| contents | It is well-known that in the logic of quantum mechanics disjunctions and conjunctions can be represented by joins and meets, respectively, in an orthomodular lattice provided their entries commute. This was the reason why J. Pykacz introduced new derived operations called ''sharp'' and ''flat'' coinciding with joins and meets, respectively, for commuting elements but sharing some appropriate properties with disjunction and conjunction, respectively, in the whole orthomodular lattice in question. The problem is that orthomodular lattices need not formalize the logic of quantum mechanics since joins may not be defined provided their entries are neither comparable nor orthogonal. A corresponding fact holds for meets. Therefore, orthomodular posets are more accepted as an algebraic formalization of such a logic. The aim of the present paper is to extend the concepts of ''sharp'' and ''flat'' operations to operators in skew orthomodular and strong skew orthomodular posets. We generalize the relation of commuting elements as well as the commutator to such posets and we present some important properties of these operators and their mutual relationships. Moreover, we show that if the poset in question is even Boolean then there can be defined a ternary operator sharing the identities of a Pixley term. Finally, under some weak conditions which are automatically satisfied in Boolean algebras we show some kind of adjointness for operators formalizing conjunction and implication, respectively. |
