A dagger kernel category of complete orthomodular lattices

Abstract

Dagger kernel categories, a powerful framework for studying quantum phenomena within category theory, provide a rich mathematical structure that naturally encodes key aspects of quantum logic. This paper focuses on the category SupOMLatLin of complete orthomodular lattices with linear maps. We demonstrate that SupOMLatLin itself forms a dagger kernel category, equipped with additional structure such as dagger biproducts and free objects. A key result establishes that every morphism in SupOMLatLin admits an essentially unique factorization as a zero-epi followed by a dagger monomorphism. This factorization theorem, along with the dagger kernel category structure of SupOMLatLin, provides new insights into the interplay between complete orthomodular lattices and the foundational concepts of quantum theory.
