On the set representation of an orthomodular poset

John HardingPavel Pták — 2001

Colloquium Mathematicae

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...

Symmetric difference on orthomodular lattices and Z 2 -valued states

Milan MatoušekPavel Pták — 2009

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The investigation of orthocomplemented lattices with a symmetric difference initiated the following question: Which orthomodular lattice can be embedded in an orthomodular lattice that allows for a symmetric difference? In this paper we present a necessary condition for such an embedding to exist. The condition is expressed in terms of Z 2 -valued states and enables one, as a consequence, to clarify the situation in the important case of the lattice of projections in a Hilbert space.

Relatively additive states on quantum logics

Pavel PtákHans Weber — 2005

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we carry on the investigation of partially additive states on quantum logics (see [2], [5], [7], [8], [11], [12], [15], [18], etc.). We study a variant of weak states — the states which are additive with respect to a given Boolean subalgebra. In the first result we show that there are many quantum logics which do not possess any 2-additive central states (any logic possesses an abundance of 1-additive central state — see [12]). In the second result we construct a finite 3-homogeneous...

A measure-theoretic characterization of Boolean algebras among orthomodular lattices

Pavel PtákSylvia Pulmannová — 1994

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We investigate subadditive measures on orthomodular lattices. We show as the main result that an orthomodular lattice has to be distributive (=Boolean) if it possesses a unital set of subadditive probability measures. This result may find an application in the foundation of quantum theories, mathematical logic, or elsewhere.
