Maximal Sublattices of Nite Distributive Lattices

Algebraic properties of lattices of quotients of nite posets are considered. Using the known duality between the category of all nite posets together with all order-preserving maps and the category of all nite distributive (0; 1)-lattices together with all (0; 1)-lattice ho-momorphisms, algebraic and arithmetic properties of maximal proper sublattices and, in particular, Frattini sublattices of nite distributive (0; 1)-lattices are thereby obtained.
