We investigate finite effect algebras and their classification. We show that an effect algebra with $n$ elements has at least $n-2$ and at most $(n-1)(n-2)/2$ nontrivial defined sums. We characterize finite effect algebras with these…
We first show that the convex effect algebras (CEA) approach to quantum mechanics is more general than the general probabilistic theories approach. We then restrict our attention to finite-dimension CEA's. After an introductory Section~1,…
We present a mathematical framework for quantum mechanics in which the basic entities and operations have physical significance. In this framework the primitive concepts are states and effects and the resulting mathematical structure is a…
In this paper we characterize finite effect algebras which have a state. We construct two matrices $A$ and $B$ assigned to a finite effect algebra $E$ and show that if $E$ has a state then rank$A=$ rank$B$.
Effect algebras form an algebraic formalization of the logic of quantum mechanics. For lattice effect algebras E we investigate a natural implication and prove that the implication reduct of E is term equivalent to E. Then we present a…
Effect algebras are a generalization of many structures which arise in quantum physics and in mathematical economics. We show that, in every modular Archimedean atomic lattice effect algebra $E$ that is not an orthomodular lattice there…
We show how an effect algebra $\mathcal{X}$ can be regarded as a category, where the morphisms $x \rightarrow y$ are the elements $f$ such that $x \leq f \leq y$. This gives an embedding $\mathbf{EA} \rightarrow \mathbf{Cat}$. The interval…
Quantum effects play an important role in quantum measurement theory. The set of all quantum effects can be organized into an algebraical structure called effect algebra. In this paper, we study various topologies on the Hilbert space…
Effect algebras form a formal algebraic description of the structure of the so-called effects in a Hilbert space which serves as an event-state space for effects in quantum mechanics. This is why effect algebras are considered as logics of…
Abstract clones serve as an algebraic presentation of the syntax of a simple type theory. From the perspective of universal algebra, they define algebraic theories like those of groups, monoids and rings. This link allows one to study the…
Effect algebras were introduced in order to describe the structure of effects, i.e. events in quantum mechanics. They are partial algebras describing the logic behind the corresponding events. It is natural to ask how to introduce the…
We introduce a class of monotone $\sigma$-complete effect algebras, called representable, which are $\sigma$-homomorphic images of a class of monotone $\sigma$-complete effect algebras of functions taking values in the interval $[0,1]$ and…
We know that each effect algebra $E$ is isomorphic to $\pi(X)$ for some $E$-test spaces $(X,{\cal T})$.We describe when $\pi(x)\lor \pi(y)$ and $\pi(x)\land\pi(y)$ exists for $x,y\in{\cal E}(X,{\cal T})$. Moreover we give the formula for…
An elegant description of the general form of order automorphisms of effect algebras has been known in the complex case. We present a much simpler proof based on the projective geometry which works also in the real case. As an application…
In this paper we characterize the effect algebras whose sharp and principal elements coincide. We also give examples of two non-isomorphic effect algebras having the same universum, partial order and orthosupplementation.
We study observables on monotone $\sigma$-complete effect algebras. We find conditions when a spectral resolution implies existence of the corresponding observable. The set of sharp elements of a monotone $\sigma$-complete homogeneous…
An often used model for quantum theory is to associate to every physical system a C*-algebra. From a physical point of view it is unclear why operator algebras would form a good description of nature. In this paper, we find a set of…
A finite-dimensional unital and associative algebra over $\mathbb{R}$, or what we shall call simply "an algebra" in this paper for short, generalities the construction by which we derive the complex numbers by "adjoining an element $i$" to…
Effect algebras were introduced as an abstract algebraic model for Hilbert space effects representing quantum mechanical measurements. We study additional structures on an effect algebra $E$ that enable us to define spectrality and spectral…
The aim of this paper is to show that there can be either only one or uncountably many contexts in any spectral effect algebra, answering a question posed in [S. Gudder, Convex and Sequential Effect Algebras, (2018), arXiv:1802.01265]. We…
