For a slim, planar, semimodular lattice, G. Cz\'edli and E.\,T. Schmidt introduced the fork extension in 2012. In this note we prove that the fork extension has the Congruence Extension Property. This paper has been merged with Part II,…
G. Cz\'edli and E.\,T. Schmidt introduced in 2012 the fork extension. Continuing from Part I, we investigate the congruences of a fork extension. This paper has been merged with Part I, under the title Congruences of fork extensions of slim…
Following G.~Gr\"atzer and E.~Knapp, 2009, a planar semimodular lattice $L$ is \emph{rectangular}, if~the left boundary chain has exactly one doubly-irreducible element, $c_l$, and the right boundary chain has exactly one doubly-irreducible…
Let $L$ be a planar semimodular lattice. We call $L$ \emph{slim}, if it has no $\mthree$ sublattice. Let us define an \emph{SPS lattice} as a slim, planar, semimodular lattice $L$. In 2016, I proved a property of congruences of SPS lattices…
The systematic study of planar semimodular lattices started in 2007 with a series of papers by G. Gr\"atzer and E. Knapp. These lattices have connections with group theory and geometry. A planar semimodular lattice $L$ is {\it slim} if…
A planar (upper) semimodular lattice $L$ is slim if the five-element nondistributive modular lattice $M_3$ does not occur among its sublattices. (Planar lattices are finite by definition.) Slim rectangular lattices as particular slim planar…
The Swing Lemma of the second author describes how a congruence spreads from a prime interval to another in a slim (having no $M_3$ sublattice), planar, semimodular lattice. We generalize the Swing Lemma to planar semimodular lattices.
A planar semimodular lattice $K$ is \emph{slim} if $\mathsf{M}_{3}$ is not a sublattice of~$K$. In a recent paper, G. Cz\'edli found four new properties of congruence lattices of slim, planar, semimodular lattices, including the \emph{No…
In this note, I find a new property of the congruence lattice, Con$L$, of an SPS lattice $L$ (slim, planar, semimodular, where "slim" is the absence of~$\mathsf M_3$ sublattices) with more than $2$ elements: \emph{there are at least two…
A planar semimodular lattice $K$ is \emph{slim} if $\mathsf{M}_3$ is not a sublattice of~$K$. In a recent paper, G. Cz\'edli found four new properties of congruence lattices of slim, planar, semimodular lattices, including the \emph{No…
We prove that if $e$ is a join-irreducible element of a semimodular lattice $L$ of finite length and $h<e$ in $L$ such that $e$ does not cover $h$, then $e$ can be "lowered" to a covering of $h$ by taking a length-preserving semimodular…
Slim semimodular lattices were introduced by G. Gr\"atzer and E. Knapp in 2007, and they have intensively been studied since then. It is often reasonable to give these lattices by their $\mathcal C_1$-diagrams defined by the author in 2017.…
Let $L$ be a slim, planar, semimodular lattice (slim means that it does not contain an ${\mathsf M}_3$-sublattice). We call the interval $I = [o, i]$ of $L$ \emph{rectangular}, if there are complementary $a, b \in I$ such that $a$ is to the…
A lattice L is slim if it is finite and the set of its join-irreducible elements contains no three-element antichain. Slim, semimodular lattices were previously characterized by G. Cz\'edli and E.T. Schmidt as the duals of the lattices…
A planar semimodular lattice $L$ is \emph{slim} if $\mathbf{M}_3$ is not a sublattice of $L$. In a recent paper, G. Cz\'edli introduced a very powerful diagram type for slim, planar, semimodular lattices. This short note proves the…
Slim semimodular lattices (for short, SPS lattices) and slim rectangular lattices (for short, SR lattices) were introduced by G. Gr\"atzer and E. Knapp in 2007 and 2009. These lattices are necessarily finite and planar, and they have been…
A planar semimodular lattice is slim if it does not contain $M_3$ as a sublattice. An SPS lattice is a slim, planar, semimodular lattice. A recent result of G\'abor Cz\'edli proves that there is an eight element (planar) distributive…
In an earlier paper, to describe how a congruence spreads from a prime interval to another in a finite lattice, I introduced the concept of prime-perspectivity and its transitive extension, prime-projectivity and proved the…
Patch lattices, introduced by G. Cz\'edli and E.T. Schmidt in 2013, are the building stones for slim (and so necessarily finite and planar) semimodular lattices with respect to gluing. Slim semimodular lattices were introduced by G.…
IIn a finite lattice, a congruence spreads from a prime interval to another by a sequence of congruence-perspectivities through \emph{intervals of arbitrary size}, by a 1955 result of J. Jakub\'ik. In this note, I introduce the concept of…
