Abstract
We show there are no non-trivial finite Abelian group-valued measures on the lattice of closed subspaces of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space, and we use this to establish that the unigroup of the lattice of closed subspaces of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is divisible. The main technique is a combinatorial construction of a set of vectors in R2ngeneralizing properties of those used in various treatments of the Kochen–Specker theorem in R4.
