The Current Interest in Orthomodular Lattices

  • Chapter
The Logico-Algebraic Approach to Quantum Mechanics

Part of the book series: The University of Western Ontario Series in Philosophy of Science ((WONS,volume 5a))

Abstract

All published work on orthomodular lattice theory has appeared within the last fifteen years; no more than thirty people have ever worked on it; no more than fifty papers dealing explicitly with it have ever appeared: Orthomodular lattice theory is therefore a newly uncovered very small corner of mathematics.

Reprinted from Trends in Lattice Theory (ed. by J. C. Abbott), Van Nostrand Reinhold Math. Studies #31, Van Nostrand Reinhold, New York, 1970.
