It is known that every relatively pseudocomplemented lattice is residuated and, moreover, it is distributive. Unfortunately, non-distributive lattices with a unary operation satisfying properties similar to relative pseudocomplementation…
We study improper mixtures from a quantum logical and geometrical point of view. Taking into account the fact that improper mixtures do not admit an ignorance interpretation and must be considered as states in their own right, we do not…
In this work we study the convex set of quantum states from a quantum logical point of view. We consider an algebraic structure based on the convex subsets of this set. The relationship of this algebraic structure with the lattice of…
A representation theorem for non-semibounded Hermitian quadratic forms in terms of a (non-semibounded) self-adjoint operator is proven. The main assumptions are closability of the Hermitian quadratic form, the direct integral structure of…
We investigate different set-theoretic constructions in Residuated Logic based on Fitting's work on Intuitionistic Set Theory. We start by stating some results concerning constructible sets within valued models of Set Theory. We present two…
In their 1936 founding paper on quantum logic, Birkhoff and von Neumann postulated that the lattice describing the experimental propositions concerning a quantum system is orthocomplemented. We prove that this postulate fails for the…
We involve a certain propositional logic based on ortholattices. We characterize the implicational reduct of such a logic and we show that its algebraic counterpart is the so-called orthosemilattice. Properties of congruences and congruence…
It is widely accepted that the logic of quantum mechanics is based on orthomodular posets. However, such a logic is not dynamic in the sense that it does not incorporate time dimension. To fill this gap, we introduce certain tense operators…
After some background on lattices, the locality framework introduced in earlier work by the authors is extended to cover posets and lattices. We then extend the correspondence between Euclidean structures on vector spaces and orthogonal…
The aim of this work is to firstly demonstrate the efficacy of the recently proposed Orlicz space formalism for Quantum theory \cite{ML}, and secondly to show how noncommutative differential structures may naturally be incorporated into…
Since orthomodular posets serve as an algebraic axiomatization of the logic of quantum mechanics, it is a natural question how the connective of implication can be defined in this logic. It should be introduced in such a way that it is…
In their seminal paper Birkhoff and von Neumann revealed the following dilemma: "... whereas for logicians the orthocomplementation properties of negation were the ones least able to withstand a critical analysis, the study of mechanics…
The fundamental axioms of the quantum theory do not explicitly identify the algebraic structure of the linear space for which orthogonal subspaces correspond to the propositions (equivalence classes of physical questions). The projective…
In the present article, we explore a new approach for the study of orthomodular lattices, where we replace the problematic conjunction by a binary operator, called the Sasaki projection. We present a characterization of orthomodular…
In this paper we study structural properties of residuated lattices that are idempotent as monoids. We provide descriptions of the totally ordered members of this class and obtain counting theorems for the number of finite algebras in…
Orthogonal spaces are vector spaces together with a quadratic form whose associated bilinear form is non-degenerate. Over fields of characteristic two, there are many quadratic forms associated to a given bilinear form and quadratic…
We introduce the notion of an orthocomplemented subspace of a Hilbert space H, that is, a pair of orthogonal closed subspaces of H, as a two-dimensional counterpart to the one-dimensional notion of a closed subspace of H. Orthocomplemented…
A residuated lattice is defined to be integrally closed if it satisfies the equations x\x = e and x/x = e. Every integral, cancellative, or divisible residuated lattice is integrally closed, and, conversely, every bounded integrally closed…
The concept of operator residuation for bounded posets with unary operation was introduced by the first two authors. It turns out that in some cases when these operators are transformed into lattice terms and the poset ${\mathbf P}$ is…
We show that the propositional system of a many-box model is always a set-representable effect algebra. In particular cases of 2-box and 1-box models it is an orthomodular poset and an orthomodular lattice respectively. We discuss the…
