On the power of ordered sets
The main result of the paper is that for a circular element c in a C*-probability space, is an R-diagonal pair in the sense of Nica and Speicher for every n = 1,2,... The coefficients of the R-series are found to be the generalized Catalan numbers of parameter n-1.
For p ≤ n, let b1(n),...,bp(n) be independent random vectors in with the same distribution invariant by rotation and without mass at the origin. Almost surely these vectors form a basis for the Euclidean lattice they generate. The topic of this paper is the property of reduction of this random basis in the sense of Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovász (LLL). If is the basis obtained from b1(n),...,bp(n) by Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization, the quality of the reduction depends upon the sequence of ratios...
We show that the class of principal ideals and the class of semiprime ideals are rhomboidal hereditary in the class of modular lattices. Similar results are presented for the class of ideals with forbidden exterior quotients and for the class of prime ideals.
In this note we prove that there exists a Carathéodory vector lattice such that and . This yields that is a solution of the Schröder-Bernstein problem for Carathéodory vector lattices. We also show that no Carathéodory Banach lattice is a solution of the Schröder-Bernstein problem.
Let P be an orthomodular poset and let B be a Boolean subalgebra of P. A mapping s:P → ⟨0,1⟩ is said to be a centrally additive B-state if it is order preserving, satisfies s(a') = 1 - s(a), is additive on couples that contain a central element, and restricts to a state on B. It is shown that, for any Boolean subalgebra B of P, P has an abundance of two-valued centrally additive B-states. This answers positively a question raised in [13, Open question, p. 13]. As a consequence one obtains a somewhat...
