A 1955 result of J.~Jakub\'i k states that for the prime intervals $\fp$ and $\fq$ of a finite lattice, $\con{\fp} \geq \con{\fq}$ if{}f $\fp$ is congruence-projective to~$\fq$ (\emph{via} intervals of arbitrary size). The problem is how to…
In an earlier paper, to describe how a congruence spreads from a prime interval to another in a finite lattice, I introduced the concept of prime-perspectivity and its transitive extension, prime-projectivity and proved the…
In a recent paper, G. Cz\'edli and E.\,T. Schmidt present a structure theorem for planar semimodular lattices. In this note, we present an alternative proof.
In this note, I find a new property of the congruence lattice, Con$L$, of an SPS lattice $L$ (slim, planar, semimodular, where "slim" is the absence of~$\mathsf M_3$ sublattices) with more than $2$ elements: \emph{there are at least two…
Following G. Gr\"atzer and E. Knapp (2007), a slim semimodular lattice, SPS lattice for short, is a finite planar semimodular lattice having no $M_3$ as a sublattice. An SPS lattice is a slim rectangular lattice if it has exactly two doubly…
A (Hasse) diagram of a finite partially ordered set (poset) P will be called quasiplanar if for any two incomparable elements u and v, either v is on the left of all maximal chains containing u, or v is on the right of all these chains.…
IIn a finite lattice, a congruence spreads from a prime interval to another by a sequence of congruence-perspectivities through \emph{intervals of arbitrary size}, by a 1955 result of J. Jakub\'ik. In this note, I introduce the concept of…
Let $L$ be a lattice of full rank in $n$-dimensional real space. A vector in $L$ is called $i$-sparse if it has no more than $i$ nonzero coordinates. We define the $i$-th successive sparsity level of $L$, $s_i(L)$, to be the minimal $s$ so…
The systematic study of planar semimodular lattices started in 2007 with a series of papers by G. Gr\"atzer and E. Knapp. These lattices have connections with group theory and geometry. A planar semimodular lattice $L$ is {\it slim} if…
A lattice $\Lambda$ is said to be an extension of a sublattice $L$ of smaller rank if $L$ is equal to the intersection of $\Lambda$ with the subspace spanned by $L$. The goal of this paper is to initiate a systematic study of the geometry…
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…
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…
Let \mathbb{F}_q^{n+l} denote the (n+l)-dimensional singular linear space over a finite field \mathbb{F}_q. For a fixed integer m\leq\min\{n,l\}, denote by \mathcal{L}^m_o(\mathbb{F}_q^{n+l}) the set of all subspaces of type (t,t_1), where…
A lattice in Euclidean $d$-space is called well-rounded if it contains $d$ linearly independent vectors of minimal length. This class of lattices is important for various questions, including sphere packing or homology computations. The…
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…
G. Cz\'edli and E.\,T. Schmidt introduced in 2012 the fork extension. Continuing from Part I, we investigate the congruences of a fork extension. This paper has been merged with Part I, under the title Congruences of fork extensions of slim…
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…
A lattice is called well-rounded, if its lattice vectors of minimal length span the ambient space. We show that there are interesting connections between the existence of well-rounded sublattices and coincidence site lattices (CSLs).…
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.…
Let I be a dense linear order with a left endpoint but no right endpoint. We consider the lattice L(I) of finite unions of closed intervals of I. This lattice arises naturally in the setting of o-minimality, as these are precisely the…
