WC introduce a state tensor product of difference poscts and a weight tensor product of D-test spaces which are more transuarcnt and easier to obtain than an algebraic tensor obtained in any separate product studied in [6],and. in addition, the statistical information entity remains the same in both coupled systems.

Introduction

In the axiomatic approach to quantum mechanics, the event structure of a physical system is identified with a quantum logic [23] or an orthoalgebra [ll], while in the case of classical mechanics with a Boolean algebra. Recently, there appeared a new axiomatic algebraic model, difference posets (D-posets, for short), introduced by Kbpka and Chovanec [16], which generalizes all the above mentioned models as well as the set of all effects (i.e. the system of all Hermitian operators A on a Hilbert space H with 0 5 A < I, which are important for modelling unsharp measurement in Hilbert space quantum mechanics [ 11). In [6], we presented operational statistics corresponding to difference posets. This approach is analogous to the operational statistics of Foulis and Randall [12, 211, however, it is more complicated than that because it allows one to describe the situation corresponding to fuzzy approach which is possible, for example, in Hilbert space quantum mechanics using effects. In addition, it unifies both the approach of Kolmogorov [15] to the foundations of probability theory and statistics and that of Dirac [2] and von Neumann [19] for orthodox quantum mechanics. Moreover, in [4, 61, we have introduced and studied tensor product of difference posets as well as of D-test spaces using purely algebraic notions. We have shown [4] that, for example, the tensor product of the orthoalgebra with itself, called the Phano plane, exists in the class of D-posets, while in the class of orthoalgebras it does not [9]. lY8O Mafhemath Subject Classijication (I985 Revision). 03G12, 81PlO.

On the other hand, if the exact form of tensor products is not known, as e.g. for the Phano plane, we can formulate and prove the existence of a tensor product of D-test spaces or D-posets in the category of D-test spaces or D-posets having for difference posets. These forms of a full family of weights or states, similarly tensor products, the weight tensor product and the state tensor product, are in many important cases more elementary than the algebraic one and can be obtained directly. They are very useful since they save the whole statistical information involved in both separated entities and which is also the same as that in the algebraic tensor product.

posets

A D-poset, or a d@erence poser, is a partially ordered set L’ with partial ordering 5, the greatest element I, and with a partial binary operation k3: I, x L ----tL, called difference, such that, for n, b E I;, b t_, CLis defined if and only if a 5 b. and the following axioms hold for CL,b. c E L: (DPi) b 13 n < b; (DPii) b w (b G u) = a; (DPiii) a 5 h 5 c =+ c r b 5 C’6-4a and (c * u) :_I (c + b) = b ky a.

Now we present the situation when L is not a priori endowed with partial ordering, however, the following system, defined only as a partial algebra, will be a D-poset, too. PROPOSITION 2.3. Let L be a set which is endowed with two special elements 0 and 1 and equipped with a partial binary operation 0 satisfying the following conditions for all a, b, c E L: (01) (02)

a80 is defined, and a 8 0 = a. a 0 a is dejined.

(03)

Zf b0 a and c@ b are defined, then c0 (c 0 a) 0 (c 0 b) = b 0 a. (04) Zf 0 0 a is defined, then a = 0. (05)

0 (c0

b) are defined, and

18 a is defined.

Then (Oi) Zf b 0 a is dejined, then b 0 (b 0 a) is dejined and b 0 (b 0 a) = a. (Oii) Zf a 8 b = a 8 c, then b = c. (Oiii) a 8 a = 0 for any a E L. Zf we define an ordering 5 on L via a 5 b iff b 0 a is defined, then 5 is a partial ordering with the smallest and greatest elements 0 and 1, and L with respect to 5, 1, and 0 is a D-poset. Conversely, any D-poset satisjies all conditions of the proposition. Proof (Oi) From (01) and (03) we conclude that if b0a a, which proves (Oi). (b0a)=a00= (Oii) By (Oi), we have b = a0 (a0 b) = a0 (a0c) = c.

then

(b00)

