Generalization of fixpoint subgroup and Knaster-Tarski

71 Views Asked by At

The Knaster-Tarski theorem states that the set of fixed points of a monotone function on a complete lattice forms a complete sublattice.

In group theory, the set of fixed points of an automorphism of a group forms a subgroup, called the fixpoint subgroup.

Are these both instances of some more general theorem about equational theories?
