Blocks in Pairwise Summable Generalized Effect Algebras

Abstract

We study the so-called pairwise summable generalized effect algebras and show some conditions under which they are generalized MV-effect algebras. Moreover, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for finite antichains of elements in pairwise summable generalized effect algebras under which they are sets of atoms of sub-generalized effect algebras, which are generalized MV-effect algebras in their own right. Simultaneously, we give counterexamples which show properties of those antichains which are not necessary or sufficient to be atoms of such generalized MV-effect algebras.
