Observables on -MV algebras and -lattice effect algebras
Effect algebras were introduced as abstract models of the set of quantum effects which represent sharp and unsharp properties of physical systems and play a basic role in the foundations of quantum mechanics. In the present paper, observables on lattice ordered -effect algebras and their “smearings” with respect to (weak) Markov kernels are studied. It is shown that the range of any observable is contained in a block, which is a -MV algebra, and every observable is defined by a smearing of a sharp...
