  MV-algebras and Riesz MV-algebras are categorically equivalent to abelian
lattice-ordered groups with strong unit and, respectively, with Riesz spaces
(vector-lattices) with strong unit. A standard construction in the literature
of lattice-ordered groups is the vector-lattice hull of an archimedean
lattice-ordered group. Following a similar approach, in this paper we define
the Riesz hull of a semisimple MV-algebra.
