Abstract

In this paper, we show that given a weakly dicomplemented lattice (WDL) L=(L;,,Δ,,0,1)\mathcal{L}=(L; \vee, \wedge, ^{\Delta}, ^{\nabla}, 0, 1), Δ^{\Delta} induces a structure of a dual weakly complemented lattice in the lattice (F(L),)(F(L), \subseteq) of filters of L\mathcal{L}. We prove that the set of dense elements of F(L)F(L) forms a nearlattice, and the set of principal filters of L\mathcal{L} forms a dual weakly complemented lattice that is dually isomorphic to the weakly complemented lattice (WCL) (L,,,Δ,0,1)(L,\wedge, \vee, ^{\Delta}, 0, 1).\par Each filter of the dual skeleton S(L)\overline{S}(L) of LL constitutes a base of some filter in LL, called an S-filter, and it is proved that S-filters form a complete lattice isomorphic to the complete lattice of filters of S(L)\overline{S}(L). S-primary filters are introduced and investigated, and it is shown that there exists a bijection between the set of prime filters of S(L)\overline{S}(L) and the set of S-primary filters of L\mathcal{L}. Furthermore, each maximal filter of a WDL L\mathcal{L} is a primary filter, though there exist primary filters of L\mathcal{L} that are not maximal.The congruences generated by filters in a distributive weakly complemented lattice are characterized. Finally, simple and subdirectly irreducible distributive weakly complemented lattices are also characterized using S-filters.
