A modular characterization of supersolvable lattices

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

Graded Left Modular Lattices Are Supersolvable
Abstract. We provide a direct proof that a finite graded lattice with a maximal chain of left modular elements is supersolvable. This result was first established via a detour through EL-labellings in [MT] by combining results of McNamara [Mc] and Liu [Li]. As part of our proof, we show that the maximum graded quotient of the free product of a chain and a single-element lattice is finite and di...
متن کاملA Generalization of Semimodular Supersolvable Lattices
Stanley [18] introduced the notion of a supersolvable lattice, L, in part to combinatorially explain the factorization of its characteristic polynomial over the integers when L is also semimodular. He did this by showing that the roots of the polynomial count certain sets of atoms of the lattice. In the present work we define an object called an atom decision tree. The class of semimodular latt...
متن کاملSupersolvable LL-lattices of binary trees
Some posets of binary leaf-labeled trees are shown to be supersolvable lattices and explicit EL-labelings are given. Their characteristic polynomials are computed, recovering their known factorization in a different way.
متن کاملSupersolvable Frame-matroid and Graphic-lift Lattices
A geometric lattice is a frame if its matroid, possibly after enlargement, has a basis such that every atom lies under a join of at most two basis elements. Examples include all subsets of a classical root system. Using the fact that nitary frame matroids are the bias matroids of biased graphs, we characterize modular coatoms in frames of nite rank and we describe explicitly the frames that are...
متن کاملBinary Supersolvable Matroids and Modular Constructions
Let Jt be the class of binary matroids without a Fano plane as a submatroid. We show that every supersolvable matroid in JÍ is graphic, corresponding to a chordal graph. Then we characterize the case that the modular join of two matroids is supersolvable. This is used to study modular flats and modular joins of binary supersolvable matroids. We decompose supersolvable matroids in JH as modular ...
