For any finite Coxeter group $W$ of rank $n$ we show that the order complex of the lattice of non-crossing partitions $\mathrm{NC}(W)$ embeds as a connected chamber subcomplex into a spherical building of type $A_{n-1}$. We use this to give…
For many equation-theoretical questions about modular lattices, Hall and Dilworth give a useful construction: Let $L_0$ be a lattice with largest element $u_0$, $L_1$ be a lattice disjoint from $L_0$ with smallest element $v_1$, and $a \in…
An FN lattice $F$ is a simple, infinite, semidistributive lattice. Its existence was recently proved by R. Freese and J.\,B. Nation. Let $\mathsf{B}_n$ denote the Boolean lattice with $n$ atoms. For a lattice $K$, let $K^+$ denote $K$ with…
We introduce a new combinatorial structure: the metasylvester lattice on decreasing trees. It appears in the context of the $m$-Tamari lattices and other related $m$-generalizations. The metasylvester congruence has been recently introduced…
For affine Coxeter groups of affine types $\tilde D$ and $\tilde B$, we model the interval $[1,c]_T$ in the absolute order by symmetric noncrossing partitions of an annulus with one or two double points. In type $\tilde B$ (and…
We investigate whether the set of subfit elements of a distributive semilattice is an ideal. This question was raised by the second author at the BLAST conference in 2022. We show that in general it has a negative solution, however if the…
For a regular coupled cell network, synchrony subspaces are the polydiagonal subspaces that are invariant under the network adjacency matrix. The complete lattice of synchrony subspaces of an $n$-cell regular network can be seen as an…
We prove that every distributive algebraic lattice with at most $\aleph\_1$ compact elements is isomorphic to the normal subgroup lattice of some group and to the submodule lattice of some right module. The $\aleph\_1$ bound is optimal, as…
By a special symplectic connection we mean a torsion free connection which is either the Levi-Civita connection of a Bochner-K\"ahler metric of arbitrary signature, a Bochner-bi-Lagrangian connection, a connection of Ricci type or a…
We prove a remarkable combinatorial symmetry in the number of spanning configurations in site percolation: for a large class of lattices, the number of spanning configurations with an odd or even number of occupied sites differs by $\pm 1$.…
We introduce a new class of partial actions of free groups on totally disconnected compact Hausdorff spaces, which we call convex subshifts. These serve as an abstract framework for the partial actions associated with finite separated…
A lattice L is spatial if every element of L is a join of completely join-irreducible elements of L (points), and strongly spatial if it is spatial and the minimal coverings of completely join-irreducible elements are well-behaved.…
A hemiimplicative semilattice is a bounded semilattice $(A, \wedge, 1)$ endowed with a binary operation $\to$, satisfying that for every $a, b, c \in A$, $a \leq b \to c$ implies $a \wedge b \leq c$ (that is to say, one of the conditionals…
Join-distributive lattices are finite, meet-semidistributive, and semimodular lattices. They are the same as Dilworth's lattices in 1940, and many alternative definitions and equivalent concepts have been discovered or rediscovered since…
In the paper we present various characterizations of chain-compact and chain-finite topological semilattices. A topological semilattice $X$ is called chain-compact (resp. chain-finite) if each closed chain in $X$ is compact (finite). In…
We study parabolic aligned elements associated with the type-$B$ Coxeter group and the so-called linear Coxeter element. These elements were introduced algebraically in (M\"uhle and Williams, 2019) for parabolic quotients of finite Coxeter…
In this article, we investigate the set of $\gamma$-sortable elements, associated with a Coxeter group $W$ and a Coxeter element $\gamma\in W$, under Bruhat order, and we denote this poset by $\mathcal{B}_{\gamma}$. We show that this poset…
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…
We call a finite, spanning set of a semi-simple real Lie algebra a distinguished set if it satisfies the following property: The Lie bracket of any two elements out of the set is, up to some constant, another element in the set; conversely,…
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…
