Abstract

Recently, Grätzer, Gunderson and Quackenbush have characterized the spectra of finite pseudocomplemented lattices, solving a problem raised by G. Grätzer in his first monograph on lattice theory from 1971. In this note we discuss the tight connection between the spectra and the Glivenko congruence of finite pseudocomplemented lattices.