(Oiii) Since a00 and sea exist in L, from (03) we obtain (~~O)O(U@U) = ~~00, so that a@ (a@ a) = a80 which, by (Oii), means that u8u = 0. of 5. The From (02) we have a 5 a, and from (03) we have the transitivity antisymmetry follows from the following: Let a I b and b < a. Then b 0 a and a 0 b exist in L, and, by (03), we conclude (a 0 u) B (u 0 b) = b 0 a, so that 0 0 (a 0 b) is defined, and (04) entails that a 0 b = 0, and by symmetry, b 8 a = 0. Hence, by (Oi), a = b0(b0u) = be0 = b. that

The conditions (01) and (05) imply that 0 I a _< 1 for any a E L. This L with respect to 1, 5, and 8 is a D-poset. It is clear

If we omit in Proposition 2.3 the greatest element 1 and the condition (05), then 2 from Proposition 2.3 is also a partial ordering on L with 0 as the smallest element in L, and the conditions (DPi)-(DPiii) are satisfied as well as the properties (ii)-(viii) of Proposition 2.1 remain valid. We call this structure a D-poset without 1 (these structures in other setups have been studied in [13, 141). In any D-poset we have also the following left cancelation law: If a0b=c@b,

then

u=c.

In D-pose& without 1, this left cancelation law holds iff any two elements a and c in the left-hand side of (2.1) have a majorant in L.

The partial operation q: is defined correctly because if there exists cl E L with b < cl and a = c-18 b, then, by (viii) of Proposition 2.1 and (DPii), we have (1 cr-/(c I-; b)) ‘_; b = I ‘7 c = (1 c?

We note that if L is an orthomodular poset and a 63 b := u V b whenever a 1 b in L, then L with 0, I, @ is an orthoalgebra. The converse statement does not hold, in general. We recall that an orthoalgebra L is an OMP iff u I b implies a V b E L. By [18], we conclude that a D-poset L with 0,l and @. defined by (2.2) is an orthoalgebra if and only if a 2 1 8 a implies a = 0. Therefore, it is not hard to give many examples of D-posets which are not orthoalgebras; such ones are the sets of effects and the interval [O. I]: EXAMPLE 2.6. The set I(H) of all Hermitian operators A on H such that 0 < A 5 I, where I is the identity operator on H, is a difference poset which is not an orthoalgebra; a partial ordering 5 is defined via A 5 B iff (Ax, x) 5 (Bx, ST). 2 E H, and C=BeA iff (Bz,x)-(Ax,JJ)=(C’~~~),~EH.

EXAMPLE 2.7. Let the closed interval [O, I] be ordered by the natural ordering. Let g be any continuous, increasing mapping from [0, I] onto [0, l] such that g(0) = 0 and g(1) = 1 (called a generator). Define a partial binary operation 8, via b 8,9 a := g&(g(b)

- g(u)).

(2.4)

Then L with 5, I, and ey is a D-poset [lb]. In particular, if g = id,,,, 11%then b@id a =b-a. Conversely, by [17], any difference 8 on the D-poset [0, 11 is equal to some 8, defined by (2.4). We can define also a D-poset introducing another partial binary operation, @ which will imply 8 via (2.3). Such attempts are made in [lo, 201. PROPOSITION 2.8.

The following important notions and relationships between them have been motivated and introduced in the paper [6]. Here we present only basic notions and properties. Let X be a nonempty set, the elements of which are called outcomes. A function F: I -+ X is said to be of finite multiplicity if, for any x E X, F-‘(x) is of finite cardinal@. In what follows, we shall consider only functions of finite multiplicity. For arbitrary sets I and J and functions F E X’ and G E XJ define F =$G iff there is an injection a: I + J such that F = Go(T, i.e. F(i) = G(u(i)) for all i E 1. If F =$G and 0: I + J is a bijection, we say that F and G are equivalent, in symbols F N G, and in what follows, we shall identify functions which are equivalent.2 Therefore, we can define unambiguously a function FOG as follows: Let K = I’ U J’, where 1’ n J’ = 0 and 4: 1 + I’, 11: J + J’ are bijections. Then FOG is an element of XK such that F’G(k)

=

F(i) G(j)

if i E I, k = 4(i), if j E J, k = $(j).

