We prove the existence of free objects in certain subcategories of Banach lattices, including $p$-convex Banach lattices, Banach lattices with upper $p$-estimates, and AM-spaces. From this we immediately deduce that projectively universal…
We study distinguished objects in the category $\mathcal{BL}$ of Banach lattices and lattice homomorphisms. The free Banach lattice construction introduced by de Pagter and Wickstead generates push-outs, and combining this with an old…
Given free modules $M\subseteq L$ of finite rank $f\geq 1$ over a principal ideal domain $R$, we give a procedure to construct a basis of $L$ from a basis of $M$ assuming the invariant factors or elementary divisors of $L/M$ are known.…
We address the following two questions regarding the maximal left ideals of the Banach algebra $\mathscr{B}(E)$ of bounded operators acting on an infinite-dimensional Banach pace $E$: (Q1) Does $\mathscr{B}(E)$ always contain a maximal left…
In general it is a difficult problem to construct the lattice of submodules $L(M)$ of a given module $M$. In \cite{St} R. P. Stanley outlined a method for constucting a distributive lattice from a knowledge of its join irreducibles. However…
We show that $c_0$ is not a projective Banach lattice, answering a question of B. de Pagter and A. Wickstead. On the other hand, we show that $c_0$ is complemented in the free Banach lattice generated by itself (seen as a Banach space). As…
We provide a direct proof that a finite graded lattice with a maximal chain of left modular elements is supersolvable. This result was first established via a detour through EL-labellings in [McNamara-Thomas] by combining results of…
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…
This paper gives a simple ${\mathbf Q}$-vector space construction of finite $B_h$-sets of integers and lattice points.
Let E be a number field and G be a finite group. Let A be any O_E-order of full rank in the group algebra E[G] and X be a (left) A-lattice. In a previous article, we gave a necessary and sufficient condition for X to be free of given rank d…
We construct a countable bounded sublattice of the lattice of all subspaces of a vector space with two non-isomorphic maximal Boolean sublattice. We represent one of them as the range of a Banschewski function and we prove that this is not…
We consider problems concerning the partial order structure of the set of spreading models of Banach spaces. We construct examples of spaces showing that the possible structure of these sets include certain classes of finite semi-lattices…
This article is the second part of an essay dedicated to lattices freely generated by posets within a variety. The first part dealt with four easy varieties while this part is concerned with finitely generated varieties. Here we present a…
A lattice-ordered group (an $\ell$-group) $G(\oplus, \vee, \wedge)$ can be naturally viewed as a semiring $G(\vee,\oplus)$. We give a full classification of (abelian) $\ell$-groups which are finitely generated as semirings, by first showing…
A comprehensive overview of lattice rules and polynomial lattice rules is given for function spaces based on $\ell_p$ semi-norms. Good lattice rules and polynomial lattice rules are defined as those obtaining worst-case errors bounded by…
Implicational bases are a well-known representation of closure spaces and their closure lattices. This representation is not unique, though, and a closure space usually admits multiple bases. Among these, the canonical base, the canonical…
We show how to construct a complete set of eigenstates of the hamiltonian of the one-dimensional Hubbard model on a lattice of even length $L$. This is done by using the nested Bethe Ansatz {\it and} the $SO(4)$ symmetry of the model. We…
In this paper, we will show how the Caratheodory Extension process is intimately related to the metric completion process. In particular, it will be shown how one is able to construct a lattice on the completion and to obtain an isomorphism…
We give several structural results concerning the Lipschitz-free spaces $\mathcal F(M)$, where $M$ is a metric space. We show that $\mathcal F(M)$ contains a complemented copy of $\ell_1(\Gamma)$, where $\Gamma=\text{dens}(M)$. If $\mathcal…
Motivated by Kohno's result on the holonomy Lie algebra of a hyperplane arrangement, we define the holonomy Lie algebra of a finite geometric lattice in a combinatorial way. For a solvable pair of lattices, we show that the holonomy Lie…
