Subvarieties of pointed Abelian l-groups

Filip Jankovec

This paper provides a complete classification of the subvarieties and subquasivarieties of pointed Abelian lattice-ordered groups ($\ell$-groups) that are generated by their totally ordered members. We present two complementary approaches to achieve this classification. First, using purely $\ell$-group-theoretic methods, we analyze the structure of lexicographic products and values to identify all join-irreducible members of the lattice of subvarieties of positively pointed Abelian $\ell$-groups. We provide a novel equational basis for each of these subvarieties, leading to a complete description of the entire subvariety lattice. As a direct application, our $\ell$-group-theoretic classification yields an alternative, self-contained proof of Komori's classification of subvarieties of MV-algebras. Second, we explore the connection to MV-algebras via Mundici's $Γ$ functor. We prove that this functor preserves universal classes, a result of independent model-theoretic interest. This allows us to lift the classification of universal classes of totally ordered MV-algebras, due to Gispert, to a complete classification of universal classes of totally ordered pointed Abelian $\ell$-groups. As a direct consequence, we obtain a full description of the corresponding lattice of subquasivarieties.

Satisfiability in Łukasiewicz logic and its unbounded relative

Zuzana Haniková, Filip Jankovec

Unbounded Łukasiewicz logic is a substructural logic that combines features of infinite-valued Łukasiewicz logic with those of abelian logic. The logic is finitely strongly complete w.r.t.~the additive $\ell$-group on the reals expanded with a distinguished element $-1$. We show that the existential theory of this structure is NP-complete. This provides a complexity upper bound for the set of theorems and the finite consequence relation of unbounded Łukasiewicz logic. The result is obtained by reducing the problem to the existential theory of the MV-algebra on the reals, the standard semantics of Łukasiewicz logic. This provides a new connection between both logics. The result entails a translation of the existential theory of the standard MV-algebra into itself.
