Rings and Gödel algebras
In this paper, we study those rings whose semiring of ideals can be given the structure of a Gödel algebra. Such rings are called Gödel rings. We investigate such structures both from an algebraic and a topological point of view. Our main result states that every Gödel ring R is a subdirect product of prime Gödel rings Ri, and the Gödel algebra Id(R) associated to R is subdirectly embeddable as an algebraic lattice into ∏i Id(Ri), where each Id(Ri) is the algebraic lattice of ideals of Ri that can be equipped with the structure of a Gödel algebra. We see that the mapping associating to each Gödel ring its Gödel algebra of ideals is functorial from the category of Gödel rings with epimorphisms into the full subcategory of frames whose objects are Gödel algebras and whose morphisms are complete epimorphisms. © 2010 Springer Basel AG.

Abstract

In this paper, we study those rings whose semiring of ideals can be given the structure of a Gödel algebra. Such rings are called Gödel rings. We investigate such structures both from an algebraic and a topological point of view. Our main result states that every Gödel ring R is a subdirect product of prime Gödel rings Ri, and the Gödel algebra Id(R) associated to R is subdirectly embeddable as an algebraic lattice into ∏i Id(Ri), where each Id(Ri) is the algebraic lattice of ideals of Ri that can be equipped with the structure of a Gödel algebra. We see that the mapping associating to each Gödel ring its Gödel algebra of ideals is functorial from the category of Gödel rings with epimorphisms into the full subcategory of frames whose objects are Gödel algebras and whose morphisms are complete epimorphisms. © 2010 Springer Basel AG.
