Abstract: We present a general way to define a topology on orthomodular lattices. We show that in the case of a Hilbert lattice, this topology is equivalent to that induced by the metrics of the corresponding Hilbert space. Moreover, we show that in the case of a boolean algebra, the obtained topology is the discrete one. Thus, our construction provides a general tool for studying orthomodular lattices but also a way to distinguish classical and quantum logics.

Review text

On an atomic orthomodular lattice with the covering property, an intrinsic topology is introduced. In case of the orthomodular lattice of closed subspaces of Hilbert space of dimension at least \(3\), this topology is shown to coincide with the topology induced by the inner product of the Hilbert space. In case of a Boolean algebra, by contrast, the topology is the discrete one.
