Orthocomplemented weak tensor products

Abstract

Let L_1 and L_2 be complete atomistic lattices. In a previous paper, we have defined a set S=S(L_1,L_2) of complete atomistic lattices, the elements of which are called weak tensor products of L_1 and L_2. S is defined by means of three axioms, natural regarding the description of some compound systems in quantum logic. It has been proved that S is a complete lattice. The top element of S, denoted by L_1 v L_2, is the tensor product of Fraser whereas the bottom element, denoted by L_1 ^ L_2, is the box product of Graetzer and Wehrung. With some additional hypotheses on L_1 and L_2 (true for instance if L_1 and L_2 are moreover orthomodular with the covering property) we prove that S is a singleton if and only if L_1 or L_2 is distributive, if and only if L_1 v L_2 has the covering property. Our main result reads: L in S admits an orthocomplementation if and only if L=L_1 ^ L_2. At the end, we construct an example in S which has the covering property.

There is no maximal $K$-degree

The Kolmogorov complexity of a string characterize how complex it is to describe the string. If every prefix of a real $x$ is more complex to describe than every prefix (of the same length) of real $y$, then it is seen as $x$ is more complex to describe than $y$. It is wondered if there is a real $x$ so that no other reals are strictly more complex (to describe) than $x$. The behavior of Kolmogorov complexity functions generated by reals (namely $n\mapsto$ the minimal description length of the real) is quite chaos. Therefore, it is widely believed that there are many reals that are maximally complex to describe. For instance, it is conjectured that all random enough reals have maximal $K$-degree. In this paper, it is shown that there is no real with maximal $K$-degree. Actually, for almost all real $x$, we can uniformly computably find another real whose $K$-degree is strictly above $x$.

Quadruples and cubes

We prove, in $\mathsf{ZFC}$, that the $\lambda$-terraced cube relation fails whenever $\lambda$ is an uncountable cardinal. The corresponding terraced relation for quadruples fails for every $\lambda$. If $\lambda$ is $\aleph_0$ then the pretinent terraced relation has consistency strength of at least one Woodin cardinal. We prove positive polarized relations at a successor and a double successor from wondrous ideals. We show, however, that there are no such ideals over two consecutive cardinals simultaneously.

Possibilistic Logic over a Logic of Formal Inconsistency

In this article, we have introduced a new possibilistic logic on a logic of formal inconsistency with the aim of developing a possibility theoretic framework to deal with uncertainty and inconsistency meaningfully without leading to a system collapse. We have discussed the syntax and semantics for this logic and have proved the soundness and completeness theorems. A set of new measures of consistency, contradictoriness, and triviality of a set of formulas have been defined. These have then been put to use in an example to show that this framework can provide better means of machine reasoning.
