Projective and injective distributive lattices

Raymond Balbes

Vol. 21 (1967), No. 3, 405–420
Abstract

This paper is concerned with the properties of projective and injective distributive lattices.

By considering the minimal Boolean extension of a distributive lattice L, the question of the injectivity of L is transferred to the category of Boolean algebras, where a characterization is known. The result is that L is injectivein the category of distributive lattices-if and only if it is a complete Boolean algebra.
