Congruence Lattices of Semilattices

چکیده
The main result of this paper is that the class of congruence lattices of semilattices satisfies no nontrivial lattice identities. It is also shown that the class of subalgebra lattices of semilattices satisfies no nontrivial lattice identities. As a consequence it is shown that if 5^* is a semigroup variety all of whose congruence lattices satisfy some fixed nontrivial lattice identity, then all the members of 5^" are groups with exponent dividing a fixed finite number.

Lattices and semilattices having an antitone involution in every upper interval
We study ∨-semilattices and lattices with the greatest element 1 where every interval [p,1] is a lattice with an antitone involution. We characterize these semilattices by means of an induced binary operation, the so called sectionally antitone involution. This characterization is done by means of identities, thus the classes of these semilattices or lattices form varieties. The congruence prop...
متن کاملCongruence lattices of pseudocomplemented semilattices
Congruence lattices of algebras in various varieties have been studied extensively in the literature. For example, congruence lattices (i.e. lattices of ideals) of Boolean algebras were characterized by Nachbin [18] (see also Gratzer [9] and Jonsson [16]) while congruence lattices of semilattices were investigated by Papert [19], Dean and Oehmke [4] and others. In this paper we initiate the inv...
متن کاملCongruence Lattices of Congruence Semidistributive Algebras
Nearly twenty years ago, two of the authors wrote a paper on congruence lattices of semilattices [9]. The problem of finding a really useful characterization of congruence lattices of finite semilattices seemed too hard for us, so we went on to other things. Thus when Steve Seif asked one of us at the October 1990 meeting of the AMS in Amherst what we had learned in the meantime, the answer was...
متن کاملCongruence Lifting of Diagrams of Finite Boolean Semilattices Requires Large Congruence Varieties
We construct a diagram D⊲⊳, indexed by a finite partially ordered set, of finite Boolean 〈∨, 0, 1〉-semilattices and 〈∨, 0, 1〉-embeddings, with top semilattice 2, such that for any variety V of algebras, if D⊲⊳ has a lifting, with respect to the congruence lattice functor, by algebras and homomorphisms in V, then there exists an algebra U in V such that the congruence lattice of U contains, as a...
متن کاملLattices of Theories in Languages without Equality
If S is a semilattice with operators, then there is an implicational theory Q such that the congruence lattice Con(S) is isomorphic to the lattice of all implicational theories containing Q. The author and Kira Adaricheva have shown that lattices of quasi-equational theories are isomorphic to congruence lattices of semilattices with operators [1]. That is, given a quasi-equational theory Q, the...
