Symmetries in synaptic algebras

A synaptic algebra is a generalization of the Jordan algebra of self-adjoint elements of a von Neumann algebra. We study symmetries in synaptic algebras, i.e., elements whose square is the unit element, and we investigate the equivalence relation on the projection lattice of the algebra induced by finite sequences of symmetries. In case the projection lattice is complete, or even centrally orthocomplete, this equivalence relation is shown to possess many of the properties of a dimension equivalence relation on an orthomodular lattice.     

Projections in a Synaptic Algebra

A synaptic algebra is an abstract version of the partially ordered Jordan algebra of all bounded Hermitian operators on a Hilbert space. We review the basic features of a synaptic algebra and then focus on the interaction between a synaptic algebra and its orthomodular lattice of projections. Each element in a synaptic algebra determines and is determined by a one-parameter family of projections—its spectral resolution. We observe that a synaptic algebra is commutative if and only if its projection lattice is boolean, and we prove that any commutative synaptic algebra is isomorphic to a subalgebra of the Banach algebra of all continuous functions on the Stone space of its boolean algebra of projections. We study the so-called range-closed elements of a synaptic algebra, prove that (von Neumann) regular elements are range-closed, relate certain range-closed elements to modular pairs of projections, show that the projections in a synaptic algebra form an M-symmetric orthomodular lattice, and give several sufficient conditions for modularity of the projection lattice.     

The center of an effect algebra

An effect algebra is a partial algebra modeled on the standard effect algebra of positive self-adjoint operators dominated by the identity on a Hilbert space. Every effect algebra is partially ordered in a natural way, as suggested by the partial order on the standard effect algebra. An effect algebra is said to be distributive if, as a poset, it forms a distributive lattice. We define and study the center of an effect algebra, relate it to cartesian-product factorizations, determine the center of the standard effect algebra, and characterize all finite distributive effect algebras as products of chains and diamonds.     

Lie isomorphisms of reflexive algebras

A Lie isomorphism ? between algebras is called trivial if ?=ψ+τ, where ψ is an (algebraic) isomorphism or a negative of an (algebraic) anti-isomorphism, and τ is a linear map with image in the center vanishing on each commutator. In this paper, we investigate the conditions for the triviality of Lie isomorphisms from reflexive algebras with completely distributive and commutative lattices (CDCSL). In particular, we prove that a Lie isomorphism between irreducible CDCSL algebras is trivial if and only if it preserves I-idempotent operators (the sum of an idempotent and a scalar multiple of the identity) in both directions. We also prove the triviality of each Lie isomorphism from a CDCSL algebra onto a CSL algebra which has a comparable invariant projection with rank and corank not one. Some examples of Lie isomorphisms are presented to show the sharpness of the conditions.

This paper introduced the concept of L-fuzzy sub lattice implication algebra and discussed its properties. Proved that the intersection set of a family of L-fuzzy sub lattice implication algebras is a L-fuzzy sub lattice implication algebra, that a L-fuzzy sub set of a lattice implication algebra is a L-fuzzy sub lattice implication algebra if and only if its every cut set is a sub lattice implication algebra, and that the image and original image of a L-fuzzy sub lattice implication algebra under a lattice implication homomorphism are both L-fuzzy sub lattice implication algebras.     

Linear Maps Preserving the Closure of Numerical Range on Nest Algebras with Maximal Atomic Nest

Let be a maximal atomic nest on Hilbert space H and denote the associated nest algebra. We prove that a weakly continuous and surjective linear map preserves the closure of numerical range if and only if there exists a unitary operator such that for every or for every , where denotes the transpose of T relative to an arbitrary but fixed base of H. As applications, we get the characterizations of the numerical range or numerical radius preservers on . The surjective linear maps on the diagonal algebras of atomic nest algebras preserving the closure of numerical range or preserving the numerical range (radius) are also characterized.

Monotone clones and the varieties they determine

A finite, nontrivial algebra is order-primal if its term functions are precisely the monotone functions for some order on the underlying set. We show that the prevariety generated by an order-primal algebra P is relatively congruence-distributive and that the variety generated by P is congruence-distributive if and only if it contains at most two non-ismorphic subdirectly irreducible algebras. We also prove that if the prevarieties generated by order-primal algebras P and Q are equivalent as categories, then the corresponding orders or their duals generate the same order variety. A large class of order-primal algebras is described each member of which generates a variety equivalent as a category to the variety determined by the six-element, bounded ordered set which is not a lattice. These results are proved by considering topological dualities with particular emphasis on the case where there is a monotone near-unanimity function.This research was carried out while the third author held a research fellowship at La Trobe University supported by ARGS grant B85154851.

Universal state space embeddability of Jordan-Banach algebras

We study extensions of states between projection structures of JB algebras and generalized orthomodular posets. It is shown that projection orthoposet of a JB algebra admits the universal extension property if and only if the Gleason theorem is valid for . As a consequence we get that any positive Stone algebra-valued measure on projection lattice of a quotient of a JBW algebra without type direct summand extends to a positive measure on an arbitrary larger generalized orthomodular lattice.
