    States on pseudo effect algebras and integrals

    Full text link
    We show that every state on an interval pseudo effect algebra EE satisfying some kind of the Riesz Decomposition Properties (RDP) is an integral through a regular Borel probability measure defined on the Borel Ļƒ\sigma-algebra of a Choquet simplex KK. In particular, if EE satisfies the strongest type of (RDP), the representing Borel probability measure can be uniquely chosen to have its support in the set of the extreme points of $K.

    On a New Construction of Pseudo Effect Algebras

    Full text link
    We define a new class of pseudo effect algebras, called kite pseudo effect algebras, which is connected not necessarily with partially ordered groups, but rather with generalized pseudo effect algebras where the greatest element is not guaranteed. Starting even with a commutative generalized pseudo effect algebra, we can obtain a non-commutative pseudo effect algebra. We show how such kite pseudo effect algebras are tied with different types of the Riesz Decomposition Properties. We find conditions when kite pseudo effect algebras have the least non-trivial normal ideal.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1306.030

    Kite Pseudo Effect Algebras

    Full text link
    We define a new class of pseudo effect algebras, called kite pseudo effect algebras, which is connected with partially ordered groups not necessarily with strong unit. In such a case, starting even with an Abelian po-group, we can obtain a noncommutative pseudo effect algebra. We show how such kite pseudo effect algebras are tied with different types of the Riesz Decomposition Properties. Kites are so-called perfect pseudo effect algebras, and we define conditions when kite pseudo effect algebras have the least non-trivial normal ideal

    The Lattice and Simplex Structure of States on Pseudo Effect Algebras

    Full text link
    We study states, measures, and signed measures on pseudo effect algebras with some kind of the Riesz Decomposition Property, (RDP). We show that the set of all Jordan signed measures is always an Abelian Dedekind complete ā„“\ell-group. Therefore, the state space of the pseudo effect algebra with (RDP) is either empty or a nonempty Choquet simplex or even a Bauer simplex. This will allow represent states on pseudo effect algebras by standard integrals

    Representation of States on Effect-Tribes and Effect Algebras by Integrals

    Full text link
    We describe Ļƒ\sigma-additive states on effect-tribes by integrals. Effect-tribes are monotone Ļƒ\sigma-complete effect algebras of functions where operations are defined by points. Then we show that every state on an effect algebra is an integral through a Borel regular probability measure. Finally, we show that every Ļƒ\sigma-convex combination of extremal states on a monotone Ļƒ\sigma-complete effect algebra is a Jauch-Piron state.Comment: 20 page

    Decompositions of Measures on Pseudo Effect Algebras

    Full text link
    Recently in \cite{Dvu3} it was shown that if a pseudo effect algebra satisfies a kind of the Riesz Decomposition Property ((RDP) for short), then its state space is either empty or a nonempty simplex. This will allow us to prove a Yosida-Hewitt type and a Lebesgue type decomposition for measures on pseudo effect algebra with (RDP). The simplex structure of the state space will entail not only the existence of such a decomposition but also its uniqueness
