PART I. TH E REPRESENTATION TH EO R EM FOR LATTICES O F LOGICS
F o r every consequence (closure operator) Cn on a set S the family '4 o f all Cn-closed
sets, partially ordered by set inclusion, forms a complete lattice (%>, ę ) . Such a lattice
will be called a lattice o f logics. Lattices like this will be investigated in this paper. If some
assumptions are satisfied, then this lattice is distributive and even implicative.
The m ost im portant result o f this part is the topological representation theorem for
lattices o f logics. The problem o f distributivity o f a lattice (% , s ) , some properties of
bases of # , dual spaces and sets irreducible in
are also studied.
If a lattice
is distributive, then, since it has the zero element C n (0 ) and the
unit element S, it can be conceived as a pseudo-Boolean algebra
v , a
—)
in the sense of Rasiowa and Sikorski [6]. In this case one may try to establish the content
o f lattice o f logics, i.e. the set £(%'’) of all propositional formulas which have the value S
(unit) for every homomorphism o f algebra o f propositional language (built by means
o f connectives
~ ) into the pseudo-Boolean algebra ( # , v , a
,
—). The
representation theorem presented here serves to establish £ (^ ) , for some # , which will
be published in the second p art of this paper.
This paper is a slightly modified version o f a chapter from the author’s doctoral
dissertation under the supervision o f Professor W. A. Pogorzelski, to whom I am indebted.
1. Consequences and closure systems
Let S’ be a non-empty set. A mapping C n : 2s -*• 2s will be called a consequence or
closure operator on S, if for all X , Y ^ S

(cf. e.g. [2]).
A consequence Cn is said to be finitistic (or algebraic) if for each A 'ę S :
(3)
Cn(Af) = U ( C n ( r ) : Y ^ X , Y- finite} .
A family # o f subsets of a non-empty set S is said to be a closure system on S if #

Clearly, S e (
Theorem 1 (E. H. M oore, cf. [2]).
a) Every consequence Cn on S defines the closure system on S :
(4)
V Cn = { X ^ S - . C n ( X ) = X} .
b) Every closure system ^ on S defines the consequence on S:
(5)
Cn«(X) = 0 { Z e < g : X ^ Z } ,
f or X<=S.
The m apping Cn -> <
i Cn is a one-to-one correspondence between consequences and
closure systems on the same set S. M oreover,
=
and Cn¥cn = Cn.
The closure system <gCn will be investigated in this paper. Since there exists a bijective
correspondence between consequences on S and closure systems on S given by (4) and (5),
we shall use them interchangeably. Besides, in most cases we leave out the subscripts
in <€Cn and C n,;. Hence, we will write
(6 d, %>k for a closure systems given by consequences
Cn, Cnd, Cnt , respectively. In the sequel closure systems and consequences will be con
sidered on the same arbitrary, non-empty set S.
Theorem 2 (Birkhoff [1], Tarski [7], cf. [2]). Every closure system
on S constitutes
a complete lattice under set inclusion, ( f €, ę ), where join and meet is defined as follows,

This lattice always contains the zero element 0 = C n (0 ) =

Let us observe, th at a lattice of logics ('tf, ę > can also be conceived as an algebra

Let ^ be a closure system of a consequence Cn on S. Let
L ^ C n , X ) = {Ye<&: C n W s Y, Y t Y and V e C n (K u { ¢ )), for all ¢ ^ } .
It is so called the family of W-relative Lindenbaum extensions. The family o f all relative
Lindenbaum extensions, L,(Cn), is defined as follows:

C n ( 0 ) £ y and ¥ e C n( Y u {¢)), if 4>$Y. It follows that Y e L v ( C n ,0 ) . q.e.d.
By means o f Theorem 4 one may show that S Cpi(#) = ®0(^ ) is not generally true.
The natural question arise: when S 0(# ) / ©iC^) ?
The family o f sets 9i is called downward directed if for every X , Y e 91 there exists
Z e 5R such that Z ^ X n Y.

downward directed and L $ 5R / 0 , then L e S 1(c^’)\© 0(<^’).

