The role of bounded homomorphisms in lattice theory
by
Ralph Freese
University of Hawaii
Coauthors: J. B. Nation

McKenzie's concept of a bounded homomorphism has played a crucial role in lattice theory. We survey the results in lattice theory that use this idea, from McKenzie's landmark paper up to recent work. Topics will include free lattices, varieties and finitely presented lattices.
