Denote by Id$_c G$ the lattice of all principal $\ell$-ideals of an Abelian $\ell$-group $G$. Our main result is the following. Theorem. For every countable Abelian $\ell$-group $G$, every countable completely normal distributive 0-lattice…

In this article we give a simple, almost uniform proof that the lattice of noncrossing partitions associated with a well-generated complex reflection group is lexicographically shellable. So far a uniform proof is available only for Coxeter…

We show that if G is a finite group then no chain of modular elements in its subgroup lattice L(G) is longer than a chief series. Also, we show that if G is a nonsolvable finite group then every maximal chain in L(G) has length at least two…

We say that a (∨,0)-semilattice S is conditionally co-Brouwerian, if (1) for all nonempty subsets X and Y of S such that X $\leq$ Y (i.e., x $\leq$ y for all (x, y) $\in$ X x Y), there exists z $\in$ S such that X $\leq$ z $\leq$ Y,…

Structures involving a lattice and join-endomorphisms on it are ubiquitous in computer science. We study the cardinality of the set $\mathcal{E}(L)$ of all join-endomorphisms of a given finite lattice $L$. In particular, we show for…

Let $A$ be a rational function. For any decomposition of $A$ into a composition of rational functions $A=U\circ V$ the rational function $\widetilde A=V\circ U$ is called an elementary transformation of $A$, and rational functions $A$ and…

Let R=k[x_1,...,x_n] be a polynomial ring over a field k. Let J={j_1,...,j_t} be a subset of [n]={1,...,n}, and let m_J denote the ideal (x_{j_1},...,x_{j_t}) of R. Given subsets J_1,...,J_s of [n] and positive integers a_1,...,a_s, we…

We define a class of inverse monoids having the property that their lattices of principal ideals naturally form an MV-algebra. We say that an arbitrary MV-algebra can be co-ordinatized if it is isomorphic to one constructed in this way from…

We show that, given a set $E\subset \mathbb R^{n+1}$ with finite $n$-Hausdorff measure $H^n$, if the $n$-dimensional Riesz transform $$R_{H^n|E} f(x) = \int_{E} \frac{x-y}{|x-y|^{n+1}} f(y) dH^n(y)$$ is bounded in $L^2(H^n|E)$, then $E$ is…

We prove a coordinatization theorem for unital alternative algebras containing 2 x 2 matrix algebra with the same identity element 1. This solves an old problem announced by Nathan Jacobson on the description of alternative algebras…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $M$ be an $R$-module, and let $I(R)^*$ be the set of all non-trivial ideals of $R$. The $M$-intersection graph of ideals of $R$, denoted by $G_M(R)$, is a graph with the vertex set $I(R)^*$, and two…

Let $G$ be a right-angled Artin group with defining graph $\Gamma$ and let $H$ be a finitely generated group quasi-isometric to $G(\Gamma)$. We show if $G$ satisfies (1) its outer automorphism group is finite; (2) $\Gamma$ does not have…

A partial algebra construction of Gr\"atzer and Schmidt from "Characterizations of congruence lattices of abstract algebras" (Acta Sci. Math. (Szeged) 24 (1963), 34-59) is adapted to provide an alternative proof to a well-known fact that…

Certain solvable extensions of $H$-type groups provide noncompact counterexamples to the so-called Lichnerowicz conjecture, which asserted that ``harmonic'' Riemannian spaces must be rank 1 symmetric spaces.

In this article we introduce a new matroid invariant, a combinatorial analog of the topological zeta function of a polynomial. More specifically we associate to any ranked, atomic meet-semilattice L a rational function Z(L,s), in such a way…

A notion of {\em normal submonoid} of a monoid $M$ is introduced that generalizes the normal subgroups of a group. When ordered by inclusion, the set $\mathsf{NorSub}(M)$ of normal submonoids of $M$ is a complete lattice. Joins are…

We prove that for every Aronzsajn line A and every Countryman line C, there is a proper forcing extension in which A contains an isomorphic copy of either C or its converse C*. As a corollary, we obtain answers to several related questions…

We construct a bounded and symmetric convex body in $\ell_2(\Gamma)$ (for certain cardinals $\Gamma$) whose translates yield a tiling of $\ell_2(\Gamma)$. This answers a question due to Fonf and Lindenstrauss. As a consequence, we obtain…

A well-known theorem due to R. C. James states that a Banach space is reflexive if and only if every bounded linear functional attains its norm. In this note we study Banach lattices on which every (real-valued) lattice homomorphism attains…

For a totally real field $F$, a finite extension $\mathbf{F}$ of $\mathbf{F}_p$ and a Galois character $\chi: G_F \to \mathbf{F}^{\times}$ unramified away from a finite set of places $\Sigma \supset \{\mathfrak{p} \mid p\}$ consider the…
