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:
“You must realize that I was suffering from love and I knew him as intimately as I knew my own image in a mirror. In other words, I knew him only in relation to myself.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Every word was once a poem. Every new relation is a new word.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Whatever else American thinkers do, they psychologize, often brilliantly. The trouble is that psychology only takes us so far. The new interest in families has its merits, but it will have done us all a disservice if it turns us away from public issues to private matters. A vision of things that has no room for the inner life is bankrupt, but a psychology without social analysis or politics is both powerless and very lonely.”
—Joseph Featherstone (20th century)
