Central elements of effect algebras

From MaRDI portal





An element \(a\) of an effect algebra \((E,0,1,\oplus)\) is called principal, if \(b\leq a, c\leq a\) implies \(b\oplus c\leq a\). An element \(a\) of \(E\) is called central, if (1) \(a\) and its orthosupplement \(a'\) are principal, and (2) \(b=(b\wedge a)\oplus(b\wedge a')\) for any \(b\in L\). The author shows that condition (2) on \(a\) may be weakened to (2'): \(b\wedge a = b\wedge a'=0\) implies \(b=0\), and the sets \([0,a]\cap[0,b], [0,a']\cap[0,b]\) have maximal elements for any \(b\in E\). This generalizes the authors result from [Tatra Mt. Math. Publ. 10, 55--62 (1997; Zbl 0915.06003)].
