چکیده
For any ordered set P, the join dense completions of P form a complete lattice K(P) with least element O(P), the lattice of order ideals of P, and greatest element M(P), the Dedekind-MacNeille completion of P. The latticeK(P) is isomorphic to an ideal of the lattice of all closure operators on the lattice O(P). Thus it inherits some local structural properties which hold in the lattice of closure operators on any complete lattice. In particular, if K(P) is nite, then it is an upper semimodular lattice and an upper bounded homomorphic image of a free lattice, and hence meet semidistributive. A join dense completion of an ordered set P is an order embedding " : P! L ofP into a complete lattice L such that "(P) is join dense in L, i.e., for every x 2 L, x = W f"(p) : "(p) xg. It is well known that the embedding p 7! #p of P into the complete lattice O(P) of order ideals of P is a join dense completion of P. Likewise, so is the natural embedding of P into the lattice of normal ideals of P, which is the Dedekind-MacNeille completion. Each join dense completion " : P ! L induces a closure operator " on P such that "(fpg) = #p for all p 2 P, given by "(S) = fp 2 P : "(p) W "(S)g. Moreover, L is isomorphic to the lattice of closed sets of " via the mapping h : x 7! fp 2 P : "(p) xg. Conversely, let be a closure operator on P such that (fpg) = #p for all p 2 P, and let C denote the lattice of -closed sets, ordered by inclusion. Then the map : P ! C given by (p) = #p is a join dense completion of P. Moreover, if = ", then the join dense completions " and are isomorphic in the sense that h : L = C and h" = . It is naturally more convenient to work with this set of closure operators on P than to work with the class of all join dense completions. Let K(P) be the set of closure operators on P such that (fpg) = #p for all p 2 P, ordered by if (S) (S) for all S P. It is not hard to see that K(P) is a complete lattice, since it has a largest element and is closed under arbitrary nonempty intersections. The closure operator corresponding to the completion : P ! O(P) is its smallest element, and : P! M(P) induces the greatest element of K(P). With the lattice K(P) in mind, let us consider more generally the lattice of all closure operators on a complete lattice. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classi cation. 06A23, 06A15.

متن کاملConvex $L$-lattice subgroups in $L$-ordered groups
In this paper, we have focused to study convex $L$-subgroups of an $L$-ordered group. First, we introduce the concept of a convex $L$-subgroup and a convex $L$-lattice subgroup of an $L$-ordered group and give some examples. Then we find some properties and use them to construct convex $L$-subgroup generated by a subset $S$ of an $L$-ordered group $G$ . Also, we generalize a well known result a...
متن کاملA classification of hull operators in archimedean lattice-ordered groups with unit
The category, or class of algebras, in the title is denoted by $bf W$. A hull operator (ho) in $bf W$ is a reflection in the category consisting of $bf W$ objects with only essential embeddings as morphisms. The proper class of all of these is $bf hoW$. The bounded monocoreflection in $bf W$ is denoted $B$. We classify the ho's by their interaction with $B$ as follows. A ``word'' is a function ...

For an f-ring with bounded inversion property, we show that , the set of all basic z-ideals of , partially ordered by inclusion is a bounded distributive lattice. Also, whenever is a semiprimitive ring, , the set of all basic -ideals of , partially ordered by inclusion is a bounded distributive lattice. Next, for an f-ring with bounded inversion property, we prove that is a complemented...
متن کاملON THE SYSTEM OF LEVEL-ELEMENTS INDUCED BY AN L-SUBSET
This paper focuses on the relationship between an $L$-subset and the system of level-elements induced by it, where the underlying lattice $L$ is a complete residuated lattice and the domain set of $L$-subset is an $L$-partially ordered set $(X,P)$. Firstly, we obtain the sufficient and necessary condition that an $L$-subset is represented by its system of level-elements. Then, a new representat...
