Modular almost orthogonal quantum logics (Q1200434)

An orthomodular lattice (OML) is said to be almost orthogonal if it is atomic and if for every atom \(a\) in \(L\) the set \(B_ a=\{b\in L\mid b\) is an atom in \(L\) and \(b\not\leq a'\}\) is finite. Relations between almost orthogonality and modularity are studied. An almost orthogonal OML is modular if and only if it can be embedded into a direct product of finite modular quantum logics. The class of almost orthogonal modular OMLs is the largest subclass of the class of atomic modular OMLs in which the conditions commutator-finite and block-finite are equivalent.
