Uniform labelled semilattices

Abstract

AbstractLet P be a partially-ordered set in which every two elements have a common lower bound. It is proved that there exists a lower semilattice L whose elements are labelled with elements of P in such a way that (i) comparable elements of L are labelled with elements of P in the same strict order relation; (ii) each element of P is used as a label and every two comparable elements of P are labels of comparable elements of L; (iii) for any two elements of L with the same label, there is a label-preserving isomorphism between the corresponding principal ideals. Such a structure is called a full, uniform P-labelled semilattice.
