Abstract:

For a complete lattice C, we consider the problem of determining when the complete lattice of complete congruence relations on C is a complete sublattice of the complete lattices of join or meet complete congruence relations on C. We first argue that this problem is not trivial, and then we show that it admits an affirmative answer whenever C is continuous for the join case and, dually, co-continuous for the meet case. As a consequence, we prove that if C is continuous then each principal filter generated by a continuous complete congruence on C is pseudocomplemented.
