https://doi.org/10.4467/20842589RM.13.001.1201In the present paper, which is a sequel to [20, 4, 12], we investigate further the structure theory of quasi-MV algebras and √ quasi-MV algebras. In particular: we provide a new representation of arbitrary √ qMV algebras in terms of √ qMV algebras arising out of their MV* term subreducts of regular elements; we investigate in greater detail the structure of the lattice of √ qMV varieties, proving that it is uncountable, providing equational bases for some of its members, as well as analysing a number of slices of special interest; we show that the variety of √ qMV algebras has the amalgamation property; we provide an axiomatisation of the 1-assertional logic of √ qMV algebras; lastly, we reconsider the correspondence between Cartesian √ qMV algebras and a category of Abelian lattice-ordered groups with operators first addressed in [10].
