On a strong property of the weak subalgebra lattice

In the present paper, we apply results from [Pió1] to prove that for an arbitrary total and locally finite unary algebra A of finite unary type K, its weak subalgebra lattice uniquely determines its strong subalgebra lattice (recall that in the case of total algebras the strong subalgebra lattice is the well-known lattice of all (total) subalgebras). More precisely, we prove that for every unary partial algebra B of the same unary type K, if weak subalgebra lattices of A and B are isomorphic (with A as above), then the strong subalgebra lattices of A and B are isomorphic, and moreover B is also total and locally finite. At the end of this paper we also show the necessity of all the three conditions for A. Received September 5, 1997; accepted in final form October 7, 1998.
