A simple but elegant result of Rival states that every sublattice
Applying this in the case that ℘ is a product of a finite set of chains, we get a one-to-one correspondence between the sublattices of ℘ and the preorders spanned by a canonical sublattice of ℘.
We then show that
With this we recover and extend, among other classical results, the correspondence derived from results of Birkhoff and Dilworth, between the tight embeddings of a finite distributive lattice
Keywords: finite distributive lattice, representation, embedding, product of chains.
