... lemma, it is straightforward to see that these two assignments are inverse to each other. Checking that fT is join preserving and satisfies f 2 = f ≤ idD is also straightforward. Finally, it is clear that fT ≤ fS if and only if T ⊆ S. Theorem 3.5. Let D be a finite distributive lattice and X = (J(D) ...

... (a) over Z3 . Over Z3 , we see that f (0) = 0, f (1) = 0, f (2) = 0, so we see that f (x) factorises as f (x) = x2 (x − 1)(x − 2). (b) over Z6 . Over Z6 , we see that f (0) = 3, f (1) = 0, f (2) = 3, f (3) = 0, f (4) = 3, and f (5) = 0, so we deduce that f (x) = (x − 1)(x − 5)(x − 3)2 . (c) over Z. ...

... and 40, it must contain 40 − 30 − 10. Since H is now known to contain 12 and 10, H must also contain 2, so it must contain < 2 >= {0, ±2, ±4, ±6, . . .}, the set of all even integers. If H were to contain anything else, then this quantity would be odd, and the difference between it and the next smal ...

... But both of these factorizations are living in L[x], since both K1 , K2 are subfields of L. Then, by unique factorization into irreducibles in L[x], we must have these as the same factorization, j so K1 = K2 . (Another, equivalent way to see this: count roots of xq − x in L. It has at most q j roots ...

Birkhoff's representation theorem



This is about lattice theory. For other similarly named results, see Birkhoff's theorem (disambiguation).In mathematics, Birkhoff's representation theorem for distributive lattices states that the elements of any finite distributive lattice can be represented as finite sets, in such a way that the lattice operations correspond to unions and intersections of sets. The theorem can be interpreted as providing a one-to-one correspondence between distributive lattices and partial orders, between quasi-ordinal knowledge spaces and preorders, or between finite topological spaces and preorders. It is named after Garrett Birkhoff, who published a proof of it in 1937.The name “Birkhoff's representation theorem” has also been applied to two other results of Birkhoff, one from 1935 on the representation of Boolean algebras as families of sets closed under union, intersection, and complement (so-called fields of sets, closely related to the rings of sets used by Birkhoff to represent distributive lattices), and Birkhoff's HSP theorem representing algebras as products of irreducible algebras. Birkhoff's representation theorem has also been called the fundamental theorem for finite distributive lattices.
