Abstract

Group representable relation algebras play an important role in the study of representable relation algebras. The class of distributive involutive FL-algebras (DInFL-algebras) generalises relation algebras, as well as Sugihara monoids and MV-algebras. We construct DInFL-algebras from pregroups and show that they can be represented as algebras of binary relations. Even for finite pregroups we obtain relational representations of DInFL-algebras with non-Boolean lattice reducts. If the pregroup is enriched with a particular unary order-reversing operation, then our construction yields representation results for distributive quasi relation algebras.
