Orthocomplemented lattice
Builds on Bounded latticeComplemented lattice
Definition
Let be a bounded lattice with least element and greatest element . An orthocomplementation on is a map from to such that for all :
- and , so is a complement of ;
- ;
- if , then .
An orthocomplemented lattice, or ortholattice, is a bounded lattice together with an orthocomplementation.
Remarks
From clauses 2 and 3 follow the De Morgan laws and .
Example: the lattice of closed linear subspaces of a Hilbert space , with the orthogonal complement of . Here , the closed span of and is , for closed , and implies .
Non-example: the diamond lattice M3 with middle elements and the map , , , , . Each image is a complement, but , so clause 2 fails.
