An internal characterization is given of those subdirect products which are structures of global sections of discrete sheaves. Such subdirect products are called global. Patching of subdirect products over a dual ring of subsets of the index set is defined, and a uniform method …
A variety (equational class) of lattices is said to be finitely based if there exists a finite set of identities defining the variety. Let [capital script]M [infinity symbol] [over][subscript italic]n denote the lattice variety generated by all modular lattices of width not exc…
In this text, we use characters of lattices (i.e. lattice morphisms into the two-element lattice) and characters of topological spaces (i.e. continuous functions into an appropriately topologized two element space) to obtain connections and dualities between various categories o…
