Compactness properties for complete lattices #
For complete lattices, there are numerous equivalent ways to express the fact that the relation >
is well-founded. In this file we define three especially-useful characterisations and provide
proofs that they are indeed equivalent to well-foundedness.
Main definitions #
complete_lattice.is_sup_closed_compact
complete_lattice.is_Sup_finite_compact
complete_lattice.is_compact_element
complete_lattice.is_compactly_generated
Main results #
The main result is that the following four conditions are equivalent for a complete lattice:
well_founded (>)
complete_lattice.is_sup_closed_compact
complete_lattice.is_Sup_finite_compact
∀ k, complete_lattice.is_compact_element k
This is demonstrated by means of the following four lemmas:
complete_lattice.well_founded.is_Sup_finite_compact
complete_lattice.is_Sup_finite_compact.is_sup_closed_compact
complete_lattice.is_sup_closed_compact.well_founded
complete_lattice.is_Sup_finite_compact_iff_all_elements_compact
We also show well-founded lattices are compactly generated
(complete_lattice.compactly_generated_of_well_founded
).

A compactness property for a complete lattice is that any sup
-closed non-empty subset
contains its Sup
.
A compactness property for a complete lattice is that any subset has a finite subset with the
same Sup
.
An element k
of a complete lattice is said to be compact if any set with Sup
above k
has a finite subset with Sup
above k
. Such an element is also called
"finite" or "S-compact".
An element k
is compact if and only if any directed set with Sup
above
k
already got above k
at some point in the set.
A compact element k
has the property that any directed set lying strictly below k
has
its Sup strictly below k
.

This property is sometimes referred to as α
being upper continuous.
This property is equivalent to α
being upper continuous.
A compact element k
has the property that any b <
k lies below a "maximal element below
k
", which is to say [⊥, k]
is coatomic.
