Abstract

Let LL be a slim, planar, semimodular lattice (slim means that it does not contain M3{\mathsf M}_3-sublattices). We call the interval I=[o,i]I = [o, i] of LL \emph{rectangular}, if there are ul,ur[o,i]{o,i}u_l, u_r \in [o, i] - \{o,i\} such that i=uluri = u_l \vee u_r and o=uluro = u_l \wedge u_r where ulu_l is to the left of uru_r. \emph{The first result}: a rectangular interval of a rectangular lattice is a rectangular lattice. As an application, we get a recent result of G. Cz\'edli. In a 2017 paper, G. Cz\'edli introduced a very powerful diagram type for slim, planar, semimodular lattices, the \emph{C1\mathcal{C}_1-diagrams}. We revisit the concept of \emph{natural diagrams} I introduced with E.~Knapp about a dozen years ago. Given a slim rectangular lattice LL, we construct its natural diagram in one simple step. \emph{The second result} shows that for a slim rectangular lattice, a~natural diagram is the same as a C1\mathcal{C}_1-diagram. Therefore, natural diagrams have all the nice properties of C1\mathcal{C}_1-diagrams.
