A Construction of Semimodular Lattices

In this paper we prove that if !.l' is a finite lattice. and r is an integral valued function on !.l' satisfying some very natural then there exists a finite geometric (that is.• semimodular and atomistic) lattice containing asa sublatticesuch that r !.l'restricted to Sf. Moreover. we show that if, for all intervals of. semimodular lattices of length at most r(e) are given. then can be chosen t...

Frankl's Conjecture for a subclass of semimodular lattices

 In this paper, we prove Frankl's Conjecture for an upper semimodular lattice $L$ such that $|J(L)setminus A(L)| leq 3$, where $J(L)$ and $A(L)$ are the set of join-irreducible elements and the set of atoms respectively. It is known that the class of planar lattices is contained in the class of dismantlable lattices and the class of dismantlable lattices is contained in the class of lattices ha...

Congruence Lattices of Finite Semimodular Lattices

We prove that every finite distributive lattice can be represented as the congruence lattice of a finite (planar) semimodular lattice.

Semimodular Lattices and Semibuildings

In a ranked lattice, we consider two maximal chains, or “flags” to be i-adjacent if they are equal except possibly on rank i . Thus, a finite rank lattice is a chamber system. If the lattice is semimodular, as noted in [9], there is a “Jordan-Hölder permutation” between any two flags. This permutation has the properties of an Sn-distance function on the chamber system of flags. Using these noti...
