FINITE SUBSTRUCTURE LATTICES OF MODELS OF PEANO ARITHMETIC JAMES H. SCHMERL (Communicated by Andreas R. Blass) Abstract. Some new finite lattices (for example, A/4 , M7, and the hexagon lattice) are shown to be isomorphic to the lattice of elementary substructures of a model of Peano Arithmetic.

The set of elementary substructures of a model JV of Peano Arithmetic forms a lattice Lt(yf), the substructure lattice of jV. It is unknown whether there are finite lattices that are not isomorphic to any substructure lattice. Indeed, it was conjectured in [8] that for any finite lattice L there is some jV 1=PA for which L = \X(JV). It was proved in [8] that if 2 < n < co, then there is JV such that Lt(^T) = n(«). (The partition lattices U(n) are defined below.) For 3 < n < co, the lattice Mn is the unique lattice that has n + 2 elements and n atoms. Thus, the lattice A/3, which is isomorphic to n(3), is isomorphic to a substructure lattice, although it is known from [2] or [4] that if yV is a model of True Arithmetic and 3 < n < co, then Lt(yT) ^ Mn . Other examples of finite lattices that are not substructure lattices of models of True Arithmetic are given in [8]. The lattices Mn for 4 < n < co and the hexagon lattice were identified in [8] as specific finite lattices that were not known to be isomorphic to substructure lattices. It is a consequence of the theorem in this note that M„ , whenever n = p" + 1 for some prime p, the hexagon lattice, and the lattice Mi are isomorphic to substructure lattices. It is still unknown whether or not Mx! is isomorphic

to a substructure lattice. All previously known positive results about finite substructure lattices are contained in [8]. Prior to [8], Paris [4] proved that all finite distributive lattices occur as substructure lattices. (Also see [7].) Wilkie [9] showed that the pentagon lattice is a substructure lattice, and Paris [5] proved that M3 is a sublattice of an infinite substructure lattice. More generally, intermediate structure lattices will be considered. For „# -
n(,4, J?~) is a lattice isomorphism. For n > 1 let a": L —>11(^4") be the representation such that for each c, d £ A" and x £ L, c« d

(mod q"(x)) «• for every i a for each a £ A. Then L and U(A, y)

are

isomorphic lattices. In fact, let a: L —► 11(A) be such that for each x £ L, a(x) is the partition whose only equivalence class that (possibly) is not a singleton is {a £ A : a> x} . Then a: L —>Y1(A, y) is a lattice isomorphism.

Let F be a finite field of order q, and let n = q + 1. Let A = F x F, and let / £ y iff there are a, b, c, d £ F such that f(x, y) = (ax + b, cy + d). Then U(A, y) 3 Mn . An observation due to Feit [ 1] implies that Mj has a finite congruence representation.

Finally, let A = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Then there is y such that n(,4, y) is isomorphic to the hexagon lattice. Specifically, n(^, y) = {(L,, 1^ , {{0},

{1,2}, {3,4}, {5,6}}, {{0, 1,2}, {3,4}, {5,6}}, {{0}, {1,3}, {4,6}, {2,5}}, {{0,4,6}, {1,3}, {2,5}}}. We now proceed with the proof of the theorem.

Lemma 1. Suppose L is a finite lattice, a: L —>11(^4) is a representation, and

2 U(A, y) is a lattice isomorphism. Without loss of generality assume that y has the identity function and all constant functions as members. Let % be the set of all functions g: A" —► A" for which there are fo, fi,..., fn-\ £ S? such that g((a0,ax, ... , a„_.)) = (/o(a0), f (a.),..., /„_i(a„_i)). We introduce the following notation to be used for the rest of this proof: for any x we denote by x the n-tuple (x, x, ... , x). Now let §?x be the set of all functions g: A" —► A" where for some i < n , g((an, ai, ... , a„_i)) = ~a[. Let ^ = £b U &\. We claim that a": L -> n(^" , ^) is a lattice isomorphism. First we show that a"(x) e n(^4" , ,f) for x £ L. Suppose g £ % , so that g((a0,ai, ... ,a„_i)) = (/o(tfo), f\(a\), ■■■, fn-\(an-\)) ■Then c w a" (mod a"(x)) => for all / < n, c,-w a", (mod a(x)) => for all i < n, f(Cj) w //(a1,) (mod a(x)) => /n-i(rfn-i)) =*>g(c) « £?(#") (mod a"(x)).

