Ortholattices

Abbreviation: OLat

Definition

An \emph{ortholattice} is a structure L=L,,0,,1, such that

L,,0,,1 is a bounded lattice

is complementation: xx=1, xx=0, x=x

satisfies De Morgan's laws: (xy)=xy, (xy)=xy

Morphisms

Let L and M be ortholattices. A morphism from L to M is a function h:LM that is a homomorphism:

h(xy)=h(x)h(y), h(xy)=h(x)h(y), h(x)=h(x)

Examples

Example 1: P(S),,,,S, the collection of subsets of a set S, with union, empty set, intersection, and the whole set S.
