The class of finite distributive lattices, as many other classes of structures, does not have the Ramsey property. It is quite common, though, that after expanding the structures with appropriately chosen linear orders the resulting class…
A lattice L is spatial if every element of L is a join of completely join-irreducible elements of L (points), and strongly spatial if it is spatial and the minimal coverings of completely join-irreducible elements are well-behaved.…
We present an easy construction producing a Kleene lattice K from an arbitrary distributive lattice L and a non-empty subset of L. We show that L can be embedded into K and compute the cardinality of K under certain additional assumptions.…
Recent results of Bucciarelli show that the semilattice of degrees of parallelism of first-order boolean functions in PCF has both infinite chains and infinite antichains. By considering a simple subclass of Sieber's sequentiality…
IIn a finite lattice, a congruence spreads from a prime interval to another by a sequence of congruence-perspectivities through \emph{intervals of arbitrary size}, by a 1955 result of J. Jakub\'ik. In this note, I introduce the concept of…
By a twenty year old result of Ralph Freese, an $n$-element lattice $L$ has at most $2^{n-1}$ congruences. We prove that if $L$ has less than $2^{n-1}$ congruences, then it has at most $2^{n-2}$ congruences. Also, we describe the…
We start a systematic analysis of the first-order model theory of free lattices. Firstly, we prove that the free lattices of finite rank are not positively indistinguishable, as there is a positive $\exists \forall$-sentence true in…
We consider a new IDLA - particle system model, on the upper half planar lattice, resulting in an infinite forest covering the half plane. We prove that almost surely all trees are finite.
A lattice L is slim if it is finite and the set of its join-irreducible elements contains no three-element antichain. We prove that there exists a positive constant C such that, up to similarity, the number of planar diagrams of these…
We show that the class of Contact join-semilattices, as introduced by T. Ivanova, is not finitely axiomatizable. On the other hand, a simple finite axiomatization exists for the class of those join semilattices with a weak contact relation…
All known structural extensions of the substructural logic $\mathsf{FL_e}$, Full Lambek calculus with exchange/commutativity, (corresponding to subvarieties of commutative residuated lattices axiomatized by $\{\vee, \cdot, 1\}$-equations)…
The sets of all neutral, distributive and lower-modular elements of the lattice of semigroup varieties are finite, countably infinite and uncountably infinite, respectively. In 2018, we established that there are precisely three neutral…
In continuous first-order logic, the union of definable sets is definable but generally the intersection is not. This means that in any continuous theory, the collection of $\varnothing$-definable sets in one variable forms a…
Let (L_i : i\in I) be a family of lattices in a nontrivial lattice variety V, and let \phi_i: L_i --> M, for i\in I, be isotone maps (not assumed to be lattice homomorphisms) to a common lattice M (not assumed to lie in V). We show that the…
In this paper, the class of quasicomplemented residuated lattices is introduced and investigated, as a subclass of residuated lattices in which any prime filter not containing any dense element is a minimal prime filter. The notion of…
The concept of a sectionally pseudocomplemented lattice was introduced by I. Chajda as an extension of relative pseudocomplementation for not necessarily distributive lattices. The typical example of such a lattice is the non-modular…
We consider the problem of interpolating functions partially defined over a distributive lattice, by means of lattice polynomial functions. Goodstein's theorem solves a particular instance of this interpolation problem on a distributive…
Let L_1 and L_2 be complete atomistic lattices. In a previous paper, we have defined a set S=S(L_1,L_2) of complete atomistic lattices, the elements of which are called weak tensor products of L_1 and L_2. S is defined by means of three…
Hemi-implicative semilattices (lattices), originally defined under the name of weak implicative semilattices (lattices), were introduced by the second author of the present paper. A hemi-implicative semilattice is an algebra…
For two subsets S and T of a given lattice L, we define a relative distributive (modular) property over L, that underlies a large family including the usual class of distributive (modular) lattices. Our proposed class will be called…