Proof. It suffices to show that f)

Assume that f)

Z = ( X a Y ) v Z = ( X v Z ) a ( Y v Z) . Since Z e i B , ^ ) , then: (*) J f ę Z or Y ^ Z for
every Z e 9 ł . Suppose now, that X # f) 9ł # Y, i.e. there are Z , , Z 2 e SR such that
<Pe X\ Z L and W e Y \ Z 2, for some ¢ , ¥ e S. But the family 91 is downward directed;
so there exists T e 5R such that T ę Z , n Z 2 and ¢ , ^ ¢ 7 . Thus X £ T and Y £ T for
r e i R , which contradicts (*). q.e.d.
Let
The set L l e ^ is called a proper extension o f L if L, □ ! .
Theorem 6. I f L e S 1(<^’)\© 0(<^’), then L has no minimal proper extension in <€.
Proof. Let ££©(,("<?). It is easy to check that: (*) L = f) {Z e L c Z } . Now,
assume that X=>L. Then there exists Z € # such that Z=>L and A '£Z . Otherwise, by
means o f (*) we would get Z. = f] {Z e

impossible. Thus, we have X n Z<^X. Moreover, L<=X n Z, since L = X n Z together
with L e © X #) implies L = X or L = Z , which is impossible. Therefore, we have shown
th at for every X tdL there is Z e'g' such that Lc= X n Z<= X, which means that L has
no minimal proper extension, q.e.d.
R e m a rk . It is an immediate consequence of the theorem above that S4 propositional
modal logic o f Lewis has no minimal proper extension (closed under modus ponens,
substitution and necessitation) which was proved in a separate paper by G. E. Hughes,
cf. [4]. Since S4 is Hallden-complete, S4 £ © [(# ). Moreover, S4 has the finite model
property, but has no finite adequate model, hence S4 $ S e(#).
A non-empty family © £ # is a basis o f a closure system ^ if W = { f) !2:

ii) I f fo r all Z e 93: K ę Z => A 'sZ , then X ^ Y , where X , Y e ^ .
iii) I f *¥ $ Y , then there is Z e ® such that Y ^ Z and V $ Z .
An easy proof is omitted. Every closure system has a basis, e.g. (or ^ { S 1}) is a basis
o f <6. We are interested in finding the smallest basis o f a given closure system <€. The
following corollary will be useful.

The following theorem, connected with the name o f A. Lindenbaum, is well known.
Theorem 10 (cf. [1], [2]). I f Cn is a finitistic consequence and V $ X, then Lv (C n, X ) =£ 0 .
Hence, i f Cn is finitistic, then © 0(^ ) is a basis o f V>. In fact, it is the smallest basis o f (€.

Let S be the smallest

b) Z = Y, i.e. X ę Y and ¢ ¢ 7 . In this case, by (*), there exists Z e 5$ such that

By language (of propositional calculus) we mean an algebra <5, <5j, .. ., (5n), where <5;,
/< /;, is a finitary connective and 5 is a set o f formulas. Form ulas are formed as usual

3. Distributive law in lattice of logics
A lattice <«g\ c > is distributive if for all'A', Y, Ze<&, X a ( Y v Z ) = ( X a Y ) v ( X a Z ) ,
or
Xw (YaZ) = (Xv Y)a(XvZ);
in the
other
words
C n A 'n C n ( K u Z )
= C n ( X n ( Y kj Z)), or C n ( A 'u ( K n Z ) ) = C n (;r u X ) n C n ( r u Z ) .
R e m a rk . We write (A, a) and C n(a) instead o f (A u {a}) and Cn({a}).
Theorem 17 (cf. [3]). Let <6 be a closure system which has a basis
following conditions are equivalent:
(1) ( # , £ > is a distributive lattice,
(2) C n (A , a) n C n (A , P) ę C n (A u (Cn(a) n C n (/?))), fo r A ^ S , a , /? e S,
(3) C n(a) n Cn(/?) ę Z => a e Z or P e Z , fo r every Z e ©, a , P e S,
(4) X n r s Z => X g Z or Y ę Z , fo r every Z e S , X , Y e <#.
Then the
Proof. Clearly, (1)=^(2). Now, assume (2), and suppose that (3) does not hold,
i.e. C n(a) n C n (j5 )s Z a n d a, P $ Z , for s o m e Z e ©, a , /? e S. Then, by (2), Z £ C n ( Z , a) n
n C n ( Z ,/? )ę C n (Z u (Cn(a) n Cn (/?))) = Z. Contradiction. It is quite easy to check
that (3) implies (4). Finally, we assume (4). Since (A 'a Y ) v ( X a T ) ^ X a ( Y v T ) holds
in every lattice, so, in view of Lemma 8 ii), it suffices to show th at for every Z e S , if
( X a Y ) v ( X a T ) £ Z then X a ( Y v T ) s Z , where X, Y, Te<£. B u tif ( ^ A Y ) v ( X a T ) < = Z ,
for Z e ©, then X n K g Z and X n T ę Z . Hence, by (4), ( X ^ Z or Y ^ Z ) and ( X ^ Z
or J ę Z ) . Consequently, X z Z o r ( J ' u 7 ’) s Z , thus, X a ( Y v T ) = X n C n ( Y u T ) ^ Z .
Hence (1) is proved, q.e.d.
R e m a rk . In particular, the theorem above holds for every closure system of finitistic
consequence (cf. Theorem 10).

