Observables on lexicographic effect algebras

We study lexicographic effect algebras which are intervals in lexicographic products H×→G\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$H\,\overrightarrow{\times }\,G$$\end{document}, where (H, u) is a unital po-group and G is a monotone σ\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\sigma $$\end{document}-complete po-group with interpolation. We prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between observables, which are a special kind of σ\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\sigma $$\end{document}-homomorphisms and analogues of measurable functions, and spectral resolutions which are systems {xt:t∈R}\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\{x_t : t \in {\mathbb {R}}\}$$\end{document} of elements of a lexicographic effect algebra that are monotone, “left continuous”, and going to 0 if t→-∞\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$t\rightarrow -\infty $$\end{document} and to 1 if t→+∞\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$t\rightarrow +\infty $$\end{document}. We show that this correspondence in lexicographic effect algebras holds only for spectral resolutions with the finiteness property. Otherwise, they do not determine any observable. Whence, the information involved in a spectral resolution with the finiteness property completely describes information about an observable.
