Stone algebra
In mathematics, a Stone algebra or Stone lattice is a pseudocomplemented distributive lattice L in which any of the following equivalent statements hold for all
- ;
- ;
- .
The set is called the skeleton of L. Then L is a Stone algebra if and only if its skeleton S is a sublattice of L.
Boolean algebras are Stone algebras, and Stone algebras are Ockham algebras.
Examples
- The open-set lattice of an extremally disconnected space is a Stone algebra.
- The lattice of positive divisors of a given positive integer is a Stone lattice.
