Observables IV : The Presheaf Perspective

نویسنده

  • Hans F. de Groote
چکیده

In this fourth of our series of papers on observables we show that one can associate to each von Neumann algebra R a pair of isomorphic presheaves, the upper presheaf O Rand the lower presheaf O − R , on the category of abelian von Neumann subalgebras of R. Each A ∈ Rsa induces a global section of O R and of O − R respectively. We call them contextual observables. But we show that, in general, not every global section of these presheaves arises in this way. Moreover, we discuss states of a von Neumann algebra in the presheaf context. ∗[email protected]; FB Mathematik, J.W.Goethe-Universität Frankfurt a.

Individual ergodic theorem for intuitionistic fuzzy observables using intuitionistic fuzzy state

The classical ergodic theory hasbeen built on σ-algebras. Later the Individual ergodictheorem was studied on more general structures like MV-algebrasand quantum structures. The aim of this paper is to formulate theIndividual ergodic theorem for intuitionistic fuzzy observablesusing  m-almost everywhere convergence, where  m...

Kochen-Specker theorem for von Neumann algebras

The Kochen-Specker theorem has been discussed intensely ever since its original proof in 1967. It is one of the central no-go theorems of quantum theory, showing the non-existence of a certain kind of hidden states models. In this paper, we first offer a new, non-combinatorial proof for quantum systems with a type In factor as algebra of observables, including I∞. Afterwards, we give a proof of...

Forcing for IZF in Sheaf Toposes

In [Sco] D. Scott has shown how the interpretation of intuitionistic set theory IZF in presheaf toposes can be reformulated in a more concrete fashion à la forcing as known to set theorists. In this note we show how this can be adapted to the more general case of Grothendieck toposes dealt with abstractly in [Fou, Hay].

The topological realization of a simplicial presheaf

While preparing for EUROPROJ’s Trento school on stacks (September 1996) it became apparent that an obvious thing that one would like to say about a stack—to take its topological realization—was not altogether obvious to define or to handle. The same question can be posed more generally for a presheaf of spaces or (as it is common to say) a simplicial presheaf. We give a definition of the topolo...

The Spectral Presheaf of an Orthomodular Lattice Some steps towards generalized Stone duality

In the topos approach to quantum physics, a functor known as the spectral presheaf of a von Neumann algebra plays the role of a generalized state space. Mathematically, the spectral presheaf also provides an interesting generalization of the Gelfand spectrum, which is only defined for abelian von Neumann algebras, to the nonabelian case. A partial duality result, analogous to Gelfand duality, e...
