Orthocomplete Pseudo MV-algebras

Abstract

Pseudo $MV$-algebras are a non-commutative generalization of $MV$-algebras. The main purpose of the paper is to introduce and investigate orthocomplete pseudo $MV$-algebras. We use the concepts of projectable pseudo $MV$-algebras and large pseudo $MV$-subalgebras to introduce orthocomplete pseudo $MV$-algebras. Then we apply a generalization of the Mundici's functor to an orthocompletion of an representable $\ell$-group to prove that each representable pseudo $MV$-algebra has an orthocompletion. In particular, our results are valid also for $MV$-algebras.