We recall that the associativity (FljG)OH = FO(GOH) holds, and therefore for both sides we write FOGWI. It can be easily checked that + is a preorder which becomes a partial order on equivalence classes with respect to N . Let R(F) := {F(i): i E I} denote the range of F E X’. It is worth noting that two functions F and G are equivalent iff card F-l(x) = card G-‘(x) for any x E X. DEFINITION 4.1. Let ‘T C {F E X I: I E Z} be nonempty, where X # 0, and Z is a nonvoid family of index sets. We say that the pair (X, 7) is a D-test space iff the following three conditions are satisfied: (i) Any T E 7 is of finite multiplicity. (ii) For every x E X there is a T E 7 such that x E R(T). (iii) If S, T E 7 and S =$T, then 5’ N T. Any element of 7 is said to be a D-test. DEFINITION 4.2. Let (X, 7) be a D-test space. Let J be arbitrary and let G E XJ. We say that G is an event iff there is a D-test T E 7 such that G Z$T. Let us denote the set of all events in 7 by & = &(X,7). Clearly, 0 E 1. DEFINITION 4.3. Let (X,7) be a D-test space. We say that two events F and G are (i) orthogonal to each other, in symbols F I G, iff there is a D-test T E 7 such that FOG d T; (ii) local compZements of each other, in symbols F locG, iff there is a D-test T E 7 such that FljG N T; (iii) perspective with axis H iff they share a common local complement H.

Conversely, let L be a D-poset. Then there exists a D-algebraic D-test space (X. 7) such that L is isomorphic to n(X). Indeed, let X = L \ (0) and let 7 be the set of all finite partitions of I in L consisting of nonzero elements, then (X. 7) is a D-algebraic D-test space. We recall that if all D-tests in a D-test space (X, 7) are injective functions, then (X. 7) is a test space in the sense of Foulis and Randall [12], in addition, n(X) is an orthoalgebra. Let P and I, be two D-poscts.

A tensor product of D-posets has been investigated in the paper [4], where a necessary and sufficient condition as well as a sufficient condition for the existence the of a tensor product have been presented. In the present section, we generalize former criterion. Let P, Q, L be D-pose&. A mapping p: P x Q --) L is called a bimorphism iff (i) a, b E P with a _L b, q E Q imply ,13(a,q) I P(b,q) and P(a @ b, 4) = P(a, q)@ P(b, q); (ii) c, d E Q with

We say th,l~ ;I pair (R,T) consisting of a difference poset R and a bimorphism r: P x Q + R is a tensor product-’ of P and Q iff the following conditions are satisfied: (i) If L is a D-poset and B: P x Q + L is a bimorphism, there exists a morphism 4: R + L such that p = 4 o r. (ii) Every element of R is a finite orthogonal sum of elements of the form ~(p,q) with p E P, q E Q.

It is not hard to show that if a tensor product (R, 7) of P and Q exists, it is unique up to an isomorphism, i.e., if (R,T) and (R*, 7”) are tensor products of D-posets P and Q, then there is a unique isomorphism 4: R + R* such that cJ(+, q)) = T*(P, q) for all P E P, 4 E Q. Unless confusion threatens, we usually refer to P @ Q rather than to (P @ Q. @), and we shall write p @ q := @(p, q), p E P, q E Q, where 8 is a bimorphism. THEOREM 5.2. Let both D-posets P and Q possess at least one state. Then the tensor product of P and Q exists in the category of D-posets.

