For a completely regular Hausdorff topological space X, let Z(X) denote the lattice of zero-sets of X. If T is a continuous map from X to Y, then there is a lattice homomorphism T” from Z(Y) to Z(X) induced by T which is defined by τ‘(A) = τ←(A). A characterization is given of those lattice homomorphisms from Z(Y) to Z(X) which are induced in the above way by a continuous function from X to Y.
