minimal prime; spectral topology; inverse topology; congruence
Summary:
We introduce the inverse topology on the set of all minimal prime ideals of an MV-algebra $A$ and show that the set of all minimal prime ideals of $A$, namely ${\rm Min}(A)$, with the inverse topology is a compact space, Hausdorff, $T_{0}$-space and $T_{1}$-space. \endgraf Furthermore, we prove that the spectral topology on ${\rm Min}(A)$ is a zero-dimensional Hausdorff topology and show that the spectral topology on ${\rm Min}(A)$ is finer than the inverse topology on ${\rm Min}(A)$. Finally, by open sets of the inverse topology, we define and study a congruence relation of an MV-algebra.
