Abstract
The notion of bounded commutative residuated ℓ-monoid (BCR ℓ-monoid, in short) generalizes both the notions of MV-algebra and of BL-algebra. Let
be a BCR ℓ-monoid; we denote by ℓ(
) the underlying lattice of
. In the present paper we show that each direct product decomposition of ℓ(
) determines a direct product decomposition of
. This yields that any two direct product decompositions of
have isomorphic refinements. We consider also the relations between direct product decompositions of
and states on
.