Proof: Let L = [0, l] be endowed with the natural ordering and the difference b 8 a := b - a, a, b E [0, 11. Then L is a D-poset. Choose two states p and v on P and Q, respectively, and define a mapping fiIIc,,: P x Q 4 L such that

(5.2)

which, by [4, Thm 7.21, is a necessary and sufficient Then P/L” is a bimorphism, condition for P and Q to admit a tensor product. from the definition of P @ Q it follows that there is Since & is a bimorphism, a morphism 4: P @ Q + [0, l] such that #(p Qtiq) = &,(p,q), p E I’, q E Q. But it of means that 4 is a state on P x Q with the desired property (5.1). The uniqueness 4 is clear due to the property of P cs Q that any element t t P :A Q is of the form 0 t = @:1,P,@% We note that in Theorem 7.3 of [4] it has been stated that if both a sufficient system of states,3 then P and Q admit the tensor product, shows that the assumption of the sufficiency of states is superfluous. Let P and Q be D-posets. We say that a couple K = (C, B). where family of D-posets and B is a nonvoid family of bimorphisms on P (i) for any 0 E B there exists a D-poset L E C such that 0: P x Q + any L E C there is a bimorphism p E B with 8: P x Q + L, is said to cluss for P and Q.

P and Q have Theorem 5.2 L is a nonvoid x Q such that L, and (ii) for be a consistent

DEFINITION 5.3. Let K = (l,B) be a consistent class for the D-posets P and Q. We say that a pair (T, 7) consisting of a difference poset T and a bimorphism 7: P x Q + T is a tensor product of P and Q in rhe cfuss K = (,C, I?) iff the following conditions are satisfied: (i) T E C, 7 E B. (ii) If L is a D-poset in if, and 3 is a bimorphism in B, ,O: P x Q --f L, there exists a morphism 4: T + L such that ,!I = 4 o 7. (iii) Every element of T is a finite $-orthogonal sum of elements of the form r(p,q) with p E P, q E Q.

Similarly as above, if a tensor product (T, r) of P and Q exists in the class K, it is unique up to isomorphism. It is clear that if C consists of all D-posets L for which there exists a bimorphism P: P x Q + L and B is the family of all those bimorphisms, then tensor products from Definition 5.1 and Definition 5.2 coincide. Moreover, let K, = (C,, B,), i = 1,2, be two consistent classes for P and Q such that Cr C: Cz and Br C &. If (T~,r~), i = 1,2, is a tensor product of P and Q, then there exists a morphism 4: T2 * TI such that 71 = do ~1. Suppose that Pr and Pl are nonempty families of states on difference posets P and Q.

We say that a family of states P on a D-poset L is separating iff p(u) = p(b) for any p E P implies a = b; (9; strong iff, for a,b E L, the statement “if ~(a) = 1, then p(b) = 1, p E P” implies a < b; (iii) unital iff, for any a E L, a # 0, there is I_LE P with ~(a) = 1; order determining iff the condition p(u) 5 p(b) for all p E P implies a 5 b; V fuZZ iff P is separating, and if X:=1 ,~(ai) = 1 for any p E P, then @Tz, ui (G exists in L and @y=“=, ui = 1. If P is a strong system of states, then P is (i) unital; (ii) separating, and (iii) order determining. If P is order determining, so is separating. It is not hard to show that if a D-poset L has a unital system of states, then L is an orthoalgebra: Indeed, let a -L a. If a # 0, there is ,LLE P with p(u) = 1, which gives a contradiction 1 > ~(a @ u) = ~(a) + ~(a) = 2. Now if an orthoalgebra has a strong system of states, then L is an OMP: a I b and a, b 5 c, then p(c) = 0 implies ~(a) = p(b) = 0 = ~(a $ b). Hence, cl 5 (u @ b)‘, which gives a $ b 5 c and u@b=uVb. If L is a D-poset and P is order determining, then P is full: Let CL, ,u(uz) = 1. Then, for any i # j, ,u(u~) 5 I, so that a, -L a3 and ui @a, E L. By induction we can show that @y=“=, ui E L, and the separateness of P implies @z, a, = 1. As a corollary we have that E(H) has no strong system of states whenever dimH > 1, but it has an order determining system of states and a full one (see formula (4.4)). Similarly, the D-poset L, from the Example 2.7, which is determined by a generator g, has the unique order determining and full system of states, namely P = {p}, where ,LLis determined by (4.3). THEOREM 5.4.Let PI and PZ be nonvoid systems of states on the D-posets P and Q, respectively. Let Cp be the set of all D-posets L such that there is a bimorphism K: P x Q + L, and the set P, := {p. ~3~V: ,LLE PI, v E Pz} is a full system of states on L, where p 18%v(K(I), q)) := &I) . v(q), p E P, q E Q, and let t?~ be the set of all these bimorphisms KS. Then K = (C,, t?p) is a consistent class for P and Q, and there exists the tensor product of P and Q in the class Ic.

