MV-algebras, multiple bets and subjective states

AbstractIn this paper MV-algebras, the algebras of L̵ukasiewicz infinite-valued logics, are interpreted in a structure of bets, and a subjective interpretation of finitely additive measures on MV-algebras is given

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

We describe $\sigma$-additive states on effect-tribes by integrals. Effect-tribes are monotone $\sigma$-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 $\sigma$-convex combination of extremal states on a monotone $\sigma$-complete effect algebra is a Jauch-Piron state.Comment: 20 page

Smearing of Observables and Spectral Measures on Quantum Structures

An observable on a quantum structure is any $\sigma$-homomorphism of quantum structures from the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of the real line into the quantum structure which is in our case a monotone $\sigma$-complete effect algebras with the Riesz Decomposition Property. We show that every observable is a smearing of a sharp observable which takes values from a Boolean $\sigma$-subalgebra of the effect algebra, and we prove that for every element of the effect algebra there is its spectral measure

States on pseudo effect algebras and integrals

We show that every state on an interval pseudo effect algebra $E$ satisfying some kind of the Riesz Decomposition Properties (RDP) is an integral through a regular Borel probability measure defined on the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of a Choquet simplex $K$. In particular, if $E$ 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.

Loomis--Sikorski Theorem and Stone Duality for Effect Algebras with Internal State

Recently Flaminio and Montagna, \cite{FlMo}, extended the language of MV-algebras by adding a unary operation, called a state-operator. This notion is introduced here also for effect algebras. Having it, we generalize the Loomis--Sikorski Theorem for monotone $\sigma$-complete effect algebras with internal state. In addition, we show that the category of divisible state-morphism effect algebras satisfying (RDP) and countable interpolation with an order determining system of states is dual to the category of Bauer simplices $\Omega$ such that $\partial_e \Omega$ is an F-space
