Large intervals in the clone lattice

From MaRDI portal

Abstract: We give three examples of large intervals in the lattice of (local) clones on an infinite set X, by exhibiting clones C_1, C_2, C_3 such that: (1) the interval [C_1, O] in the lattice of local clones is (as a lattice) isomorphic to {0,1,2, ...} under the divisibility relation, (2) the interval [C_2, O] in the lattice of local clones is isomorphic to the congruence lattice of an arbitrary semilattice, (3) the interval [C_3, O] in the lattice of all clones is isomorphic to the lattice of all filters on X. These examples explain the difficulty of obtaining a satisfactory analysis of the clone lattice on infinite sets. In particular, (1) shows that the lattice of local clones is not dually atomic.
