Topic: meet-irreducible element


Andrew Yang (Aug 17 2022 at 02:09):

Do we have results about meet-irreducible elements in a (semi)lattice?
In particular that there is a decomposition M=p1pnM = p_1 \wedge \dots \wedge p_n into irreducibles when \ge is well-founded.

I have their definition and some stuff to do with docs#concept.

Andrew Yang (Aug 17 2022 at 07:54):

Great! Will it get PR'ed into mathlib in the near future?

Yaël Dillies (Aug 17 2022 at 07:59):

Let me dig that. I should have time today.

@Andrew Yang. Here's a very late update: I've just finished proving Birkhoff's representation theorem (as an order isomorphism, not yet as the equivalence of categories), and your decomposition is exists_sup_irred_decomposition on branch#stone_duality.
