A problem of A. Monteiro concerning relative complementation of lattices
We prove a theorem (for arbitrary ring varieties and, in a stronger form, for varieties of associative rings) which basically reduces the problem of a description of varieties with distributive subvariety lattice to the case of algebras over a finite prime field.
This paper aims to propose a complete relational semantics for the so-called logic of bounded lattices, and prove a completeness theorem with regard to a class of two-sorted frames that is dually equivalent (categorically) to the variety of bounded lattices.
