A discrete representation of free MV-algebras
We prove that the $n$-generated free MV-algebra is isomorphic to a quotient of the disjoint union of all the $n$-generated free MV$^{(n)}$-algebras. Such a quotient can be seen as the direct limit of a system consisting of all free MV${}^{(n)}$-algebras and special maps between them as morphisms.

Advances in the theory of muLPi algebras
Recently an expansion of \rm L {\rm\Pi\frac{1}{2}} logic with fixed points has been considered. In the present work we study the algebraic semantics of this logic, namely \mu L\Pi algebras, from algebraic, model theoretic and computational standpoints.
We provide a characterisation of free \mu L\Pi algebras as a family of particular functions from [0,1]^{n} to [0,1]. We show that the first-order theory of linearly ordered \mu L\Pi-algebras enjoys quantifier elimination, being, more precisely, the model completion of the theory of linearly ordered \rm L {\rm\Pi\frac{1}{2}} algebras. Furthermore, we give a functional representation of any \rm L {\rm\Pi\frac{1}{2}} algebra in the style of Di Nola Theorem for MV-algebras and finally we prove that the equational theory of \mu L\Pi algebras is in PSPACE.
