Abstract
In [8], Vogt used so-called bialgebraic contexts to represent the lattice Sub(L) of all sublattices of a finite distributive lattice L as the substructure lattice of an appropriately defined finite (universal) algebra, based on Rival’s description (see [4] and [5]) by means of deleting suitable intervals from L. We show how to extend Vogt’s context in order to obtain a conceptually simpler description of Sub 01(L) – the lattice of all 0-1-preserving sublattices of L – by means of quasiorders and an associated total binary operation on J (L)2, the set of all pairs of non-zero join-irreducibles of L. Our approach is based on Birkhoff- resp. Priestley-duality, a standard reference is [1].
