Subdirect decomposition of algebra is one of its quite general and important constructions. In this paper, some subdirect decompositions (including subdirect irreducible decompositions) of finite distributive lattices and finite chains are studied, and some general results are obtained.

AbstractThe paper presents a method of composing finite distributive lattices from smaller pieces and applies this to construct the finitely generated free distributive lattices from appropriate Boolean parts.

AbstractLet K and L be lattices, and let ϕ be a homomorphism of K into L.Then ϕ induces a natural 0-preserving join-homomorphism of Con K into Con L.Extending a result of Huhn, the authors proved that if D and E are finite distributive lattices and ψ is a 0-preserving join-homomorphism from D into E, then D and E can be represented as the congruence lattices of the finite lattices K and L, respectively, such that ψ is the natural 0-preserving join-homomorphism induced by a suitable homomorphism ϕ: K → L. Let m and n denote the number of join-irreducible elements of D and E, respectively, and let k = max (m, n). The lattice L constructed was of size O(22(n+m)) and of breadth n+m.We prove that K and L can be constructed as ‘small’ lattices of size O(k5) and of breadth three.

Among the many papers on the subject of lattices I have not seen any simple discussion of the congruences on a distributive lattice. It is the purpose of this note to give such a discussion for lattices with a certain finiteness. Any distributive lattice is isomorphic with a ring of sets (G. Birkhoff, Lattice Theory, revised edition, 1948, p. 140, corollary to Theorem 6); I take the case where the sets are finite. All finite distributive lattices are covered by this case.

In this note we examine the relationship of a distributive lattice to its lattice of ideals. Our main result is that a distributive lattice and its lattice of ideals share exactly the same collection of finite sublattices. In addition we give a related result characterizing those finite distributive lattices L which can be embedded in a lattice L′ whenever they can be embedded in its lattice of ideals T(L′).
