Abstract

In this paper, we introduce and investigate the meet-maximal filter graph of a bounded lattice. It is the (undirected) graph with all nontrivial filters as vertices, and two distinct vertices are adjacent if and only if their meet is a maximal filter. The basic properties and possible structures of the meet-maximal filter graph are investigated. Also, connectedness, clique number, split character, planarity and domination number of meet-maximal filter graph and their relations to algebraic properties of lattices are explored.
