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:
“Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.”
—Louis Aragon (1897–1982)
“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)
“In short, the building becomes a theatrical demonstration of its functional ideal. In this romanticism, High-Tech architecture is, of course, no different in spirit—if totally different in form—from all the romantic architecture of the past.”
—Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)
“Cubism had been an analysis of the object and an attempt to put it before us in its totality; both as analysis and as synthesis, it was a criticism of appearance. Surrealism transmuted the object, and suddenly a canvas became an apparition: a new figuration, a real transfiguration.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
