On a New Construction of Pseudo BL-Algebras

Abstract: We present a new construction of a class pseudo BL-algebras, called kite pseudo BL-algebras. We start with a basic pseudo hoop $A$. Using two injective mappings from one set, $J$, into the second one, $I$, and with an identical copy $\overline A$ with the reverse order we construct a pseudo BL-algebra where the lower part is of the form $(\overline A)<sup>J$ and the upper one is $A<sup>I$. Starting with a basic commutative hoop we can obtain even a non-commutative pseudo BL-algebra or a pseudo MV-algebra, or an algebra with non-commuting negations. We describe the construction, subdirect irreducible kite pseudo BL-algebras and their classification.
