For a prime filter , first suppose . If and , then andso . Thus no prime filter above belongs to , and
Conversely, suppose . The lattice filter generated by is disjoint from the principal lattice ideal . Indeed, an intersection would give some with , whence and then , a contradiction. The Stone prime filter theorem therefore extends this filter to a prime filter that omits . Then , so .