(moda"(x))

Next suppose g e ^i, so that g((ao, ax, ... , an-\)) = a7. Then c « cf (mod a"(x)) =$■Cj « a",- (mod a(x))

=>cj « a",- (mod a"(x)) =*S(c)**(• for each i < n , c, « a", (mod a(x)) => c k d (moda"(x)). To show that 7r < a"(x), consider c, d £ A" for which c « d (mod a"(x)). Let g0, Si, • • • , gn-\ € % be such that for i < n, gi((a0, a, , ... , a„_.)) =

(60, 61,... , 6„-i}, where

Let a: L —>FI(/4) and /?: L —► n(fl) be representations of L. Then a arrows ft (in symbols: a —>/?) if whenever n £ 11(A) there is an injection 6: B -+ A such that (1) whenever x £ L and a, b £ B, then

The next lemma is a consequence of the canonical partition theorem of Promel and Voigt [6]. This lemma was explicitly stated in Example 3.3 of [8] and was used there to prove the instance (see [8, Corollary 5.5]) of the theorem

when L 9£11(A).

Lemma 2. Let A be a finite set and let y: 11(A)—>11(A) be the identity representation. Then for each m > 1 there is n such that y" -» ym . The next lemma is the main ingredient in the proof of the theorem. Lemma 3. Suppose a: L -* Yl(A) is a finite congruence representation. Then there is n>\ such that a" —► a. Proof. Let a: L —>H(A) be a finite congruence representation. Let (A,&~) be a unary algebra such that a: L -+ U(A , y) is a lattice isomorphism. Without loss of generality, we assume that the identity function is in y (so y ^ 0 ) and that y is closed under composition. Let m — \Sr\ > 1 . Letting y: 11(A) —>

n(^4) be the identity function, we can get n by Lemma 2 so that y" —>ym . We claim that a" —>a. In order to prove that a" -> a, consider some n £ Y1(A"). To obtain a ft-demonstrator for a" —>a, let y = {^o, f\, ■■■, fm-1} >and let F: A —>Am be the function for which F(a) = (fo(a), f(a), ... , fm-\(a)) for each a £ A . Let 0j be a zr-demonstrator for 7" —>ym , and then let 6 = 6Xo F. We will show that 0 is a n-demonstrator for a" —>a. Conditions (1) and (2) in the definition need to be proved.

Proof of (1). Suppose c, d £ A" and x £ L. Notice that ak = yk o a for 1 < k < co. Then each of the following equivalences is clear.

6(c) x 6(d) (mod an(x))&6x(F(c))& 6x(F(d)) (mod y"(a(x))) &F(c)*F(d) (mod ym(a(x))) &F(c)*F(d) (modam(x)) •» for each i < m, f(c) « f(d) (mod a(x)) «• c « d (moda(x)). This proves (1) in the definition. Proof of (2). Suppose that n £ U(A"), and let p £ U(A) be the partition such

that a « b (mod p) & 6(a) « 6(b) (mod n) whenever a, b £ A . In order to prove (2), we need to show that p £ X1(A, S* ). To do this, consider some i < m and arbitrary a, b £ A for which a « b (mod p). Then 6(a) w 6(b) (mod n). Hence, there is px £ Y1(A, SF) such that F(a) « F(b) (mod ym(px)), so that for each k < m, /fc(a) « /*(£) (mod px). Since y is closed under composition, for each j < m , f(f(a)) «

fj(f(b)) (mod //,). It follows that F(y)(a)) « F(f(b)) (mod yw(//i)), so that 6x(F(f(a))) « 6x(F(f(b))) (mod y"(px)); consequently, 0(^(a)) « &(/■(&)) (mod n), so that yj-(a)« ^(/3) (mod //). This proves p £ U(A, SF). □ The following corollary generalizes Lemma 2. Corollary 4. Suppose a: L —>n(^) is a finite congruence representation. Then for each m > 1 f/zeve w n such that a" —► am . Proof. This follows immediately from Lemmas 1 and 3 and the observation that (a")k and ank are isomorphic representations. □

We can now conclude the following corollary, which involves a technical definition from [8]. The reader is referred to [8] for a precise statement of this definition.

Corollary 5. // L is a finite lattice that has a finite congruence representation, then for each n < co, L has an n-CPP representation. Proof. The «-CPP representation a„ of L is obtained as follows. Let a be a finite congruence representation of L. Let an = a2, which by Lemma 1 is a nontrivial finite congruence representation. Recursively obtain finite congruence representations an+x so that an+x —► an . This is possible by Lemmas 1 and 3. The representation an is an n-CPP representation of L. □ The theorem follows immediately from Corollary 5, Theorem 4.1 of [8], and

Remark 5.1 of [8].
