Abstract

We define topological orthoalgebras (TOAs) and study their properties. While every topological orthomodular lattice is a TOA, the lattice of projections of a Hilbert space is an example of a lattice-ordered TOA that is not a toplogical lattice. On the other hand, we show that every compact Boolean TOA is a topological Boolean algebra. We also show that a compact TOA in which 0 is an isolated point is atomic and of finite height. We identify and study a particularly tractable class of TOAs, which we call {\em stably ordered}: those in which the upper-set generated by an open set is open. This includes all topological OMLs, and also the projection lattices of Hilbert spaces. Finally, we obtain a topological version of the Foulis-Randall representation theory for stably ordered TOAs

Directed partial orders on the complex number field

We construct a class of positive cones that make $\mathbb{C}$ into a directed partially ordered ring. The positive cones are defined using integral closures of local rings, associated with a transcendence basis and a chosen real generator. A localization criterion also yields such orders on every transcendental extension of $\mathbb{Q}$. For a fixed coefficient field, we prove that two real generators define the same cone if and only if they differ by an affine map with positive real-algebraic slope and translation algebraic over that field. The nonzero positive elements are closed under inversion.

Anti-successors and anti-replicators, Manin products and Koszul duality

We develop an operadic theory of anti-splitting and anti-replicating for binary operads. For a binary operad $\opd$, we define its anti-bisuccessor $\ABSu(\opd)$ and anti-trisuccessor $\ATSu(\opd)$. Each generating operation is recovered as the negative sum of two or three split operations, yielding canonical operad morphisms $\opd\to\ABSu(\opd)$ and $\opd\to\ATSu(\opd)$. For binary quadratic operads, these constructions are described by Manin black products: \[ \ABSu(\opd)\cong\antiprelie\bullet\opd, \qquad \ATSu(\opd)\cong\antipostlie\bullet\opd. \] Dually, we also introduce the canonical quadratic anti-duplicator and anti-triplicator, together with their combinatorial counterparts defined by labeled planar binary trees. We show that they coincide precisely under a full-support condition. As applications, we obtain anti-dupli-com and anti-dupli-Lie algebras. We also display an example in which the two constructions differ. Furthermore, we establish the Koszul duality relations \[ \widehat{\ADup}(\opd^!) \cong\ABSu(\opd)^!, \qquad \widehat{\ATrip}(\opd^!) \cong\ATSu(\opd)^!, \] providing an effective description of the canonical quadratic anti-duplicator in terms of the Manin white product. The framework recovers known constructions, including anti-dendriform, anti-pre-Lie and anti-pre-Poisson algebras, and produces further examples and Koszul dual pairs.

On the Connected Components of Structure Graphs of Associative Rings

The article studies the notion of the structure graph of an associative ring with unity. It is known that the structural graph of a ring with $n$ elements has at least $n$ connected components. The article investigates when this lower bound is attained. A hypothesis is stated that the only rings of order $n$ having exactly $n$ connected components are the rings $\mathbb{Z}_2$, $\mathbb{Z}_3$, $\mathbb{Z}_7$, $GF(4)$, and their direct sums. The hypothesis is proved for all rings except residue rings modulo a prime of the form $7+12k$, $k\geq181$, and Galois fields of characteristic~2 with extension degree $\geq17$.
