Let L be a semilattice and let aL. We refer the reader to Definitions 2.2, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.12 below for the terminology. If L is a-implicative, let Ca be the set of a-closed elements of L, and let Da be the filter of a-dense elements of L. Then Ca is a Boolean algebra. If a = 0, then C0 and D0 are the usual closed algebra and dense filter of L. If L is a-admissible and f : Ca × DaDa is the corresponding admissible map, we can form a quotient semilattice Ca × D0f. In case a = 0, Murty and Rao [4] have shown that C0 × D0/f is isomorphic to L, and hence that C0 × D0 is 0-admissible. In case L is in fact implicative, Nemitz [5] has shown that C0 × D0/f is isomorphic to L, and that C0 × D0/f is also implicative.
