We discuss the ultrasimplicial property of lattice-ordered abelian groups and their associated MV-algebras. We give a constructive proof of the fact that every lattice-ordered abelian group generated by three elements is ultrasimplicial.
The notion of adjoint entropy for endomorphisms of an Abelian group is somehow dual to that of algebraic entropy. The Abelian groups of zero adjoint entropy, i.e. ones whose endomorphisms all have zero adjoint entropy, are investigated. Torsion groups and cotorsion groups satisfying this condition are characterized. It is shown that many classes of torsionfree groups contain groups of either zero or infinite adjoint entropy. In particular, no characterization of torsionfree groups of zero adjoint...
