Macneille Completions and Canonical Extensions

چکیده
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 generated by an elementary class of relational structures. Our main technical construction reveals that the canonical extension of a monotone bounded lattice expansion can be embedded in the MacNeille completion of any sufficiently saturated elementary extension of the original

Comparison of MacNeille, Canonical, and Profinite Completions
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.
متن کاملMacNeille completions of lattice expansions
There are two natural ways to extend an arbitrary map between (the carriers of) two lattices, to a map between their MacNeille completions. In this paper we investigate which properties of lattice maps are preserved under these constructions, and for which kind of maps the two extensions coincide. Our perspective involves a number of topologies on lattice completions, including the Scott topolo...
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...
متن کامل∆ 1 - Completions of a Poset Mai Gehrke & Ramon Jansana
A join-completion of a poset is a completion for which each element is obtainable as a supremum, or join, of elements from the original poset. It is well known that the join-completions of a poset are in one-to-one correspondence with the closure systems on the lattice of up-sets of the poset. A ∆1-completion of a poset is a completion for which, simultaneously, each element is obtainable as a ...
