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:
“It would be disingenuous, however, not to point out that some things are considered as morally certain, that is, as having sufficient certainty for application to ordinary life, even though they may be uncertain in relation to the absolute power of God.”
—René Descartes (1596–1650)
“Skepticism is unbelief in cause and effect. A man does not see, that, as he eats, so he thinks: as he deals, so he is, and so he appears; he does not see that his son is the son of his thoughts and of his actions; that fortunes are not exceptions but fruits; that relation and connection are not somewhere and sometimes, but everywhere and always; no miscellany, no exemption, no anomaly,—but method, and an even web; and what comes out, that was put in.”
—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)
“... the big courageous acts of life are those one never hears of and only suspects from having been through like experience. It takes real courage to do battle in the unspectacular task. We always listen for the applause of our co-workers. He is courageous who plods on, unlettered and unknown.... In the last analysis it is this courage, developing between man and his limitations, that brings success.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
