Abstract

In this paper congruences on orthomodular lattices are studied with particular regard to analogies in Boolean algebras. For this reason the lattice of p-ideals (corresponding to the congruence lattice) and the interplay between congruence classes is investigated. From the results adduced there, congruence regularity, uniformity and permutability for orthomodular lattices can be derived easily.

Keywords
