Representation of certain classes of distributive lattices by sections of sheaves
Epstein and Horn ([6]) proved that a Post algebra is always a P-algebra and in a P-algebra, prime ideals lie in disjoint maximal chains. In this paper it is shown that a P-algebra L is a Post algebra of order n≥2, if the prime ideals of L lie in disjoint maximal chains each with n−1 elements. The ma...

| Summary: | Epstein and Horn ([6]) proved that a Post algebra is always a P-algebra and in a P-algebra, prime ideals lie in disjoint maximal chains. In this paper it is shown that a P-algebra L is a Post algebra of order n≥2, if the prime ideals of L lie in disjoint maximal chains each with n−1 elements. The main tool used in this paper is that every bounded distributive lattice is isomorphic with the lattice of all global sections of a sheaf of bounded distributive lattices over a Boolean space. Also some properties of P-algebras are characterized in terms of the stalks. |
