Abstract

Certain ring-like structures, so-called orthorings, are introduced which are in a natural one-to-one correspondence with lattices with 0 every principal ideal of which is an ortholattice. This correspondence generalizes the well-known bijection between Boolean rings and Boolean algebras. It turns out that orthorings have nice congruence and ideal properties.

Keywords: ortholattice, generalized ortholattice, sectionally complemented lattice, orthoring, arithmetical variety, weakly regular variety, congruence kernel, ideal term, basis of ideal terms, subtractive term.
