Archimedean unital groups with finite unit intervals.
We show some families of lattice effect algebras (a common generalization of orthomodular lattices and MV-effect algebras) each element E of which has atomic center C(E) or the subset S(E) of all sharp elements, resp. the center of compatibility B(E) or every block M of E. The atomicity of E or its sub-lattice effect algebras C(E), S(E), B(E) and blocks M of E is very useful equipment for the investigations of its algebraic and topological properties, the existence or smearing of states on E, questions...
More precisely, we are analyzing some of H. Simmons, S. B. Niefield and K. I. Rosenthal results concerning sublocales induced by subspaces. H. Simmons was concerned with the question when the coframe of sublocales is Boolean; he recognized the role of the axiom for the relation of certain degrees of scatteredness but did not emphasize its role in the relation between sublocales and subspaces. S. B. Niefield and K. I. Rosenthal just mention this axiom in a remark about Simmons’ result. In this...
