Residuated structures, concentric sums and finiteness conditions. (English) Zbl 1298.03117

Summary: This article is motivated by a concern with finiteness conditions on varieties of residuated structures – particularly residuated meet semilattice-ordered commutative monoids. A “concentric sum” construction is developed and is used to prove, among other results, a local finiteness theorem for a class that encompasses all \(n\)-potent hoops and all idempotent subdirect products of residuated chains. This in turn implies that a range of residuated lattice-based varieties have the finite embeddability property, whence their quasi-equational theories are decidable. Applications to substructural logics are discussed.
