Let X be an arbitrary nonempty set and L a lattice of subsets of X such that ∅, X ∈ L. A L denotes the algebra generated by L, andM L denotes those nonnegative, finite, finitely additive measures on A L . In addition, I L denotes the subset of M L which consists of the nontrivial zeroone valued measures. The paper gives detailed analysis of products of lattices, their associated Wallman spaces,...

We prove that every closed exhaustive vector-valued modular measure on a lattice ordered effect algebra L can be decomposed into the sum of a Lyapunov exhaustive modular measure (i.e. its restriction to every interval of L has convex range) and an ”antiLyapunov” exhaustive modular measure. This result extends a Kluvanek-Knowles decomposition theorem for measures on Boolean algebras.

While formal semantics of theoretical languages underlying SQL have been provided in the past, they all made simplifying assumptions ranging from changes in the syntax to omitting bag semantics and nulls. This situation is reminiscent of what happens in the field of programming languages, where semantics of formal calculi underlying the main features of languages are abundant, but formal semant...

Frames on Hilbert C*-modules have been defined for unital C*algebras by Frank and Larson [5] and operator-valued frames on a Hilbert space have been studied in [8]. The goal of this paper is to introduce operatorvalued frames on a Hilbert C*-module for a σ-unital C*-algebra. Theorem 1.4 reformulates the definition given in [5] in terms of a series of rank-one operators converging in the strict ...

‎Given a compact space $X$ and a commutative Banach algebra‎ ‎$A$‎, ‎the character spaces of $A$-valued function algebras on $X$ are‎ ‎investigated‎. ‎The class of natural $A$-valued function algebras‎, ‎those whose characters can be described by means of characters of $A$ and‎ ‎point evaluation homomorphisms‎, ‎is introduced and studied‎. ‎For an‎ ‎admissible Banach $A$-valued function algebra...

Different versions of Wiener’s Tauberian theorem are discussed for the generalized group algebra LI(G,A) (of integrable functions on a locally compact abelian group G taking values in a commutative semisimple regular Banach algebra A) using A-valued Fourier transforms. A weak form of Wiener’s Tauberian property is introduced and it is proved that LI(G,A) is weakly Tauberian if and only if A is....

A framework for boolean-valued judgment aggregation is described. The simple (im)possibility results in this paper highlight the role of the set of truth values and its algebraic structure. In particular, it is shown that central properties of aggregation rules can be formulated as homomorphy or order-preservation conditions on the mapping between the power-set algebra over the set of individua...

We show how to compute a certain group H l (G) of equivalence classes of invariant Drinfeld twists on the algebra of a finite group G over a field k of characteristic zero. This group is naturally isomorphic to the second lazy cohomology group H l (Ok(G)) of the Hopf algebra Ok(G) of k-valued functions on G. When k is algebraically closed, the answer involves the group of outer automorphisms of...

We represent every normal-valued GMV-algebra as a GMV-algebra of real-valued functions; we also describe the universal MV-algebras and universal normal-valued GMV-algebras with a prescribed set of components.
