The categories of lattice-valued maps, Equalities, Free objects, and $mathcal C$-reticulation

Abstract

In this paper, we study the concept of $mathcal C$-reticulation for the category $mathcal C$ whose objects are lattice-valued maps. The relation between the free objects in $mathcal C$ and the $mathcal C$-reticulation of rings and modules is discussed. Also, a method to construct $mathcal C$-reticulation is presented, in the case where $mathcal C$ is equational. Some relations between the concepts reticulation and satisfying equalities and inequalities are studied.
