On the Lebesgue decomposition of a function relative to a -ideal of an orthomodular lattice
On the Lebesgue decomposition of the normal states of a JBW-algebra
In this article, a theorem is proved asserting that any linear functional defined on a JBW-algebra admits a Lebesque decomposition with respect to any normal state defined on the algebra. Then we show that the positivity (and the unicity) of this decomposition is insured for the trace states defined on the algebra. In fact, this property can be used to give a new characterization of the trace states amoungst all the normal states.
On the need to adapt de Finetti's probability interpretation to QM
von Neumann's reliance on the von Mises frequentist interpretation is discussed and compared with the Dutchbook approach proposed by de Finetti.
On the set representation of an orthomodular poset
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...
On the structure of numerical event spaces
The probability of the occurrence of an event pertaining to a physical system which is observed in different states determines a function from the set of states of the system to . The function is called a numerical event or multidimensional probability. When appropriately structured, sets of numerical events form so-called algebras of -probabilities. Their main feature is that they are orthomodular partially ordered sets of functions with an inherent full set of states. A classical...

Orthocomplemented difference lattices with few generators
The algebraic theory of quantum logics overlaps in places with certain areas of cybernetics, notably with the field of artificial intelligence (see, e. g., [19, 20]). Recently an effort has been exercised to advance with logics that possess a symmetric difference ([13, 14]) - with so called orthocomplemented difference lattices (ODLs). This paper further contributes to this effort. In [13] the author constructs an ODL that is not set-representable. This example is quite elaborate. A main result...

Orthomodular lattices with state-separated noncompatible pairs
In the logico-algebraic foundation of quantum mechanics one often deals with the orthomodular lattices (OML) which enjoy state-separating properties of noncompatible pairs (see e.g. , and ). These properties usually guarantee reasonable “richness” of the state space—an assumption needed in developing the theory of quantum logics. In this note we consider these classes of OMLs from the universal algebra standpoint, showing, as the main result, that these classes form quasivarieties. We also illustrate...
