algebraic structure of a primary vague Γ-ideal of a commutative Γ-ring is presented by 2-absorbing weakly complete primary ideal theory. The approach of non-symmetric 2-absorbing K-vague Γ-ideals of Γ-rings are examined and the relation between a level subset of 2-absorbing vague weakly complete Γ-ideals and 2-absorbing Γ-ideals is given. The image and inverse image of a 2-absorbing vague weakly complete Γ-ideal of a Γ-ring and 2-absorbing K-vague Γ-ideal of a Γ-ring are studied and a 1-1 inclusion-preserving correspondence theorem is given. A vague quotient Γ-ring of R induced by a 2-absorbing vague weakly complete Γ-ideal of a 2-absorbing Γ-ring is characterized, and a diagram is obtained that shows the relationship between these concepts with a 2-absorbing Γ-ideal

Generic substitutions

Up to equivalence, a substitution in propositional logic is an endomorphism of its free algebra. On the dual space, this results in a continuous function, and whenever the space carries a natural measure one may ask about the stochastic properties of the action. In classical logic there is a strong dichotomy: while over finitely many propositional variables everything is trivial, the study of the continuous transformations of the Cantor space is the subject of an extensive literature, and is far from being a completed task. In many-valued logic this dichotomy disappears: already in the finite-variable case many interesting phenomena occur, and the present paper aims at displaying some of these.Comment: 22 pages, 2 figures.

Sheaf representations of MV-algebras and lattice-ordered abelian groups via duality

We study representations of MV-algebras -- equivalently, unital lattice-ordered abelian groups -- through the lens of Stone-Priestley duality, using canonical extensions as an essential tool. Specifically, the theory of canonical extensions implies that the (Stone-Priestley) dual spaces of MV-algebras carry the structure of topological partial commutative ordered semigroups. We use this structure to obtain two different decompositions of such spaces, one indexed over the prime MV-spectrum, the other over the maximal MV-spectrum. These decompositions yield sheaf representations of MV-algebras, using a new and purely duality-theoretic result that relates certain sheaf representations of distributive lattices to decompositions of their dual spaces. Importantly, the proofs of the MV-algebraic representation theorems that we obtain in this way are distinguished from the existing work on this topic by the following features: (1) we use only basic algebraic facts about MV-algebras; (2) we show that the two aforementioned sheaf representations are special cases of a common result, with potential for generalizations; and (3) we show that these results are strongly related to the structure of the Stone-Priestley duals of MV-algebras. In addition, using our analysis of these decompositions, we prove that MV-algebras with isomorphic underlying lattices have homeomorphic maximal MV-spectra. This result is an MV-algebraic generalization of a classical theorem by Kaplansky stating that two compact Hausdorff spaces are homeomorphic if, and only if, the lattices of continuous [0, 1]-valued functions on the spaces are isomorphic.Comment: 36 pages, 1 tabl

Smarandache rings

Over the past 25 years, I have been immersed in research in Algebra and more particularly in ring theory. I embarked on writing this book on Smarandache rings (Srings) specially to motivate both ring theorists and Smarandache algebraists to develop and study several important and innovative properties about S-rings