Proof Let X be the subset of P x Q consisting of all pairs (p, q) with p # 0, q # 0. is a finite sequence of elements from X and X E P, If IV = ((Pl,ql>,...,(Pn,qn)) we put R.

with the understanding that if M = 0, then X(M) = 0. Define now the set F of all finite sequences T = {(pi, qz)}yzI of elements in X such that X(T) = 1 for any X E P. Since X(1,1) = 1, _7=is nonvoid. It is clear that if (p, q) E X, then from the set {(p, q), (p’, q), (p, ql), (p’, ql)} n X we can choose a finite sequence containing (p, q) and belonging to FT. Denote by &(_F) the set of all finite sequences {(pj, qj): j E J} such that J C 1 and {(pi, qi): i E I} E F. We put {(pi, qi): i E 0) = 0. It is evident that (X, .F) is a D-algebraic D-test space.

The tensor product of D-algebraic D-test spaces and its relationships to the tensor product of the corresponding D-posets have been introduced and studied in [6]. In the present section, we give an analogue of the state tensor product of D-posets for D-test spaces. Let (X, I), (Y,S) be D-test spaces. Let 4: X + Y be a mapping. For E E X’ we denote by 4(E) the function @(E):=QoEEY’. that

A mapping 4: X + Y is called a morphism (of D-test spaces) if 4(T) E S for every T E 7. Evidently, if E, F E I(X) and ELF, then 4(E), 4(F) E E(Y), @(E&+6(F) and #(EilF) = ti(E)C@(F) (we identify events related by -). Also, E cz F implies Q(E) = b(F). A morphism 4: X + Y will be called an isomorphism iff q5 is bijective, and 4-l is a morphism. Let (X, I), (Y, S) be D-test spaces and let F t X’. G E Y“.

If a tensor product of D-algebraic D-test spaces exists, it is unique up to isomorphism. Unless confusion threatens, we usually refer to the tensor product (X @ Y, 7 @ S, @), and by CC 8 y we denote the image of (x, y) under the bimorphism 8. Theorem 10.3 in [6] says that the tensor product of D-algebraic D-test spaces (X,7) and (Y,S) in the category of D-algebraic D-test spaces exists iff there is a D-algebraic D-test space (Z, U) and a bimorphism p: X x Y + 2.

Proof Let L = [0, 11, and endow L with the natural ordering and the difference tes = t-s iff 0 5 s 5 t 5 1. Then L with 1,8 is a complete D-poset. Let U be the set of all finite or countable sequences {ti}i in [0, l] such that ti # 0 and xi t, = 1. Then (L,U) is a D-algebraic D-test space. Let w1 and w2 be weights on (X, 7) and (Y, S), respectively, and define a mapping &w2(x, Y> = Wl(X) . W2(Y), x E X, y E Y. Then easy calculations prove that /3w,w, is a bimorphism from X x Y into [0, 11. According to [6, Thm 10.31, there is a tensor product (X @ Y,I@S,@) of (X,7) and (Y,S). Due to the basic property of the tensor product, there is a morphism C#Jfrom X 8 Y into [0, l] such that &,,,, = 4 o 18. We assert that $I is a weight on X 8 Y. Indeed, since if T = {T(i)}i is a D-test in X @Y, so 40 T is a D-test in [0, 11, which means that xi 4(T(i)) = 1. Let x E X, y E Y be given, then 4(x C$y) = Pw,wz(x, y) = WI(Z). w2(y) and 4 is a unique weight on X @Y with the property (6.2). 0

(2) A D-test space with a full system of states is D-algebraic; the proof is similar to that of Theorem 8.2 in [6]. D-test space. We will say that (X, 7) is reduced (3) Let (X, 7) b e a D-algebraic if, for z,y E X, {z} z {y} implies T = y. It is easy to see that for every D-algebraic D-test space there is a reduced D-algebraic D-test space with the same D-poset II(X). Clearly, a D-test space with a full set of weights is reduced.

