Finite groups with modular chains

Roland Schmidt (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In 1954, Kontorovich and Plotkin introduced the concept of a modular chain in a lattice to obtain a lattice-theoretic characterization of the class of torsion-free nilpotent groups. We determine the structure of finite groups with modular chains. It turns out that this class of groups lies strictly between the class of finite groups with lower semimodular subgroup lattice and the projective closure of the class of finite nilpotent groups.

Finite orders and their minimal strict completion lattices

Gabriela Hauser Bordalo, Bernard Monjardet (2003)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Whereas the Dedekind-MacNeille completion D(P) of a poset P is the minimal lattice L such that every element of L is a join of elements of P, the minimal strict completion D(P)∗ is the minimal lattice L such that the poset of join-irreducible elements of L is isomorphic to P. (These two completions are the same if every element of P is join-irreducible). In this paper we study lattices which are minimal strict completions of finite orders. Such lattices are in one-to-one correspondence with finite...
