Does there exist an atomic lattice effect algebra with non-atomic subalgebra of sharp elements? An affirmative answer to this question (and slightly more) is given: An example of an atomic MV-effect algebra with a non-atomic Boolean subalgebra of sharp or central elements is presented.
In this paper, we define some types of filters in lattice effect algebras, investigate some relations between them and introduce some new examples of lattice effect algebras. Then by using the strong filter, we find a CI-lattice congruence on lattice effect algebras, such that the induced quotient structure of it is a lattice effect algebra, too. Finally, under some suitable conditions, we get a quotient MV-effect algebra and a quotient orthomodular lattice, by this congruence relation.
