A Sunflower is a subset $S$ of a lattice, with the property that the meet of any two elements in $S$ coincides with the meet of all of $S$. The Sunflower Lemma of Erdös and Rado asserts that a set of size at least $1 + k!(t-1)^k$ of elements of rank $k$ in a Boolean Lattice contains a sunflower of size $t$. We develop counterparts of the Sunflower Lemma for distributive lattices, graphic matroids, and matroids representable over a fixed finite field. We also show that there is no counterpart for arbitrary matroids.

Let V be a non-trivial variety of bounded distributive lattices with a quantifier, as introduced by Cignoli in [7]. It is shown that if V does not contain the 4-element bounded Boolean lattice with a simple quantifier, then V contains non-isomorphic algebras with isomorphic endomorphism monoids, but there are always at most two such algebras. Further, it is shown that if V contains the 4-element bounded Boolean lattice with a simple quantifier, then it is finite-to-finite universal (in the categorical sense) and, as a consequence, for any monoid M, there exists a proper class of non-isomorphic algebras in V for which the endomorphism monoid of every member is isomorphic to M.

Summary. The article continues the formalization of the lattice theory (as structures with two binary operations, not in terms of ordering relations). In the Mizar Mathematical Library, there are some attempts to formalize prime ideals and filters; one series of articles written as decoding [9] proven some results; we tried however to follow [21], [12], and [13]. All three were devoted to the Stone representation theorem [18] for Boolean or Heyting lattices. The main aim of the present article was to bridge this gap between general distributive lattices and Boolean algebras, having in mind that the more general approach will eventually replace the common proof of aforementioned articles.1 Because in Boolean algebras the notions of ultrafilters, prime filters and maximal filters coincide, we decided to construct some concrete examples of ultrafilters in nontrivial Boolean lattice. We proved also the Prime Ideal Theorem not as BPI (Boolean Prime Ideal), but in the more general setting. In the final section we present Nachbin theorems [15],[1] expressed both in terms of maximal and prime filters and as the unordered spectra of a lattice [11], [10]. This shows that if the notion of maximal and prime filters coincide in the lattice, it is Boolean.

Let $K$ be any finite field. For any prime $p$, the $p$-adic valuation map is given by $\psi_{p}:K/\{0\} \to \R^+\bigcup\{0\}$ is given by $\psi_{p}(r) = n$ where $r = p^n \frac{a}{b}$, where $p,a,b$ are relatively prime. The field $K$ together with a valuation is called valued field. Also, any field $K$ has the trivial valuation determined by $\psi{(K)} = \{0,1\}$. Through out the paper K represents $\Z_q$. In this paper, we construct the graph corresponding to the valuation map called the valued field graph, denoted by $VFG_{p}(\Z_{q})$ whose vertex set is $\{v_0,v_1,v_2,\ldots, v_{q-1}\}$ where two vertices $v_i$ and $v_j$ are adjacent if $\psi_{p}(i) = j$ or $\psi_{p}(j) = i$. Here, we tried to characterize the valued field graph in $\Z_q$. Also we analyse various graph theoretical parameters such as diameter, independence number etc.
