The main result of this paper is a structural theorem for projective Q-factorial toric varieties X in P^N, covered by lines. We prove that there exists a toric fibration f: X -> Z, locally trivial in the Zariski topology, with fiber a…
A rotational lattice is a structure (L;\vee,\wedge, g) where L=(L;\vee,\wedge) is a lattice and g is a lattice automorphism of finite order. We describe the subdirectly irreducible distributive rotational lattices. Using J\'onsson's lemma,…
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…
Let $R$ be a valuation ring and let $Q$ be its total quotient ring. It is proved that any singly projective (respectively flat) module is finitely projective if and only if $Q$ is maximal (respectively artinian). It is shown that each…
A flat of a matroid is cyclic if it is a union of circuits; such flats form a lattice under inclusion and, up to isomorphism, all lattices can be obtained this way. A lattice is a Tr-lattice if all matroids whose lattices of cyclic flats…
We describe the absolute retracts for the following classes of finite lattices: (1) slim semimodular lattices, (2) finite distributive lattices, and for each positive integer $n$, (3) at most $n$-dimensional finite distributive lattices.…
We show that, for a free abelian group $G$ and prime power $p^\nu$, every direct sum decomposition of the group $G/p^\nu G$ lifts to a direct sum decomposition of $G$. This is the key result we use to show that, if $R$ is a commutative von…
We observe that for a quasi-compact and quasi-separated scheme the structure sheaf generates the perfect complexes if and only if the lattice of thick subcategories is distributive if and only if the affinization map is 0-affine. Examples…
The projective metrizability problem can be formulated as follows: under what conditions the geodesics of a given spray coincide with the geodesics of some Finsler space, as oriented curves. In Theorem 3.8 we reformulate the projective…
A quadratic lattice $M$ over a Dedekind domain $R$ with fraction field $F$ is defined to be a finitely generated torsion-free $R$-module equipped with a non-degenerate quadratic form on the $F$-vector space $F\otimes_{R}M$. Assuming that…
We establish a topological duality for bounded lattices. The two main features of our duality are that it generalizes Stone duality for bounded distributive lattices, and that the morphisms on either side are not the standard ones. A…
We give a unifying description of all inequivalent vector bundles over the 2-dimensional sphere $S^2$ by constructing suitable global projectors $p$ via equivariant maps. Each projector determines the projective module of finite type of…
We give two sufficient conditions for the lattice Co(R^n,X) of relatively convex sets of n-dimensional real space R^n to be join-semidistributive, where X is a finite union of segments. We also prove that every finite lower bounded lattice…
A residuated lattice is defined to be integrally closed if it satisfies the equations x\x = e and x/x = e. Every integral, cancellative, or divisible residuated lattice is integrally closed, and, conversely, every bounded integrally closed…
Let R be a commutative ring with identity and S a multiplicative subset of R. The aim of this paper is to study the class of commutative rings in which every S-flat module is flat (resp., projective). An R-module M is said to be S-flat if…
We compute projective dimension of translated simple modules in the regular block of the BGG category $\mathcal{O}$ in terms of Kazhdan-Lusztig combinatorics. This allows us to determine which projectives can appear at the last step of a…
We give a case-free proof that the lattice of noncrossing partitions associated to any finite real reflection group is EL-shellable. Shellability of these lattices was open for the groups of type $D_n$ and those of exceptional type and rank…
Finite distributive lattices whose join-meet ideals are of K\"onig type will be classified. Furthermore, a class of polyominoes whose polyomino ideals are of K\"onig type will be studied.
We examine the problem of projecting subsets of a commutative, positively ordered monoid into an $o$-ideal. We prove that to this end one may restrict to a sufficient subset, for whose cardinality we provide an explicit upper bound. Several…
We consider the problem of interpolating functions partially defined over a distributive lattice, by means of lattice polynomial functions. Goodstein's theorem solves a particular instance of this interpolation problem on a distributive…
