Let
be a lattice (or a bounded lattice or a complemented lattice, etc.), and let
be the covering relation of
:
Then
is locally realized provided that for every finite subset
of
, there is a finitely generated sublattice
of
, that contains
, for which
. It can be shown that
is locally realized if and only if there is a hyperfinitely
generated sublattice
of
such that
. Using this characterization
of locally realized covering relations, the following standard result can be proved
using nonstandard methods:
Let
be a locally finite lattice in which the covering relation is locally realized, and
let
be the sublattice of
which is generated by
. Then
is a connected tolerance of
, and it is in fact the smallest locally subconnected (and
locally connected) tolerance of
.
