Patch lattices, introduced by G. Cz\'edli and E.T. Schmidt in 2013, are the building stones for slim (and so necessarily finite and planar) semimodular lattices with respect to gluing. Slim semimodular lattices were introduced by G.…
This paper studies absolute retracts in congruence modular varieties of universal algebras. It is shown that every absolute retract with finite dimensional congruence lattice is a product of subdirectly irreducible algebras. Further, every…
A lattice L is slim if it is finite and the set of its join-irreducible elements contains no three-element antichain. Slim, semimodular lattices were previously characterized by G. Cz\'edli and E.T. Schmidt as the duals of the lattices…
Slim semimodular lattices (for short, SPS lattices) and slim rectangular lattices (for short, SR lattices) were introduced by G. Gr\"atzer and E. Knapp in 2007 and 2009. These lattices are necessarily finite and planar, and they have been…
For some important families of complete infinite lattices, we study some generalizations of two fundamental notions which are mostly treated for finite lattices. Specifically, for well-separated $\kappa$-lattices, and also for weakly atomic…
Slim semimodular lattices were introduced by G. Gr\"atzer and E. Knapp in 2007, and they have intensively been studied since then. It is often reasonable to give these lattices by their $\mathcal C_1$-diagrams defined by the author in 2017.…
We study maximal sublattices of finite semidistributive lattices via their complements. We focus on the conjecture that such complements are always intervals, which is known to be true for bounded lattices. Since the class of…
In 1980, U. Faigle introduced a sort of finite geometries on posets that are in bijective correspondence with finite semimodular lattices. His result has almost been forgotten in lattice theory. Here we simplify the axiomatization of these…
A planar (upper) semimodular lattice $L$ is slim if the five-element nondistributive modular lattice $M_3$ does not occur among its sublattices. (Planar lattices are finite by definition.) Slim rectangular lattices as particular slim planar…
We establish conditions under which lattices in certain simple Lie groups are profinitely solitary in the absolute sense, so that the commensurability class of the profinite completion determines the commensurability class of the group…
A partial algebra construction of Gr\"atzer and Schmidt from "Characterizations of congruence lattices of abstract algebras" (Acta Sci. Math. (Szeged) 24 (1963), 34-59) is adapted to provide an alternative proof to a well-known fact that…
We characterize the absolute retracts in the category of reflexive oriented graphs, that is, antisymmetric reflexive graphs, where morphisms between objects preserve arcs (which may be sent to loops). Here we show, by correcting a much…
A recent result of G. Cz\'edli and E.\,T. Schmidt gives a construction of slim (planar) semimodular lattices from planar distributive lattices by adding elements, adding "forks". We give a construction that accomplishes the same by deleting…
Let $A$ be a basic finite-dimensional algebra and denote by $\operatorname{tors} A$ the collection of all all torsion classes of $A$. It has been proved in \cite{Demonet} that $\operatorname{tors} A$ is always a completely semidistributive…
A root lattice is a finite rank $\mathbb{Z}$-lattice generated by elements $x$ satisfying $x\cdot x=2$. It is well-known that the root lattices have an $ADE$ classification and they play a prominent role in the study of even unimodular…
By a rectangular distributive lattice we mean the direct product of two non-singleton finite chains. We prove that the retracts (ordered by set inclusion and together with the empty set) of a rectangular distributive lattice $G$ form a…
Since their introduction by G. Gr\"atzer and E. Knapp in 2007, more than four dozen papers have been devoted to finite slim planar semimodular lattices (in short, SPS lattices or slim semimodular lattices) and to some related fields. In…
In this article we investigate the relations between three classes of lattices each extending the class of distributive lattices in a different way. In particular, we consider join-semidistributive, join-extremal and left-modular lattices,…
A (v,0)-semilattice is ultraboolean, if it is a directed union of finite Boolean (v,0)-semilattices. We prove that every distributive (v,0)-semilattice is a retract of some ultraboolean (v,0)-semilattices. This is established by proving…
Let $G$ be a real centre-free semisimple Lie group without compact factors. I prove that irreducible lattices in $G$ are rigid under two types of sublinear distortions. The first result is that the class of lattices in groups that do not…
