Abstract

For a finite distributive lattice DD, let us call QDQ \subseteq D \emph{principal congruence representable}, if there is a finite lattice LL such that the congruence lattice of LL is isomorphic to DD and the principal congruences of LL correspond to QQ under this isomorphism. We find a necessary condition for representability by principal congruences and prove that for finite distributive lattices with a join-irreducible unit element this condition is also sufficient.
