Abstract

For the \(\ell \)-ring F(L) introduced in Karimi Feizabadi et al. (Categ Gen Algebr Struct Appl 5:85–102, 2016) and then shown to have an embedding into the familiar \(\ell \)-ring \({\mathfrak R}L\) of all real-valued continuous function on a frame L, the resulting image \({\mathfrak S}L\) in \({\mathfrak R}L\) is characterized here by internal properties within \({\mathfrak R}L\). Further, a number of results concerning the \({\mathfrak S}L\) are obtained on the basis of this characterization.
