Extract
A largely untouched problem in the theory of inverse semigroups has been that of finding to what extent an inverse semigroup is determined by its lattice of inverse subsemigroups. In this paper we discover various properties preserved by lattice isomorphisms, and use these results to show that a free inverse semigroup ℱℐx is determined by its lattice of inverse subsemigroups, in the strong sense that every lattice isomorphism of ℱℐx upon an inverse semigroup T is induced by a unique isomorphism of ℱℐx upon T. (A similar result for free groups was proved by Sadovski (12) in 1941. An account of this may be found in Suzuki's monograph on the subject of subgroup lattices (14)).
