Canonical extension of finitary ordered structures such as lattices, posets, proximity lattices, etc., is a certain completion which entirely describes the topological dual of the ordered structure and it does so in a purely algebraic and…
A knot in $S^3$ is topologically slice if it bounds a locally flat disk in $B^4$. A knot in $S^3$ is rationally slice if it bounds a smooth disk in a rational homology ball. We prove that the smooth concordance group of topologically and…
We show that there are uncountably many countable lattices. We give a discussion of which such lattices can be modular or distributive. The method applies to show that certain other classes of structures also have uncountably many…
We initiate the study of supersymmetry-preserving topological defect lines (TDLs) in the Conway moonshine module $V^{f \natural}$. We show that the tensor category of such defects, under suitable assumptions, admits a surjective but…
We use the structure lattice, introduced in Part I, to undertake a systematic study of the class $\mathscr S$ consisting of compactly generated, topologically simple, totally disconnected locally compact groups that are non-discrete. Given…
There exist as many index-$k$ sublattices of the hexagonal lattice up to isometry as there exist lattice triangles with normalized volume $k$ up to unimodular equivalence, which can be explained using orbifolds. In dimension 3, it was noted…
We initiate the study of model structures on (categories induced by) lattice posets, a subject we dub homotopical combinatorics. In the case of a finite total order $[n]$, we enumerate all model structures, exhibiting a rich combinatorial…
We study topological aspects of a compact lattice superconductor, and show that the characteristic energy splitting, $\Delta$, between almost degenerate ground states, is simply related to a novel order parameter $\tilde W$, which is…
The duality between a class of the Davey-Stewartson type coupled systems and a class of two-dimensional Toda type lattices is discussed. For the recently found integrable lattice the hierarchy of symmetries is described. Second and third…
We call a lattice crosscut-simplicial if the crosscut complex of every atomic interval is equal to the boundary of a simplex. Every interval of such a lattice is either contractible or homotopy equivalent to a sphere. Recently, Hersh and…
The main results of the paper points out the connection between the weak ordered relations and factor lattices defined by tolerances. It is proved that for any tolerance $T$ of a lattice $L$ the Dedekind-Mac Neille completion of $L/T$ is…
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…
We consider two constructions of an envelope for a finite locally distributive strong upper semilattice. The first is based on Birkhoff's representation of finite distributive lattices and the second on valuations on lattices. We show that…
Problems related to projections on closed convex cones are frequently encountered in optimization theory and related fields. To study these problems, various unifying ideas have been introduced, including asymmetric vector-valued norms and…
A lattice $L$ is said lowly finite if the set $[\mathsf{0},a]$ is finite for every element $a$ of $L$. We mainly aim to provide a complete proof that, if $M$ is a subset of a complete lowly finite distributive lattice $L$ containing its…
We consider some distinguished classes of elements of a multiplicative lattice endowed with coarse lower topologies, and call them lower spaces. The primary objective of this paper is to study the topological properties of these lower…
We establish several independent results concerning extremal, left modular, congruence uniform, and semidistributive lattices. An equivalent characterization of left modular lattices is obtained in terms of edge-labellings, together with…
By a 1941 result of Ph. M. Whitman, the free lattice FL(3) on three generators includes a sublattice $S$ that is isomorphic to the lattice FL($\omega$)=FL($\aleph_0$) generated freely by denumerably many elements. The first author has…
This is the first contribution of a sequence of papers introducing the notions of $s$-weak order and $s$-permutahedra, certain discrete objects that are indexed by a sequence of non-negative integers $s$. In this first paper, we concentrate…
We prove that, under mild assumptions, a lattice in a product of semi-simple Lie group and a totally disconnected locally compact group is, in a certain sense, arithmetic. We do not assume the lattice to be finitely generated or the ambient…
