Regular elements in complete uniquely complemented lattices
In this paper we shall study a notion of relative annihilator-preserving congruence relation and relative annihilator-preserving homomorphism in the class of bounded distributive semilattices. We shall give a topological characterization of this class of semilattice homomorphisms. We shall prove that the semilattice congruences that are associated with filters are exactly the relative annihilator-preserving congruence relations.
We introduce the notion of relative co-annihilator in lattice equality algebras and investigate some important properties of it. Then, we obtain some interesting relations among -irreducible filters, positive implicative filters, prime filters and relative co-annihilators. Given a lattice equality algebra and a filter of , we define the set of all -involutive filters of and show that by defining some operations on it, it makes a BL-algebra.
The author studies some characteristic properties of semiprime ideals. The semiprimeness is also used to characterize distributive and modular lattices. Prime ideals are described as the meet-irreducible semiprime ideals. In relatively complemented lattices they are characterized as the maximal semiprime ideals. -radicals of ideals are introduced and investigated. In particular, the prime radicals are determined by means of -radicals. In addition, a necessary and sufficient condition for the equality...
We give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the Scott topology on a complete lattice to be sober, and a sufficient condition for the weak topology on a poset to be sober. These generalize the corresponding results in [1], [2] and [4].
We prove the following result: Theorem. Every algebraic distributive lattice D with at most ℵ1 compact elements is isomorphic to the ideal lattice of a von Neumann regular ring R.(By earlier results of the author, the ℵ1 bound is optimal.) Therefore, D is also isomorphic to the congruence lattice of a sectionally complemented modular lattice L, namely, the principal right ideal lattice of R. Furthermore, if the largest element of D is compact, then one can assume that R is unital, respectively,...
