Abstract
In this paper we study finitary extensions of the nilpotent minimum logic (NML) or equivalently quasivarieties of NM-algebras. We first study structural completeness of NML, we prove that NML is hereditarily almost structurally complete and moreover NM\(^{-}\), the axiomatic extension of NML given by the axiom \(\lnot (\lnot \varphi ^{2})^{2}\leftrightarrow (\lnot (\lnot \varphi )^{2})^{2}\), is hereditarily structurally complete. We use those results to obtain the full description of the lattice of all quasivarieties of NM-algebras which allow us to characterize and axiomatize all finitary extensions of NML.
