Description
Summary:Definitions for heterogeneous congruences and heterogeneous ideals on a Boolean module M are given and the respective lattices CongM and IdeM are presented. A characterization of the simple Boolean modules is achieved differing from that given by Brink in a homogeneous approach. We construct the smallest and the greatest modular congruence having the same Boolean part. The same is established for modular ideals. The notions of kernel of a modular congruence and the congruence induced by a modular ideal are introduced to describe an isomorphism between CongM and IdeM. This isomorphism leads us to conclude that the class of the Boolean module is ideal determined.
