Orthogeometries and AW*-algebras
From MaRDI portal
Publication:6324397
Abstract: Based on results of Harding, Heunen, Lindenhovius and Navara, (2019), we give a connection between the category of AW*-algebras and their normal Jordan homomorphisms and a category COG of orthogemetries, which are structures that are somewhat similar to projective geometries, consisting of a set of points and a set of lines, where each line contains exactly 3 points. They are constructed from the commutative AW*-subalgebras of an AW*-algebra that have at most an 8-element Boolean algebra of projections. Morphisms between orthogemetries are partial functions between their sets of points as in projective geometry. The functor from the category of AW*-algebras with normal Jordan homomorphism to COG we create is injective on non-trivial objects, and full and faithful with respect to morphisms that do not involve type factors.
