Lattices do not distribute over powerset

Julián Salamanca Téllez · Algebra Universalis · 2020

Abstract We show that there is no distributive law of the free lattice monad over the powerset monad. The proof presented here also works for other classes of lattices such as (bounded) distributive/modular lattices and also for some variants of the powerset monad such as the (nonempty) finite powerset monad.
