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…

Let (L_i : i\in I) be a family of lattices in a nontrivial lattice variety V, and let \phi_i: L_i --> M, for i\in I, be isotone maps (not assumed to be lattice homomorphisms) to a common lattice M (not assumed to lie in V). We show that the…

We show that every finite semilattice can be represented as an atomized semilattice, an algebraic structure with additional elements (atoms) that extend the semilattice's partial order. Each atom maps to one subdirectly irreducible…

Let $\Delta$ be a cocompact lattice in $\mathsf{Sp}(m,1)$, $m \geq 2$, or $F_{4}^{(-20)}$. We exhibit examples of finitely generated subgroups of $\Delta \times \Delta$ with positive first Betti number all of whose discrete faithful…

Building on an old result of Duncan and Namioka, we show that the ${\ell}^1$-convolution algebra of a semilattice $S$ is biflat precisely when $S$ is uniformly locally finite. The proof shows in passing that for such $S$ the convolution…

The spaces D, S and E' over \mathbb{R}^(n) are known to be flat modules over A=\mathbb{C}[\partial_{1},...,\partial_{n}], whereas their duals D', S' and E are known to be injective modules over the same ring. Let A be a Noetherian k-algebra…

In this paper, we introduce the graph $G(S)$ of a bounded semilattice $S$, which is a generalization of the intersection graph of the substructures of an algebraic structure. We prove some general theorems about these graphs; as an example,…

We prove that, under mild assumptions, a lattice in a product of semi-simple Lie group and a totally disconnected locally compact group is, in a certain sense, arithmetic. We do not assume the lattice to be finitely generated or the ambient…

We show that, if $M$ is a subspace lattice with the property that the rank one subspace of its operator algebra is weak* dense, $L$ is a commutative subspace lattice and $P$ is the lattice of all projections on a separable infinite…

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…

A semiring $S$ which is a union of rings is called completely regular, if moreover, it is orthodox then $S$ is called an orthoring. Here we study the orthorings $S$ such that $E^+(S)$ is a band semiring. Every band semiring is a spined…

We give an elementary proof of low rank cases of the conjecture that the tensor product of two semistable Euclidean lattices is again semistable.

Two semigroups are lattice isomorphic if the lattices of their subsemigroups are isomorphic, and a class of semigroups is lattice closed if it contains every semigroup which is lattice isomorphic to some semigroup from that class. An…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring. Roughly speaking, we prove that an $R$-module $M$ is flat iff it is a direct limit of $R$-module affine algebraic varieties, and $M$ is a flat Mittag-Leffler module iff it is the union of its $R$-submodule…

We announce results about flat (linkless) embeddings of graphs in 3-space. A piecewise-linear embedding of a graph in 3-space is called {\it flat} if every circuit of the graph bounds a disk disjoint from the rest of the graph. We have…

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…

A well-known classical result states that $c_0$ is linearly embeddable in a Banach lattice if and only if it is lattice embeddable. Improving results of H.P.~Lotz, H.P.~Rosenthal and N.~Ghoussoub, we prove that $C[0,1]$ shares this property…

We give canonical matrices of a pair (A,B) consisting of a nondegenerate form B and a linear operator A satisfying B(Ax,Ay)=B(x,y) on a vector space over F in the following cases: (i) F is an algebraically closed field of characteristic…

Various embedding problems of lattices into complete lattices are solved. We prove that for any join-semilattice S with the minimal join-cover refinement property, the ideal lattice IdS of S is both algebraic and dually algebraic.…

In this article, we prove that finite semidistributive lattices are dismantlable if and only if they are planar. This extends a well-known result by Kelly and Rival that states the same property for finite distributive lattices. Moreover,…
