In the early eighties, A. Huhn proved that if D, E are finite distributive lattices and ψ : D → E is a {0}-preserving join-embedding, then there are finite lattices K, L and there is a lattice homomorphism φ : K → L such that ConK (the congruence lattice of K) is isomorphic to D, ConL (the congruence lattice of L) is isomorphic to E, and the natural induced mapping extφ : ConK → ConL represents...

A locally modular (resp. locally distributive) lattice is a lattice with a congruence relation and each of whose equivalence class has sufficiently many elements and is a modular (resp. distributive) sublattice. Both the lattice of all closed subspaces of a locally convex space and the lattice of projections of a locally finite von Neumann algebra are locally modular. The lattice of all /^-topo...

Suppose (Ω, ∗, I) is a commutative, unital quantale. Categories enriched over Ω can be studied as generalized, or many-valued, ordered structures. Because many concepts, such as complete distributivity, in lattice theory can be characterized by existence of certain adjunctions, they can be reformulated in the many-valued setting in terms of categorical postulations. So, it is possible, by aid o...

For a quantale V, the category V-Top of V-valued topological spaces may be introduced as a full subcategory of those V-valued closure spaces whose closure operation preserves finite joins. In generalization of Barr’s characterization of topological spaces as the lax algebras of a lax extension of the ultrafilter monad from maps to relations of sets, for V completely distributive, V-topological ...

A. Huhn proved that the dimension of Euclidean spaces can be characterized through algebraic properties of the lattices of convex sets. In fact, the lattice of convex sets of IEn is n+1-distributive but not n-distributive. In this paper his result is generalized for a class of algebraic lattices generated by their completely join-irreducible elements. The lattice theoretic form of Carathédory's...
