Multivariate copulas, quasi-copulas and lattices

We investigate some properties of the partially ordered sets of multivariate copulas and quasi-copulas. Whereas the set of bivariate quasi-copulas is a complete lattice, which is order-isomorphic to the Dedekind-MacNeille completion of the set of bivariate copulas, we show that this is not the case in higher dimensions.
