Lattice Polarity


Let L=(L, ^ , v ) be a lattice, and let f,g:L->L. Then the pair (f,g) is a polarity of L if and only if f is a decreasing join-endomorphism and g is an increasing meet-endomorphism and for each x in L, f(g(x))<=x<=g(f(x)).

Polarities, and their related tolerances, play an important role in the study of tame congruences in finite algebras.
