Unification in some substructural logics of BL-algebras and hoops

A b s t r a c t. Abstract. It is shown that substructural logics of kpotent BL-algebras and k-potent hoops have unitary unification (in fact, transparent unifiers) while Basic Fuzzy Logic, BL (the logic of BL-algebras), and ∞-valued Lukasiewicz logic (the logic of MV-algebras) do not have unitary unification. It follows that every k-potent substructural logic containing BL is structurally complete in the restricted sense, but Basic Logic itself is not.
