Abstract

A quasiantichain is a lattice consisting of a maximum, a minimum, and the atoms of the lattice. The width of a quasiantichian is the number of atoms. For a positive integer ww (3\ge 3), a quasiantichain of width ww is denoted by Mw\mathcal{M}_{w}. In \cite{BHW2}, it is proved that Mw\mathcal{M}_{w} can be as a Chermak-Delgado lattice of a finite group if and only if w=1+paw=1+p^a for some positive integer aa. Let tt be the number of abelian atoms in CD(G)\mathcal{CD}(G). If t>2t>2, then, according to \cite{BHW2}, there exists a positive integer bb such that t=pb+1t=p^b+1. The converse is still an open question. In this paper, we proved that a=ba=b or a=2ba=2b.
