Quantifier elimination and other model-theoretic properties of BL-algebras

Quantifier elimination and other model-theoretic properties of BL-algebras
Quantifier elimination and other model-theoretic properties of BL-algebras
This work presents a model-theoretic approach to the study of firstorder theories of classes of BL-chains. Among other facts, we present several classes of BL-algebras, generating the whole variety of BL-algebras whose firstorder theory has quantifier elimination. Model-completeness and decision problems are also investigated. Then we investigate classes of BL-algebras having (or not having) the amalgamation property or the joint embedding property and we relate the above properties to the existence of ultrahomogeneous models. © 2011 by University of Notre Dame.

Abstract

This work presents a model-theoretic approach to the study of firstorder theories of classes of BL-chains. Among other facts, we present several classes of BL-algebras, generating the whole variety of BL-algebras whose firstorder theory has quantifier elimination. Model-completeness and decision problems are also investigated. Then we investigate classes of BL-algebras having (or not having) the amalgamation property or the joint embedding property and we relate the above properties to the existence of ultrahomogeneous models. © 2011 by University of Notre Dame.
