Abstract
Let be the theory of lattice-ordered, convex subrings of von Neumann regular real closed rings that are divisible-projectable, sc-regular ([12]) and have no minimal (non zero) idempotents. In this paper, we introduce and study a local divisibility binary relation that, added to the language for lattice-ordered rings, together with the (usual) divisibility relation and the radical relation associated to the minimal prime spectrum ([19]) yields quantifier elimination for .
期刊介绍:
The journal Annals of Pure and Applied Logic publishes high quality papers in all areas of mathematical logic as well as applications of logic in mathematics, in theoretical computer science and in other related disciplines. All submissions to the journal should be mathematically correct, well written (preferably in English)and contain relevant new results that are of significant interest to a substantial number of logicians. The journal also considers submissions that are somewhat too long to be published by other journals while being too short to form a separate memoir provided that they are of particular outstanding quality and broad interest. In addition, Annals of Pure and Applied Logic occasionally publishes special issues of selected papers from well-chosen conferences in pure and applied logic.
