Let $\mathfrak{A}$ and $\mathfrak{Z}\subseteq\mathfrak{A}$ be two complete lattices (with $\bigcup$ and $\bigcap$ supremum and infimum), order on which agrees.
I will denote $\operatorname{up} a = \{ x\in\mathfrak{Z} \mid x\geq a \}$ for every $a\in\mathfrak{A}$.
Let the filtrator $(\mathfrak{A},\mathfrak{Z})$ be filtered, that is the following two equivalent (see my free book) conditions hold:
- $\forall a,b\in\mathfrak{A}: (\operatorname{up}a \supseteq \operatorname{up}b \Rightarrow a\leq b)$;
- $a = \bigcap^{\mathfrak{A}}\operatorname{up}a$ for every $a\in\mathfrak{A}$.
Let also $\mathfrak{Z}$ be a closed (as a subposet of $\mathfrak{A}$) regarding any supremums.
Conjecture $\operatorname{up} (f \cap^{\mathfrak{A}} g) \subseteq \left\{ F \cap^{\mathfrak{Z}} G \mid F \in \operatorname{up} f, G \in \operatorname{up} g \right\}$ for every $f,g\in\mathfrak{A}$.
This conjecture is known to be true (see my free book) for the special case when $\mathfrak{A}$ is the poset of all filters on a set (ordered reverse set-theoretic inclusion) and $\mathfrak{Z}$ is its subset of principal filters. (Moreover for filters $\subseteq$ becomes equality.)
It (possibly) should also hold:
$$\operatorname{up} (f_0 \cap^{\mathfrak{A}}\dots\cap^{\mathfrak{A}} f_n) \subseteq \left\{ F_0 \cap^{\mathfrak{Z}}\dots\cap^{\mathfrak{Z}} F_n \mid F_0 \in \operatorname{up} f_0, \dots, F_n \in \operatorname{up} f_n \right\}.$$
The above conjecture was formulated in attempt to solve these questions.
