Weakly orthomodular and dually weakly orthomodular posets
Ivan Chajda, Helmut Länger · Asian-European Journal of Mathematics · 2018
Orthomodular posets form an algebraic semantic for the logic of quantum mechanics. We show several methods how to construct orthomodular posets via a representation within the powerset of a given set. Further, we generalize this concept to the concept of weakly orthomodular and dually weakly orthomodular posets where the complementation need not be antitone or an involution. We show several interesting examples of such posets and prove which intervals of these posets are weakly orthomodular or dually weakly orthomodular again. To every (dually) weakly orthomodular poset can be assigned an algebra with total operations, a so-called (dually) weakly orthomodular [Formula: see text]-lattice. We study properties of these [Formula: see text]-lattices and show that the variety of these [Formula: see text]-lattices has nice congruence properties.
