Orthomodularity of Decompositions in a Categorical Setting
نویسنده
چکیده
We provide a method to construct a type of orthomodular structure known as an orthoalgebra from the direct product decompositions of an object in a category that has finite products and whose ternary product diagrams give rise to certain pushouts. This generalizes a method to construct an orthomodular poset from the direct product decompositions of familiar mathematical structures such as non-empty sets, groups, and topological spaces, as well as a method to construct an orthomodular poset from the complementary pairs of elements of a bounded modular lattice.

Quantum Logic in Dagger Categories with Kernels
This paper investigates quantum logic from the perspective of categorical logic, and starts from minimal assumptions, namely the existence of involutions/daggers and kernels. The resulting structures turn out to (1) encompass many examples of interest, such as categories of relations, partial injections, Hilbert spaces (also modulo phase), and Boolean algebras, and (2) have interesting categori...

متن کاملTreewidth, pathwidth and cospan decompositions with applications to graph-accepting tree automata
We will revisit the categorical notion of cospan decompositions of graphs and compare it to the well-known notions of path decomposition and tree decomposition from graph theory. More specifically, we will define several types of cospan decompositions with appropriate width measures and show that these width measures coincide with pathwidth and treewidth. Such graph decompositions of small widt...
متن کاملL-CONVEX SYSTEMS AND THE CATEGORICAL ISOMORPHISM TO SCOTT-HULL OPERATORS
The concepts of $L$-convex systems and Scott-hull spaces are proposed on frame-valued setting. Also, we establish the categorical isomorphism between $L$-convex systems and Scott-hull spaces. Moreover, it is proved that the category of $L$-convex structures is bireflective in the category of $L$-convex systems. Furthermore, the quotient systems of $L$-convex systems are studied.
متن کاملThe Logic of Bundles
Since the work of Crown [5] in the 1970’s, it has been known that the projections of a finite-dimensional vector bundle E form an orthomodular poset (omp) P(E). This result lies in the intersection of a number of current topics, including the categorical quantum mechanics of Abramsky and Coecke [1], and the approach via decompositions of Harding [6]. Moreover, it provides a source of omps for t...
