Radical classes and weak radical mappings of GMV-algebras

We use the concept of generalized MV-algebra (GMV-algebra, in short) in the sense of Galatos and Tsinakis; the main tool in their investigation was a truncation construction. The relations between radical classes of GMV-algebras and radical classes of lattice ordered groups are investigated in the present paper. Further, we apply the truncation construction for dealing with weak retract mappings of GMV-algebras.
