Relation To Functional Analysis
MV-algebras were related by D. Mundici to approximately finite dimensional C*-algebras by establishing a bijective correspondence between all isomorphism classes of AF C*-algebras and all isomorphism classes of countable MV algebras. Some instances of this correspondence include:
| Countable MV algebra | AF C*-algebra |
|---|---|
| {0, 1} | ℂ |
| {0, 1/n, ..., 1 } | Mn(ℂ), i.e. n×n complex matrices |
| finite | finite-dimensional |
| boolean | commutative |

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation, functional and/or analysis:
“Only in a house where one has learnt to be lonely does one have this solicitude for things. One’s relation to them, the daily seeing or touching, begins to become love, and to lay one open to pain.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
“Unaware of the absurdity of it, we introduce our own petty household rules into the economy of the universe for which the life of generations, peoples, of entire planets, has no importance in relation to the general development.”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“Well designed, fully functional infant. Provides someone to live for as well as another mouth to feed. Produces cooing, gurgling and other adorable sounds. May cause similar behavior in nearby adults. Cries when hungry, sleepy or just because. Hand Wash with warm water and mild soap, then pat dry with soft cloth and talc. Internal mechanisms are self-cleaning... Two Genders: Male. Female. Five Colors: White. Black. Yellow. Red. Camouflage.”
—Alfred Gingold, U.S. humorist. Items From Our Catalogue, “Baby,” Avon Books (1982)
“Ask anyone committed to Marxist analysis how many angels on the head of a pin, and you will be asked in return to never mind the angels, tell me who controls the production of pins.”
—Joan Didion (b. 1934)
