Abstract

Two years ago, I characterized the order \PrinclL\Princl L of principal congruences of a bounded lattice LL as a bounded order. If KK and LL are bounded lattices and \gf\gf is a \zo homomorphism of KK into~LL, then there is a natural isotone \zo-map \gf\Hom\gf_{\Hom} from \PrinclK\Princl K into \PrinclL\Princl L. We prove the converse: For bounded orders PP and QQ and an isotone \zo map \gy\gy of PP into QQ, we represent PP and QQ as \PrinclK\Princl K and \PrinclL\Princl L for bounded lattices KK and LL with a \zo homomorphism \gf\gf of KK into LL, so that \gy\gy is represented as \gf\Hom\gf_{\Hom}.
