INTRODUCTION. In the first part of this paper, we consider lattices which satisfy conditions We weaker than normality; more precisely mildly normal and slightly normal lattices. examples give of such lattices, and then investigate the preservation of these properties under lattice extension and restriction. Next, we investigate spaces which are related First, instead of considering the customary to topology the general Wallman space. on the Wallman space, we introduce another topology and show how topological properties reflect strongly to the underlying lattice. Then we consider the case of a lattice which is not necessarily This work generalizes disjunctive and construct an associated Wallman type space. that of Liu (see Section 5). We adhere to standard lattice terminology that can be found, for example, in [I], [2], [3], [4|, [5]. However, in section 2, we summarize the principal lattice concepts and notations that will be used throughout the paper for the convenience of the reader. We then precede to the consideration of mildly normal and slightly normal lattices in section 3, and then to analogues of the general Wallman space in sections 4 and 5. We flnally note that most of the results hold equally well for abstract lattices. 2. DEFINITIONS AND NOTATIONS. . a) Let X be an abstract set and fl a lattice of subsets of X.
