Compactness properties for complete lattices #
For complete lattices, there are numerous equivalent ways to express the fact that the relation >
is well-founded. In this file we define three especially-useful characterisations and provide
proofs that they are indeed equivalent to well-foundedness.
Main definitions #
CompleteLattice.IsSupClosedCompactCompleteLattice.IsSupFiniteCompactCompleteLattice.IsCompactElementIsCompactlyGenerated
Main results #
The main result is that the following four conditions are equivalent for a complete lattice:
well_founded (>)CompleteLattice.IsSupClosedCompactCompleteLattice.IsSupFiniteCompact∀ k, CompleteLattice.IsCompactElement k
This is demonstrated by means of the following four lemmas:
CompleteLattice.WellFounded.isSupFiniteCompactCompleteLattice.IsSupFiniteCompact.isSupClosedCompactCompleteLattice.IsSupClosedCompact.wellFoundedCompleteLattice.isSupFiniteCompact_iff_all_elements_compact
We also show well-founded lattices are compactly generated
(CompleteLattice.isCompactlyGenerated_of_wellFounded).

A compactness property for a complete lattice is that any sup-closed non-empty subset
contains its sSup.
Equations
Instances For
A compactness property for a complete lattice is that any subset has a finite subset with the
same sSup.
Equations
Instances For
An element k of a complete lattice is said to be compact if any set with sSup
above k has a finite subset with sSup above k. Such an element is also called
"finite" or "S-compact".
Equations
Instances For
An element k is compact if and only if any directed set with sSup above
k already got above k at some point in the set.
A compact element k has the property that any directed set lying strictly below k has
its sSup strictly below k.

A complete lattice is said to be compactly generated if any
element is the sSup of compact elements.
- exists_sSup_eq : ∀ (x : α), ∃ (s : Set α), (∀ x ∈ s, CompleteLattice.IsCompactElement x) ∧ sSup s = x
In a compactly generated complete lattice, every element is the
sSupof some set of compact elements.
Instances
In a compactly generated complete lattice,
every element is the sSup of some set of compact elements.
This property is sometimes referred to as α being upper continuous.
This property is sometimes referred to as α being upper continuous.
This property is equivalent to α being upper continuous.
A compact element k has the property that any b < k lies below a "maximal element below
k", which is to say [⊥, k] is coatomic.

Now we will prove that a compactly generated modular atomistic lattice is a complemented lattice. Most explicitly, every element is the complement of a supremum of indepedendent atoms.
In an atomic lattice, every element b has a complement of the form sSup s, where each
element of s is an atom. See also complementedLattice_of_sSup_atoms_eq_top.
