Abstract:
Let be a lattice with and . An endomorphism of is a -endomorphism, if it satisfies and . The -endomorphisms of form a monoid. In 1970, the authors proved that every monoid can be represented as the -endomorphism monoid of a suitable lattice with and . In this paper, we prove the stronger result that the lattice with a given -endomorphism monoid can be constructed as a uniquely complemented lattice; moreover, if is finite, then can be chosen as a finite complemented lattice.