Let us turn to the implicative lattices and pseudo-Boolean algebras. Let ( K ,

a lattice, X , Y e K. An element Z e K is called the pseudo-complement o f X relative to Y,
if Z is the greatest element such that X a Z < Y. If it exists, it is denoted by the symbol
X -± Y.
If, for every X , Y e K ,
Y exists, then ( K , < ) is called an implicative lattice
(relatively pseudo-complemented lattice in [6]). Following Rasiowa and Sikorski [6],
every implicative lattice (K , < ) with the zero element 0, is called the pseudo-Boolean
algebra. Hence, every pseudo-Boolean algebra can be conceived as { K , v , a ,
, —),
where — X = X-> 0. Recall, that in every lattice ( * ? , £ ) there is the zero element, namely
0 = C n (0 ) = f ) V .

By £(¾1) we denote the set of all propositional formulas (constructed by means of

i.e. a e £ ( # ) iff h(x) = S, for every hom om orphism h of algebra of propositional language

4. Dual spaces and the representation theorem
If S' is a non-empty set, Cn a consequence (closure operator) on S and # a closure
system on S, then the pairs <S , C n) and (S ’, # ) are called closure spaces. Because of the
one-to-one correspondence between consequences and closure systems we may identify
( S , C n) and <S, # ) as the same closure space, where
= &Ca or Cn = Cn^.
In the paper [2] o f D. J. Brown and R. Suszko the notions of Galois connections
and a dual space for a given closure space are presented (after O. Ore and C. J. Everett).
F or our purpose only the case of, so called, © -natural dual spaces ([2], p. 17) will be used.
These spaces will be called in this paper © -dual spaces.
Let © be a basis o f a closure system <6. The closure space (© , Cnd) will be called
TB-dual space fo r the space ( S , C n) if Cnrf is an operator Cnd: 2® -* 2®, defined as follows
Cn\ U ) = { Z e © : f | t f s Z } ,
for i / s ©
Clearly, Cnd satisfies the conditions (1)-(3), hence it is a consequence (closure operator)
on ©. Observe, th at CnJ(0 ) = 0 , if S $ ©. Let <gd be the closure system o f Cnd, i.e. <6*
= { { /£ © : Cnd(U) = U). In view o f Theorem 1, (f€d, £ > is a complete lattice.
Lemma 23. I f © is a basis o f <6, then in © -dual space ( S , ^ ) , fo r every F e © , we
have'. F e ^ d iff F = { Z e © : X ^ . Z } fo r some Xe<€.
Since Fe%>d iff F = { Z e © : f) F ^ Z ) , the p roof o f the lemma above is immediate.
A closure operator (consequence) Cn on a set X is called topological, if Cn (0 ) = 0
and Cn(i4 u B) = C n (Ą u C n(fl), for A , B ^ X . Then Cn satisfies well known four
conditions of topological closure (due to K. Kuratowski). A closure system c6 on a set X
is topological, i f 0 e
and A u B e W for A , B e W . In both cases m entioned above
( X , C n) and (A', # ) will be called topological spaces.
A lattice ( K , < ) will be called a lattice o f sets, if K ^ 2 X, for a set X, < is E ,
join and meet is set-theoretical union u and intersection n , respectively, and the empty
set 0 is the zero element of
< ).
Theorem 24. Assume, that a closure system <€ has a basis © s © / # ) . Then the following
conditions are equivalent:
i) (%>, £ ) is a distributive lattice,
ii) © -dual space ( S , C n d) is a topological space,
iii) < ? , £ ) is a lattice o f sets.
F o r the p ro o f we need the following theorem.
Theorem 25 (Brown, Suszko [2] Th. 3, p. 17). Let (© , Cnd) be the © - dual space for
the closure space (S , C n). Then
(a) Cnd(0 ) = 0 i f f S t B,
(b) C n^F , u F2) = Cni(Fi ) u Cn\ F 2), fo r F , , F2£ © , iff fo r every Z e ©, X , Y e V:
I n F s Z => I c Z or Y ę Z .
Proof of Theorem 24. i) ^»ii). Assume i). Since S’£ SjC ^), then, by Theorem 17,(4),
and Theorem 25 we easily get ii). ii)=>iii). Since <€* is a closure system, U a W = U n W,

and Cnd(0 ) = 0 , i.e. 0 e c£d. iii)=^i). Assume iii). It follows, that U v W = (J u W,
for
U, W e <gd.
Hence,
Cnd(A u B ) = Cnd(Cn“(A) u Cnd(fl)) = Cn“(A) v Cnd(B)
= Cnd(A) u Cnd(B), for
Thus, by Theorem 25, (b) and Theorem 17, (4),

