چکیده
Using duality theory, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the MacNeille, canonical, and profinite completions of distributive lattices, Heyting algebras, and Boolean algebras to be isomorphic.

Macneille Completions and Canonical Extensions
Let V be a variety of monotone bounded lattice expansions, that is, bounded lattices endowed with additional operations, each of which is order preserving or reversing in each coordinate. We prove that if V is closed under MacNeille completions, then it is also closed under canonical extensions. As a corollary we show that in the case of Boolean algebras with operators, any such variety V is ge...
متن کاملProfinite Completions and Canonical Extensions of Heyting Algebras
We show that the profinite completions and canonical extensions of bounded distributive lattices and of Boolean algebras coincide. We characterize dual spaces of canonical extensions of bounded distributive lattices and of Heyting algebras in terms of Nachbin order-compactifications. We give the dual description of the profinite completion ̂ H of a Heyting algebra H, and characterize the dual sp...
متن کاملOn profinite completions and canonical extensions
We show that if a variety V of monotone lattice expansions is finitely generated, then profinite completions agree with canonical extensions on V . The converse holds for varieties of finite type. It is a matter of folklore that the profinite completion of a Boolean algebra B is given by the power set of the Stone space of B, or in the terminology of Jónsson and Tarski [5], by the canonical ext...
متن کاملMacneille Completions of Modal Algebras
For a modal algebra (B, f), there are two natural ways to extend f to an operation on the MacNeille completion of B. The resulting structures are called the lower and upper MacNeille completions of (B, f). In this paper we consider lower and upper MacNeille completions for various varieties of modal algebras. In particular, we characterize the varieties of closure algebras and diagonalizable al...
متن کاملMacneille Completions of Heyting Algebras
In this note we provide a topological description of the MacNeille completion of a Heyting algebra similar to the description of the MacNeille completion of a Boolean algebra in terms of regular open sets of its Stone space. We also show that the only varieties of Heyting algebras that are closed under MacNeille completions are the trivial variety, the variety of all Boolean algebras, and the v...
