    A note on unitizations of generalized effect algebras

    Full text link
    There is a forgetful functor from the category of generalized effect algebras to the category of effect algebras. We prove that this functor is a right adjoint and that the corresponding left adjoint is the well-known unitization construction by Hedl\'ikov\'a and Pulmannov\'a. Moreover, this adjunction is monadic

    Unitizations of generalized pseudo effect algebras and their ideals

    Full text link
    A generalized pseudo effect algebra (GPEA) is a partially ordered partial algebraic structure with a smallest element 0, but not necessarily with a unit (i.e, a largest element). If a GPEA admits a so-called unitizing automorphism, then it can be embedded as an order ideal in its so-called unitization, which does have a unit. We study unitizations of GPEAs with respect to a unitizing automorphism, paying special attention to the behavior of congruences and ideals in this setting.Comment: 30 page

    Discrete (n+1)(n+1)-valued states and nn-perfect pseudo-effect algebras

    Full text link
    We give sufficient and necessary conditions to guarantee that a pseudo-effect algebra admits an (n+1)(n+1)-valued discrete state. We introduce nn-perfect pseudo-effect algebras as algebras which can be split into n+1n+1 comparable slices. We prove that the category of strong nn-perfect pseudo-effect algebras is categorically equivalent to the category of torsion-free directed partially ordered groups of a special type
