Abstract

In this work we study the structure of the set of congruences on several hyperstructures with one and two (hyper-)operations. On the one hand, we show sufficient conditions guaranteeing that the set of congruences of an nd-groupoid forms a complete lattice (which, in turn, is a sublattice of the lattice of equivalence relations on the nd-groupoid). On the other hand, we focus on the study of the congruences on a multilattice; specifically, we prove that the set of congruences on an m-distributive multilattice forms a complete lattice and, moreover, show that the classical relationship between homomorphisms and congruences can be adequately adapted to work with multilattices under suitable restrictions.
