Abstract

MV-algebras are a generalization of Boolean algebras. As is well known, a free generating set {bi | i ∈ X} for a Boolean algebra is characterized by the following simple algebraic condition: whenever A and B are finite disjoint subsets of X then Vbi2A bi ∧ Vbj2B ¬bj 6= 0. Our aim in this note is to give a similar characterization of free generating sets in MV-algebras.