EXAMPLE 7.1. Let L = [0, 11, X = (0, 11, and let any D-test in 7 consist of all finite sequences {lcz} in X such that Ci zi = 1. Then on (X, 7) there is a unique weight w = idx. Therefore, the weight tensor product of (X, 7) with itself is again (X, 7). To prove that it is necessary to repeat the proof of Theorem 5.4. In addition, let f,g, h be generators on [0, 11. Then Lf @ L, and Lh @ Lh are isomorphic, and Lf @p L, and Lh are isomorphic. This is true because all L,‘s are isomorphic with Lid; the mapping 4y: Lid + L,, t H g-l(t), t E [0, 11, is an isomorphism. EXAMPLE 7.2. Let S be a real or complex inner product space. Put X = {z E S: llzll = 1) and let 7 consist of the set of all maximal orthonormal systems in S. Then (X, 7) is a test space, and the following statements are equivalent [3, 71:

(i) (X, 7) is an algebraic test space. (ii) (X,7) possesses at least one weight. (iii) S is complete. If one statement is satisfied, then H(X) is isomorphic to the subspaces in the Hilbert space S, which is a complete OMP.

Then A, and Ay are completely full systems of weights on X and Y, respectively. The complete weight tensor product of (X, 7) and (Y, S) with respect to A, and Ay exists and is equal to (Z,U, B), where Z={A@B:

respectively, which are in fact tests [12]. Denote by 7 and S the systems on X and Y. Let Ax and Ay have the same meaning as in Example 7.3. Then tensor product of (X, I) and (Y,S) is (Z,U), where Z and U have the as in Example 7.3. In addition, n(Z) is an orthoalgebra; we recall that do not know whether is it an OMP.

EXAMPLE 7.6. Let P be the Phano plane whose diagram is illustrated in Fig. 1, which is an example of an orthoalgebra. It is known that P 8 P does not exist in the category of orthoalgebras [9], but it exists in the category of D-posets [4]. Let X = {a, b, c, d, e, f, g} be a test space of the Phano plane, where the tests are {a, b, c},

{c, d, e),

We assert that the weight tensor product of (X, 7) with itself exists, however the set of all weights on (X,7) consists of a unique weight p with ,u({z}) = l/3, z E X. We claim that the weight tensor product of (X, 7) with itself is any D-algebraic D-test space (Z, U, r), where Z = {z}, U = {T}, where T: { 1, . . . ,9} + Z, and ~(2, y) = z, 2, y E X. We recall that on (Z,U) there is a unique weight w, namely w(z) = l/9. Therefore, in K = (X,B), X consists of the set of all isomorphic D-test spaces with (Z,U). It is worth noting that n(Z) = (20, ~1,. . . ,x9} with 0 = 20 < 21 < . . . < x9 = 1, where the difference 8 is defined as follows: xj 8 xi = xj-i, 0 5 i 5 j 5 9. The

difference 8 is the unique one for a finite chain 0 = rcg < zt < .. < XC)= 1 to be a D-poset [22]. On 17(Z) there is a unique state p, namely I = i/9, i = 0, 1, . . . ,9. On the other hand, the exact form of the (algebraic) tensor product P @ P is unknown. Little is known about this tensor product. For example, using the same reasoning as in [9] (which has been used to show that P ~3P does not exist in the category of orthoalgebras) we can show that a @ b 1 c @Cd for all c1!b, c, d E L.

8. Concluding

remarks

We studied the tensor product of D-posets and of D-test spaces determined by sets of states or weights. These tensor products may be, in general, different from the algebraic tensor products (not depending on states). However, the statistical information pertinent to individual systems is preserved in the joint system described by a state (weight) tensor product. We found concrete examples of state and weight tensor products in some cases, where the form of the algebraic tensor product is not known yet, in particular, the state tensor product of the sets of all effects in Hilbert spaces is presented.
