Generalized Specker lattice-ordered groups and two types of distributivity

Let A be a lattice-ordered group, B a generalized Boolean algebra. The Boolean extension A B of A has been investigated in the literature; we will refer to A B as a generalized Specker lattice-ordered group (namely, if A is the linearly ordered group of all integers, then A B is a Specker lattice-ordered group). The paper establishes that some distributivity laws extend from A B to both A and B, and (under certain circumstances) also conversely.

On α-complete retracts of specker lattice ordered groups

Let α be a cardinal. The notion of α-complete retract of a Boolean algebra has been studied by Dwinger. Specker lattice ordered groups were investigated by Conrad and Darnel. Assume that G is a Specker lattice ordered group generated by a Boolean algebra B(G). The notion of α-complete retract of G can be defined analogously as in the case of Boolean algebras. In the present paper we deal with the relations between α-complete retracts of G and α-complete retracts of B(G).
