Coexistence of Hilbert space effects and orthogonality

In this paper, we show that every pair of absolutely compatible Hilbert space effects are coexistent and exhibit a partial orthogonality property. We introduce the notion of partially ortho-coexistence. We generalize absolute compatibility to obtain more examples of partially ortho-coexistent pairs and introduce the notion of generalized compatibility. In the case of ${\mathbb{M}}_2$, we discuss a geometric behaviour of the generalized compatibility.
