Kadison’s antilattice theorem for a synaptic algebra

We prove that if A is a synaptic algebra and the orthomodular lattice P of projections in A is complete, then A is a factor if and only if A is an antilattice.We also generalize several other results of R. Kadison pertaining to infima and suprema in operator algebras.