R e m a r k . If Cn is a finitistic consequence, and ( # , £ > is distributive, then, by the
theorem above and Theorem 10, we have © 0(# )-d u al topological space, i.e. the smallest
S -d u a l space. If S 0(#) / © i(# ) (cf. Theorem 5), we may get, in some cases, a lot of
(infinitely many) S -d u a l topological spaces, where S 0( # ) £ © £ © ( # ) . It is easy to check
that, for © '£ © " £ © ,( # ) <©' Cnd> is a (dense) topological subspace o f <©", Cnd>.
We will use the standard topological notions o f T 0-space, 7^-space, compact space,
topological basis (of open sets) o f a topological space, dense-in-itself space etc. (cf. e.g. [6]).
Theorem 26. Let (%>, ę ) be a distributive lattice and
a closure system with a basis
5 0 ^ 8 ,(¾ 1). Then the SB-dual topological space ( S , C n d) has the following properties:
(1) ( S , C n d) is T0-space,
(2) ( S , Cnd) is a compact space iff the consequence Cn is compact (cf. Brown, Suszko [2],
Th. 5, p. 17),
(3) { { Z e S : a ^ Z } : a e 5} is a topological basis o f open sets o f the space < S , Cnd>,
(4) The following conditions are equivalent:
a) <©, Cnd> is T r space,
b) © = ©cpl(<f).
(5) I f n (S \{ Z )) = C n (0 ), fo r every Z e S , then <(©, Cnd) is dense-in-itself
Recall, that a consequence Cn on a set S is called compact, if C n (^ ) = S implies
Cn ( A0) = S, for some finite A 0 ^ A .
Proof. (1) Let Z v , Z 2 e ©, Z , * Z 2, e.g. Z , £ Z 2 . Then Z 2 i Cnd({Z,}), hence Cn'({Z,})
# Cnd({Z2}).
(3) Let U be an open set in < S , Cnd), i.e. U = S \F , for some F e md. By Lemma 23,
U = © \{ Z e S : J ę Z } , for some X e
Since X, Ze<€, we have U = S \ F

in view o f Lemma 14, we get a) o b).
It is well known th at in every topological space <X , C ), where C is a topological closure

open sets of a topological space constitutes a complete lattice <0, £ > , where arbitrary

The representation theorem.
Theorem 27. Assume, that a closure system
on a set S has a basis © S © , ^ ) and
^ ) is a distributive lattice. Then
i) The complete lattice (%?, \J , / \ ) is (completely) isomorphic to the complete lattice
( Vd, n , U ° ) ° f °Pen sets ° f topological space ( © , CnJ> © -dual fo r the closure space
( S , C n), where
0 d = {©\F: F e ^ }
ii) The pseudo-Boolean algebra ('6 , v , a ,

algebra ((9d, u , n , =>, = ) o f open subsets o f topological space (© , Cnd) ©-c/mo/ fo r the
space ( S , C n).
Proof. Define the mapping <p: # -*■ <9d as follows: qo(X) = [Z e ©: X g Z } , for X e
This m apping has the following properties:
(a) X z Y < x p ( X ) < = ( p ( Y ) , for X , Y .
If Xę, Y and Zeq>( X) , i.e. X<£Z for Z e ©, then Y £ Z , hence Z e ( p ( Y ) . Conversely,
let X £ Y Then, by Lemma 8 (ii) there exists Z e © such that X s Z and X £ Z , hence
Z e q>(X)\cp(Y), i.e.
(b) ę is “one-to-one” and “onto”
If X =£ Y, then, e.g. X £ Y, therefore, by the p ro o f o f (a), ę ( X ) £ ( p ( Y ) . Now, let U e Q*.
Hence U = © \F, for some F e % J. Thus, by Lemma 23, there exists X s ^ such that
U = © \F = © \{ Z e © : X<=Z} = <p(X).
(c) <
p (V Xd — U<p(*i)- This is very easy to check.
(d) <p(f\ X t) = n ° <P(Xi) = Intd( f) q>(Xi)), where Intd is the interior operator defined

in the

space < © ,C n d> as usually.
Since
Intd(F) = ©\Cnd(© \F ) and

then, by Lemma 11 we have

which, by the definition o f Cnd proves (d). Consequently, p art (i) of the theorem

is proved. It follows immediately from (a)-(d). th at the conditions (e)-(g) hold
(e) ę(X-^> Y) = ę ( X ) => ę ( Y ) ,
(f) < ? ( - * ) = ^ t p ( X) ,
(g) (p(S) = © , ę ( C n ( 0 ) ) = 0 . Hence, the proof of (ii) is completed, q.e.d.
