We introduce perfect effect algebras and we show that every perfect algebra is an interval in the lexicographical product of the group of all integers with an Abelian directed interpolation po-group. To show this we introduce prime ideals of effect algebras with the Riesz decomposition property (RDP). We show that the category of perfect effect algebras is categorically equivalent to the category of Abelian directed interpolation po-groups. Moreover, we prove that any perfect effect algebra is a subdirect product of antilattice effect algebras with the RDP.

We show that monotone σ -complete effect algebras under some conditions are σ - homomorphic images of effect-tribes (as monotone σ -complete effect algebras), which are nonempty systems of fuzzy sets closed under complements, sums of fuzzy sets less than 1, and containing all pointwise limits of nondecreasing fuzzy sets. Because effect-tribes are generalizations of Boolean σ -algebras of subsets, we present a generlization of the Loomis-Sikorski theorem for such effect algebras. We show that we can choose an effect-tribe to be a system of affin fuzzy sets. In addition, we present a new version of the Loomis-Sikorski theorem for σ-complete MV-algebras.

Pseudo-effect algebras are partial algebras (E; +, 0, 1) with a partially defined addition + which is not necessary commutative and with two complements, left and right ones. We define central elements of a pseudo-effect algebra and the centre, which in the case of MV-algebras coincides with the set of Boolean elements and in the case of effect algebras with the Riesz decomposition property central elements are only characteristic elements. If E satisfies general comparability, then E is a pseudo MV-algebra. Finally, we apply central elements to obtain a variation of the Cantor-Bernstein theorem for pseudo-effect algebras.
