States on basic algebras

Ivan Chajda, Helmut Länger (2017)

Mathematica Bohemica

States on commutative basic algebras were considered in the literature as generalizations of states on MV-algebras. It was a natural question if states exist also on basic algebras which are not commutative. We answer this question in the positive and give several examples of such basic algebras and their states. We prove elementary properties of states on basic algebras. Moreover, we introduce the concept of a state-morphism and characterize it among states. For basic algebras which are the certain...

Symmetric difference on orthomodular lattices and Z 2 -valued states

Milan Matoušek, Pavel 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.

The axioms for implication in orthologic

Ivan Chajda (2008)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We set up axioms characterizing logical connective implication in a logic derived by an ortholattice. It is a natural generalization of an orthoimplication algebra given by J. C. Abbott for a logic derived by an orthomodular lattice.

The exocenter and type decomposition of a generalized pseudoeffect algebra

David J. Foulis, Silvia Pulmannová, Elena Vinceková (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

We extend the notion of the exocenter of a generalized effect algebra (GEA) to a generalized pseudoeffect algebra (GPEA) and show that elements of the exocenter are in one-to-one correspondence with direct decompositions of the GPEA; thus the exocenter is a generalization of the center of a pseudoeffect algebra (PEA). The exocenter forms a boolean algebra and the central elements of the GPEA correspond to elements of a sublattice of the exocenter which forms a generalized boolean algebra. We extend...
