Let U be an arbitrary set, and P(U) the power set of U. For X a subset of P(U), the dual X∨ of X is the set {y⊆U:(∀x∈X)(y∩x=∅)}.
(i) Show that X⊆Y→Y∨⊆X∨.
Show that for {Xi:i∈I} a family of subsets of P(U)
(⋃{Xi:i∈I})∨=⋂{Xi∨:i∈I}
(ii) Consider S={X⊆P(U):X⊆X∨}. Show that S, ⊆ is a chain-complete poset.
State Zorn's lemma and use it to deduce that there exists X with X=X∨.
Show that if X=X∨ then the following hold:
X is closed under superset; for all U′⊆U,X contains either U′ or U\U′.
