Abstract

top
If R is a commutative ring with identity and is defined by letting a b mean a b = a or a = b , then ( R , ) is a partially ordered ring. Necessary and sufficient conditions on R are given for ( R , ) to be a lattice, and conditions are given for it to be modular or distributive. The results are applied to the rings Z n of integers mod n for n 2 . In particular, if R is reduced, then ( R , ) is a lattice iff R is a weak Baer ring, and ( R , ) is a distributive lattice iff R is a Boolean ring, Z 3 , Z 4 , Z 2 [ x ] / x 2 Z 2 [ x ] , or a four element field.

AB - If $R$ is a commutative ring with identity and $\le $ is defined by letting $a\le b$ mean $ab=a$ or $a=b$, then $(R,\le )$ is a partially ordered ring. Necessary and sufficient conditions on $R$ are given for $(R,\le )$ to be a lattice, and conditions are given for it to be modular or distributive. The results are applied to the rings $Z_{n}$ of integers mod $n$ for $n\ge 2$. In particular, if $R$ is reduced, then $(R,\le )$ is a lattice iff $R$ is a weak Baer ring, and $(R,\le )$ is a distributive lattice iff $R$ is a Boolean ring, $Z_{3},Z_{4}$, $Z_{2}[x]/x^{2}Z_{2}[x]$, or a four element field.
