Remarks on annihilators preserving congruence relations
Sergio Arturo Celani · Mathematica Slovaca · 2012
Abstract In this note we shall give some results on annihilators preserving congruence relations, or AP-congruences, in bounded distributive lattices. We shall give some new characterizations, and a topological interpretation of the notion of annihilator preserving congruences introduced in [JANOWITZ, M. F.: Annihilator preserving congruence relations of lattices, Algebra Universalis 5 (1975), 391–394]. As an application of these results, we shall prove that the quotient of a quasicomplemented lattice by means of a AP-congruence is a quasicomplemented lattice. Similarly, we will prove that the quotient of a normal latttice by means of a AP-congruence is also a normal lattice.
