A classical result of R.\,P. Dilworth states that every finite distributive lattice $D$ can be represented as the congruence lattice of a finite lattice~$L$. A~sharper form was published in G.~Gr\"atzer and E.\,T. Schmidt in 1962, adding…
Let A be a subspace arrangement with a geometric lattice such that codim(x) > 1 for every x in A. Using rational homotopy theory, we prove that the complement M(A) is rationally elliptic if and only if the sum of the orthogonal subspaces is…
Let A be an associative algebra with identity over a field k. An atomistic subsemiring R of the lattice of subspaces of A, endowed with the natural product, is a subsemiring which is a closed atomistic sublattice. When R has no zero…
We prove the following result: Let K be a lattice, let D be a distributive lattice with zero, and let $\phi$: Con K $\to$ D be a {∨, 0}-homomorphism, where Conc K denotes the {∨, 0}-semilattice of all finitely generated…
We call an operator algebra A {\em reversible} if A with reversed multiplication is also an abstract operator algebra (in the modern operator space sense). This class of operator algebras is intimately related to the {\em symmetric operator…
We investigate the representation of lattices as sublattices of the lattice of all convex subsets (intervals) of a linearly ordered set $(X,\le)$. We introduce the purely lattice-theoretic notion of a \textit{loc-lattice} and prove that…
Any finite set of linear operators on an algebra $A$ yields an operator algebra $B$ and a module structure on A, whose endomorphism ring is isomorphic to a subring $A^B$ of certain invariant elements of $A$. We show that if $A$ is a…
We survey three methods for proving that the characteristic polynomial of a finite lattice factors over the nonnegative integers and indicate how they have evolved recently. The first technique uses geometric ideas and is based on…
Let $A$, $B$, and $S$ be (v,0)-semilattices and let $f: A\to B$ be a (v,0)-embedding. Then the canonical map, $f \otimes \id\_S$, of the tensor product $A \otimes S$ into the tensor product $B \otimes S$ is not necessarily an embedding. The…
A partial lattice P is ideal-projective, with respect to a class C of lattices, if for every K $\in$ C and every homomorphism $\phi$ of partial lattices from P to the ideal lattice of K, there are arbitrarily large choice functions f : P…
A classical result of Sherman says that if the space of self-adjoint elements in a $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{A}$ is a lattice with respect to its canonical order, then $\mathcal{A}$ is commutative. We give a new proof of this theorem which…
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…
We prove an operator algebraic superrigidity statement for homomorphisms of irreducible lattices, and also their commensurators, in certain higher-rank groups into unitary groups of finite factors. This extends the authors' previous work…
In this paper, we investigate the algebras of consequence operators and finite consequence operators on a fixed language. Significant new collections of consequence operators are defined and shown to be complete and distributive…
We show that all finite lattices, including non-distributive lattices, arise as stable matching lattices when all agents have path-independent choice functions. This result answers an open question of Blair~\cite{blair1988lattice}. In the…
In this note we analyse the Lie algebras of physical states stemming from lattice constructions on general even, self-dual lattices Gamma^{p,q} with p greater or equal to q. It is known that if the lattice is at most Lorentzian, the…
We argue that it makes sense to talk about ``typical'' properties of lattices, and then show that there is, up to isomorphism, a unique countable lattice L* (the Fraisse limit of the class of finite lattices) that has all ``typical''…
Let A be an idempotent algebra on a 3-element domain D that omits a G-set for a factor. Suppose A is not \alpha\beta-projective (for some alpha, beta subsets of D) and is not collapsible. It follows that A is switchable. We prove that, for…
An \emph{antilattice} is an algebraic structure based on the same set of axioms as a lattice except that the two commutativity axioms for $\land$ and $\lor$ are replaced by anticommutative counterparts. In this paper we study certain…
In a recent work Foulis and Pulmannov\' a \cite{Foulis2012} studied the logical connectives in lattice effect algebras. In this paper we extend their study and investigate further the logical calculus for which the lattice effect algebras…
