Abstract:

The category, or class of algebras, in the title is denoted by $bf W$. A hull operator (ho) in $bf W$ is a reflection in the category consisting of $bf W$ objects with only essential embeddings as morphisms. The proper class of all of these is $bf hoW$. The bounded monocoreflection in $bf W$ is denoted $B$. We classify the ho's by their interaction with $B$ as follows. A ``word'' is a function $w: {bf hoW} longrightarrow {bf W}^{bf W}$ obtained as a finite composition of $B$ and $x$ a variable ranging in $bf hoW$. The set of these,``Word'', is in a natural way a partially ordered semigroup of size $6$, order isomorphic to ${rm F}(2)$, the free $0-1$ distributive lattice on $2$ generators. Then, $bf hoW$ is partitioned into $6$ disjoint pieces, by equations and inequations in words, and each piece is represented by a characteristic order-preserving quotient of Word ($approx {rm F}(2)$). Of the $6$: $1$ is of size $geq 2$, $1$ is at least infinite, $2$ are each proper classes, and of these $4$, all quotients are chains; another $1$ is a proper class with unknown quotients; the remaining $1$ is not known to be nonempty and its quotients would not be chains.

Archimedean - like Classes of Lattice - Ordered Groups

Suppose <? denotes a class of totally ordered groups closed under taking subgroups and quotients by o-homomorphisms. We study the following classes: (1) Res (£?), the class of all lattice-ordered groups which are subdirect products of groups in C; (2) Hyp(C), the class of lattice-ordered groups in Res(C) having all their ¿-homomorphic images in Res(<?); Para(C), the class of lattice-ordered gro...

Epi-topology and Epi-convergence for Archimedean Lattice-ordered Groups with Unit

W is the category of archimedean l-groups with distinguished weak order unit, with l-group homomorphisms which preserve unit. This category includes all rings of continuous functions C(X) and all rings of measurable functions modulo null functions, with ring homomorphisms. The authors, and others, have studied previously the epimorphisms (right-cancellable morphisms) in W. There is a rich theor...

Measurement Structures with Archimedean Ordered Translation Groups

The paper focuses on three problems of generalizing properties of concatenation structures (ordered structures with a monotonic operation) to ordered structures lacking any operation. (1) What is the natural generalization of the idea of Archimedeaness, of commensurability between large and small? (2) What is the natural generalization of the concept of a unit concatenation structure in which t...

Classification of Finitely Generated Lattice-ordered Abelian Groups with Order-unit

A unital l-group (G,u) is an abelian group G equipped with a translation-invariant lattice-order and a distinguished element u, called orderunit, whose positive integer multiples eventually dominate each element of G. We classify finitely generated unital l-groups by sequences W = (W0,W1, . . .) of weighted abstract simplicial complexes, where Wt+1 is obtained from Wt either by the classical Al...

Archimedean Unital Groups with Finite Unit Intervals

Let G be a unital group with a finite unit interval E, let n be the number of atoms in E, and let κ be the number of extreme points of the state spaceΩ(G). We introduce canonical order-preserving group homomorphisms ξ : Zn → G and ρ : G → Zκ linking G with the simplicial groups Zn and Zκ . We show that ξ is a surjection and ρ is an injection if and only if G is torsion-free. We give an explicit...

Representation of $H$-closed monoreflections in archimedean $ell$-groups with weak unit

 The category of the title is called $mathcal{W}$. This has all free objects $F(I)$ ($I$ a set). For an object class $mathcal{A}$, $Hmathcal{A}$ consists of all homomorphic images of $mathcal{A}$-objects. This note continues the study of the $H$-closed monoreflections $(mathcal{R}, r)$ (meaning $Hmathcal{R} = mathcal{R}$), about which we show ({em inter alia}): $A in mathcal{A}$ if and  only if...
