چکیده

Orthomodular posets are usually used as event structures of quantum mechanical systems. The states of the systems are described by probability measures (also called states) on it. It is well known that the family of all states on an orthomodular poset is a convex set, compact with respect to the product topology. This suggests to use geometrical results to study its structure. In this line, we deal with the problem of the decomposition of states on orthomodular posets with respect to a given face of the state space. For particular choices of this face, we obtain e.g. Lebesgue-type and Yosida-Hewitt decompositions as special cases. Considering, in particular, the problem of existence and uniqueness of such decompositions, we generalize to this setting numerous results obtained earlier only for orthomodular lattices and orthocomplete orthomodular posets.

Effect algebras with the maximality property

The maximality property was introduced in [9] in orthomodular posets as a common generalization of orthomodular lattices and orthocomplete orthomodular posets. We show that various conditions used in the theory of effect algebras are stronger than the maximality property, clear up the connections between them and show some consequences of these conditions. In particular, we prove that a Jauch–P...

States on Orthomodular Posets of Decompositions

In Harding (1996; see also Harding, 1998, 1999), a method was given to construct an orthomodular poset Fact X from the direct product decompositions of a set. As this forms the basis of our study we briefly review the pertinent facts. For a set X let Eq X denote the set of equivalence relations on X, use ◦ for relational product, 1 for the least equivalence relation on X, and ∇ for the largest....

State spaces of orthomodular structures

We present several known and one new description of orthomodular structures (orthomodular lattices, orthomodular posets and orthoalgebras). Originally, orthomodular structures were viewed as pasted families of Boolean algebras. Here we introduce semipasted families of Boolean algebras as an alternative description which is not as detailed, but substantially simpler. Semipasted families of Boole...

Characterizations of Posets via Weak States

Weak states on posets are defined which are in some analogy to states on orthomodular posets used in axiomatic quantum mechanics. It is shown how certain properties of the set of weak states characterize certain properties of the underlying poset. Orthomodular posets serve as algebraic models for logics in axiomatic quantum mechanics. States on them are considered which reflect the properties o...
