A new proof of Funayama's theorem
Abstract
Funayama proved that a lattice embeds into a complete Boolean algebra in such a way that all existing joins and meets are preserved if and only if the lattice satisfies the join-infinite and meet-infinite distributive laws. There are several proofs of this classic result in the literature. In this note, we provide a new and purely order-theoretic proof of Funayama's theorem, as well as of generalizations of the theorem.
