| Title: Introduction to and Historical Overview of Quantum Logics ( Windows Media , Macromedia Flash , MP3 Audio , PDF) |
| Speaker(s): Alex Wilce |
| Abstract: Introductory lecture summary:
1. Finite dimensional hilbert spaces and (complemented) modular lattices; infinite-dimensional hilbert spaces and orthomodularity.
2. von Neumann's QL; von Neumann-Birkhoff (briefly!); reconstruction of QM from P(H)
3. Mackey's programme; some early axiomatics (e.g., Zierler); QLs as OMPs + order-determining sets of states
4. Piron's Theorem; some discussion of Piron's axioms
5. Keller's examples (maybe just a mention, though I'd like to indicate how they come up); Soler's theorem (just the statement)
6. Abstract OMLs; Greechie Diagrams and the Loop Lemma; brief mention of Harding's results on decompositions
7. Tensor products (the F-R example, showing OMLs not stable under tensor products); orthoalgebras.
8. Orthoalgebras from test spaces

Operational derivation of effect algberas, summarized.
"Theories"--- Effect-state systems.
Tensor product (defined, existence result stated).
Some notions of sharpness in EA's, examples that separate them, conditional equivalences that are interesting.
Convex cones/sets, ordered linear space basics. Partially ordered abelian groups.
Operational Quantum Logic II: Convexity, Representations, and Operations
Convex cones and convex sets. Extremality. Krein-Milman. Caratheodory. Affine maps.
