Dilworth's theorem. Every finite distributive lattice $D$ can be represented as the congruence lattice of a finite lattice $L$. We want: Every finite distributive lattice $D$ can be represented as the congruence lattice of a nice finite…
By a 1941 result of Ph. M. Whitman, the free lattice FL(3) on three generators includes a sublattice $S$ that is isomorphic to the lattice FL($\omega$)=FL($\aleph_0$) generated freely by denumerably many elements. The first author has…
A 1984 problem of S.Z. Ditor asks whether there exists a lattice of cardinality aleph two, with zero, in which every principal ideal is finite and every element has at most three lower covers. We prove that the existence of such a lattice…
A lattice L is spatial if every element of L is a join of completely join-irreducible elements of L (points), and strongly spatial if it is spatial and the minimal coverings of completely join-irreducible elements are well-behaved.…
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…
We start a systematic analysis of the first-order model theory of free lattices. Firstly, we prove that the free lattices of finite rank are not positively indistinguishable, as there is a positive $\exists \forall$-sentence true in…
We construct a completely normal bounded distributive lattice D in which for every pair (a, b) of elements, the set {x $\in$ D | a $\le$ b $\lor$ x} has a countable coinitial subset, such that D does not carry any binary operation -…
The problem of determining (up to lattice isomorphism) which lattices are sublattices of free lattices is in general an extremely difficult and an unsolved problem. A notable result towards solving this problem was established by Galvin and…
We show that all finite lattices, including non-distributive lattices, arise as stable matching lattices when all agents have path-independent choice functions. This result answers an open question of Blair~\cite{blair1988lattice}. In the…
We denote by Conc(A) the semilattice of all finitely generated congruences of an (universal) algebra A, and we define Conc(V) as the class of all isomorphic copies of all Conc(A), for A in V, for any variety V of algebras. Let V and W be…
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…
Let $\lambda$ and $\kappa$ be cardinal numbers such that $\kappa$ is infinite and either $2\leq \lambda\leq \kappa$, or $\lambda=2^\kappa$. We prove that there exists a lattice $L$ with exactly $\lambda$ many congruences, $2^\kappa$ many…
A sectionally complemented modular lattice L is coordinatizable if it is isomorphic to the lattice L(R) of all principal right ideals of some von Neumann regular (not necessarily unital) ring R. We say that L has a large 4-frame if it has a…
We give examples of pairs of isotopic algebras with non-isomorphic congruence lattices. This answers the question of whether all isotopic algebras have isomorphic congruence lattices.
Generalizing von Neumann's result on type II$_1$ von Neumann algebras, we characterize lattice isomorphisms between projection lattices of arbitrary von Neumann algebras by means of ring isomorphisms between the algebras of locally…
In this paper, we point out several errors in [M.Afkhami, K.Khashyarmanesh and K.Nafar, Zero divisor graph of a lattice with respect to an ideal, Beitr Algebra Geom (2015), 217-225.]. In the previous article, Afkhami claimed that the…
A distributive lattice structure ${\mathbf M}(G)$ has been established on the set of perfect matchings of a plane bipartite graph $G$. We call a lattice {\em matchable distributive lattice} (simply MDL) if it is isomorphic to such a…
Motivated by a recent paper of G. Gr\"atzer, a finite distributive lattice $D$ is said to be fully principal congruence representable if for every subset $Q$ of $D$ containing $0$, $1$, and the set $J(D)$ of nonzero join-irreducible…
We show that for every quasivariety K of structures (where both functions and relations are allowed) there is a semilattice S with operators such that the lattice of quasi-equational theories of K (the dual of the lattice of…
We study the relationships among existing results about representations of distributive semilattices by ideals in dimension groups, von Neumann regular rings, C*-algebras, and complemented modular lattices. We prove additional…
