Spectral order on synaptic algebras
David J. Foulis, Sylvia Pulmannova
We define and study an alternative partial order, called the spectral order, on a synaptic algebra-a generalization of the self-adjoint part of a von Neumann algebra. We prove that…

Kadison's antilattice theorem for a synaptic algebra
David J. Foulis, Sylvia Pulmannova
We prove that if A is a synaptic algebra and the orthomodular lattice P of projections in A is complete, then A is a factor iff A is an antilattice. We also generalize several othe…

Banach synaptic algebras
David J. Foulis, Sylvia Pulmannova
Using a representation theorem of Erik Alfsen, Frederic Schultz, and Erling Stormer for special JB-algebras, we prove that a synaptic algebra is norm complete (i.e., Banach) if and…
