The lattice of subspaces of a vector space over a finite field (Q2317632)

The lattice of subspaces of a finite dimensional Hilbert space over a finite field is orthocomplemented if and only if the finite field has characteristic \(2\) and the vector space dimension \(2\) [\textit{J. P. Eckman} and \textit{P. C. Zabey}, Helv. Phys. Acta 42, 420--424 (1969; Zbl 0181.56601)]. The purpose of this paper is to show: with respect to a suitable choice of complementation on the lattice of subspaces of a finite dimensional vector space over a finite field, the lattice is weakly orthomodular and dually weakly orthomododular in the sense of the authors [Order 35, No. 3, 541--555 (2018; Zbl 1441.06005)] (Corollary 12). Furthermore lattices of subspaces of finite dimensional vector spaces over finite fields are shown to be paraorthomodular (in the sense of \textit{R. Giuntini} et al. [Stud. Log. 104, No. 6, 1145--1177 (2016; Zbl 1417.06008)], or Definition 19 of the paper) with respect to orthogonality (Proposition 20 and Corollary 21).
