On tolerance lattices of algebras in congruence modular varieties (Q1878604)

We recall that a lattice \(L\) with \(0\) is called \(0\)-modular if there is no \(N_5\) sublattice of \(L\) including \(0\); a bounded lattice \(L\) is called \(0-1\) modular if no \(N_5\) sublattice of \(L\) includes both \(0\) and \(1\). The purpose of this paper is to extend known results on tolerance lattices of lattices to tolerance lattices of more generalized algebras. The authors prove that the tolerance lattice \(\operatorname{Tol} A\) of an algebra \(A\) from a congruence modular variety \(V\) is \(0-1\) modular and satisfies the general disjointness property (that is, if \(\alpha, \beta, \gamma \in \operatorname{Tol} A\), \(\alpha\wedge\beta = (\alpha \vee \beta)\wedge \gamma = 0\) imply \(\alpha\wedge (\beta\vee \gamma) = 0\)). If \(V\) is congruence distributive, then the lattice \(\operatorname{Tol} A\) is pseudocomplemented; if \(V\) admits a majority term, then \(\operatorname{Tol} A\) is \(0\)-modular.
