Quotient Lattices Modulo Filters and Direct Product of Two Lattices
Grzegorz Bancerek · 1991
Summary. Binary and unary operation preserving binary relations and quotients of those operations modulo equivalence relations are introduced. It is shown that the quotients inherit some important properties (commutativity, associativity, distributivity, ect.). Based on it the quotient (also called factor) lattice modulo filter (ie. modulo the equivalence relation w.r.t the filter) is introduced. Similarly, some properties of the direct product of two binary (unary) operations are presented and then the direct product of two lattices is introduced. Besides, the heredity of distributivity, modularity, completeness, etc., for the product of lattices is also shown. Finally, the concept of isomorphic lattices is introduced, and it is shown that every Boolean lattice B is isomorphic with the direct product of the factor lattice B/[a] and the lattice latt[a], where a is an element of B.
