Let $A$ be a basic finite-dimensional algebra and denote by $\operatorname{tors} A$ the collection of all all torsion classes of $A$. It has been proved in \cite{Demonet} that $\operatorname{tors} A$ is always a completely semidistributive…
We present a novel approach to the construction of new finite algebras and describe the congruence lattices of these algebras. Given a finite algebra $(B_0, \dots)$, let $B_1, B_2, \dots, B_K$ be sets that either intersect $B_0$ or…
We prove that a tolerance relation of a lattice is a homomorphic image of a congruence relation.
In this paper we study structural properties of residuated lattices that are idempotent as monoids. We provide descriptions of the totally ordered members of this class and obtain counting theorems for the number of finite algebras in…
Let $\lambda$ and $\kappa$ be cardinal numbers such that $\kappa$ is infinite and either $2\leq \lambda\leq \kappa$, or $\lambda=2^\kappa$. We prove that there exists a lattice $L$ with exactly $\lambda$ many congruences, $2^\kappa$ many…
A new result of G. Cz\'edli states that for an ordered set $P$ with at least two elements and a group $G$, there exists a bounded lattice $L$ such that the ordered set of principal congruences of $L$ is isomorphic to $P$ and the…
Patch lattices, introduced by G. Cz\'edli and E.T. Schmidt in 2013, are the building stones for slim (and so necessarily finite and planar) semimodular lattices with respect to gluing. Slim semimodular lattices were introduced by G.…
We consider the problem of covering $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with a finite number of sublattices of finite index, satisfying a simple minimality or non-degeneracy condition. We show how this problem may be viewed as a projective (or homogeneous)…
For a partial lattice L the so-called two-point extension is defined in order to extend L to a lattice. We are motivated by the fact that the one-point extension broadly used for partial algebras does not work in this case, i.e. the…
A resolution of the intersection of a finite number of subgroups of an abelian group by means of their sums is constructed, provided the lattice generated by these subgroups is distributive. This is used for detecting singularities of…
Let $L$ be an $n$-element finite lattice. We prove that if $L$ has strictly more than $2^{n-5}$ congruences, then $L$ is planar. This result is sharp, since for each natural number $n\geq 8$, there exists a non-planar lattice with exactly…
For a slim, planar, semimodular lattice $L$ and covering square~$S$, G.~Cz\'edli and E.\,T.~Schmidt introduced the fork extension, $L[S]$, which is also a slim, planar, semimodular lattice. We investigate when a congruence of $L$ extends to…
We show that for a large class of varieties of algebras, the equational theory of the congruence lattices of the members is not finitely based.
A recent result of G. Cz\'edli relates the ordered set of principal congruences of a bounded lattice $L$ with the ordered set of principal congruences of a~bounded sublattice $K$ of $L$. In this note, I sketch a new proof.
For a finite lattice L, the congruence lattice Con L of L can be easily computed from the partially ordered set J(L) of join-irreducible elements of L and the join-dependency relation D\_L on J(L). We establish a similar version of this…
We outline the theory of sets with distributive operations: multishelves and multispindles, with examples provided by semi-lattices, lattices and skew lattices. For every such a structure we define multi-term distributive homology and show…
One of the longstanding problems in universal algebra is the question of which finite lattices are isomorphic to the congruence lattices of finite algebras. This question can be phrased as which finite lattices can be represented as…
We review recent results on congruence lattices of (infinite) lattices. We discuss results obtained with box products, as well as categorical, ring-theoretical, and topological results.
The superamalgamation property is a strong form of the amalgamation property which applies to ordered structures; it has found many applications in algebraic logic. We show that superamalgamation has some interest also from the pure…
In this paper, a question due to Heckenberger, Shareshian and Welker on racks in [7] is positively answered. A rack is a set together with a selfdistributive bijective binary operation. We show that the lattice of subracks of every finite…
