Duality for Bi-Algebraic Lattices Belonging to the Variety of (0, 1)-Lattices Generated by the Pentagon
摘要
According to G. Birkhoff, there is a categorical duality between the category of bi-algebraic distributive (0, 1)-lattices with complete (0, 1)-lattice homomorphisms as morphisms and the category of partially ordered sets with partial order-preserving maps as morphisms. We extend this classical result to the bi-algebraic lattices belonging to the variety of (0, 1)-lattices generated by the pentagon, the 5-element nonmodular lattice. Applying the extended duality, we prove that the lattice of quasivarieties contained in the variety of (0, 1)-lattices generated by the pentagon has uncountably many elements and is not distributive. This yields the following: the lattice of quasivarieties contained in a nontrivial variety of (0, 1)-lattices either is a 2-element chain or has uncountably many elements and is not distributive.
