AbstractAn effect algebra (EA) is a partial algebraic structure, originally formulated as an algebraic base for unsharp quantum measurements. The class of EAs includes, as special cases, several partially ordered algebraic structures, including orthomodular lattices (OMLs) and orthomodular posets (OMPs), hitherto used as mathematical models for experimentally verifiable propositions pertaining to physical systems. Moreover, MV-algebras, which are mathematical models for many-valued logics, are special cases of EAs. The present paper studies generalizations to EAs of the hull mapping featured in L. Loomis’s dimension theory for complete OMLs and develops a theory of direct decomposition for EAs with a hull mapping. A. Sherstnev and V. Kalinin have extended Loomis’s dimension theory to orthocomplete OMPs, and here it is further extended to orthocomplete EAs; moreover, a corresponding direct decomposition into types I, II, and III is obtained using the hull mapping induced by the dimension equivalence relation.

Lattice effect algebras generalize orthomodular lattices as well as MV-algebras. This means that within lattice effect algebras it is possible to model such effects as unsharpness (fuzziness) and/or non-compatibility. The main problem is the existence of a state. There are lattice effect algebras with no state. For this reason we need some conditions that simplify checking the existence of a state. If we know that the center C(E) of an atomic Archimedean lattice effect algebra E (which is again atomic) is a bifull sublattice of E, then we are able to represent E as a subdirect product of lattice effect algebras Ei where the top element of each one of Ei is an atom of C(E). In this case it is enough if we find a state at least in one of Ei and we are able to extend this state to the whole lattice effect algebra E. In [8] an atomic lattice effect algebra E (in fact, an atomic orthomodular lattice) with atomic center C(E) was constructed, where C(E) is not a bifull sublattice of E. In this paper we show that for atomic lattice effect algebras E (atomic orthomodular lattices) neither completeness (and atomicity) of C(E) nor σ-completeness of E are sufficient conditions for C(E) to be a bifull sublattice of E.

Abstract The Hilbert space effect algebra is a fundamental mathematical structure which is used to describe unsharp quantum measurements in Ludwig’s formulation of quantum mechanics. Each effect represents a quantum (fuzzy) event. The relation of coexistence plays an important role in this theory, as it expresses when two quantum events can be measured together by applying a suitable apparatus. This paper’s first goal is to answer a very natural question about this relation, namely, when two effects are coexistent with exactly the same effects? The other main aim is to describe all automorphisms of the effect algebra with respect to the relation of coexistence. In particular, we will see that they can differ quite a lot from usual standard automorphisms, which appear for instance in Ludwig’s theorem. As a byproduct of our methods we also strengthen a theorem of Molnár.

A state operator on effect algebras is introduced as an additive, idempotent and unital mapping from the effect algebra into itself. The definition is inspired by the definition of an internal state on MV-algebras, recently introduced by Flaminio and Montagna. We study state operators on convex effect algebras, and show their relations with conditional expectations on operator algebras.

We investigate relations of the two classes of filters in effect algebras (resp., MV-algebras). We prove that a lattice filter in a lattice ordered effect algebra (resp., MV-algebra) does not need to be an effect algebra filter (resp., MV-filter). In general, in MV-algebras, every MV-filter is also a lattice filter. Every lattice filter in a lattice ordered effect algebra is an effect algebra filter if and only if is an orthomodular lattice. Every lattice filter in an MV-algebra is an MV-filter if and only if is a Boolean algebra.

AbstractA mutual relationship between MV-algebras and coupled semirings as established by L. P. Belluce, A. Di Nola, A. R. Ferraioli and B. Gerla is extended to lattice effect algebras and so-called characterizing triples. We show that this correspondence is in fact one-to-one and hence every lattice effect algebra can be considered as an ordered triple consisting of two semiring-like structures and an antitone involution which is an isomorphism between these structures.

We introduce rough approximations into basic algebras. After investigating elementary properties of the upper (lower) approximations in basic algebras and discussing the convexity of these two approximations in linearly ordered basic algebras, we generalize related results for MV-algebras, lattice ordered effect algebras, and orthomodular lattices to basic algebras. We also study the relationship between upper (lower) rough ideals of basic algebras and upper (lower) approximations of their homomorphic images.

Effect algebras, introduced by Foulis and Bennett in 1994, are partial algebras which generalise some well known classes of algebraic structures (for example orthomodular lattices, MV algebras, orthoalgebras et cetera). In the present paper, we introduce a new class of effect algebras, calledhomogeneous effect algebras. This class includes orthoalgebras, lattice ordered effect algebras and effect algebras satisfying the Riesz decomposition property. We prove that every homogeneous effect algebra is a union of its blocks, which we define as maximal sub-effect algebras satisfying the Riesz decomposition property. This generalizes a recent result by Riec˘anová, in which lattice ordered effect algebras were considered. Moreover, the notion of a block of a homogeneous effect algebra is a generalisation of the notion of a block of an orthoalgebra. We prove that the set of all sharp elements in a homogeneous effect algebraEforms an orthoalgebraEs. Every block ofEsis the centre of a block ofE. The set of all sharp elements in the compatibility centre ofEcoincides with the centre ofE. Finally, we present some examples of homogeneous effect algebras and we prove that for a Hilbert space ℍ with dim (ℍ) > 1, the standard effect algebra ℰ(ℍ) of all effects in ℰ is not homogeneous.

AbstractThe variety of (pointed) residuated lattices includes a vast proportion of the classes of algebras that are relevant for algebraic logic, e.g., $$\ell $$ ℓ -groups, Heyting algebras, MV-algebras, or De Morgan monoids. Among the outliers, one counts orthomodular lattices and other varieties of quantum algebras. We suggest a common framework—pointed left-residuated $$\ell $$ ℓ -groupoids—where residuated structures and quantum structures can all be accommodated. We investigate the lattice of subvarieties of pointed left-residuated $$\ell $$ ℓ -groupoids, their ideals, and develop a theory of left nuclei. Finally, we extend some parts of the theory of join-completions of residuated $$\ell $$ ℓ -groupoids to the left-residuated case, giving a new proof of MacLaren’s theorem for orthomodular lattices.

AbstractBounded Rℓ-monoids form a large subclass of the class of residuated lattices which contains certain of algebras of fuzzy and intuitionistic logics, such as GMV-algebras (= pseudo-MV-algebras), pseudo-BL-algebras and Heyting algebras. Moreover, GMV-algebras and pseudo-BL-algebras can be recognized as special kinds of pseudo-MV-effect algebras and pseudo-weak MV-effect algebras, i.e., as algebras of some quantum logics. In the paper, bipartite, local and perfect Rℓ-monoids are investigated and it is shown that every good perfect Rℓ-monoid has a state (= an analogue of probability measure).
