A modular characterization of supersolvable lattices

Combinatorics 2022-01-31 v2

Abstract

We characterize supersolvable lattices in terms of a certain modular type relation. McNamara and Thomas earlier characterized this class of lattices as those graded lattices having a maximal chain that consists of left-modular elements. Our characterization replaces the condition of gradedness with a second modularity condition on the maximal chain of left-modular elements.
