Direct decompositions of dually residuated lattice-ordered monoids
The class of dually residuated lattice ordered monoids (DRl-monoids) contains, in an appropriate signature, all l-groups, Brouwerian algebras, MV- and GMV-algebras, BL- and pseudo BL-algebras, etc. In the paper we study direct products and decompositions of DRl-monoids in general and we characterize ideals of DRl-monoids which are direct factors. The results are then applicable to all above mentioned special classes of DRl-monoids.
