On distances and metrics in discrete ordered sets

Stephan Foldes, Sándor Radelecki (2021)

Mathematica Bohemica

Discrete partially ordered sets can be turned into distance spaces in several ways. The distance functions may or may not satisfy the triangle inequality and restrictions of the distance to finite chains may or may not coincide with the natural, difference-of-height distance measured in a chain. It is shown that for semilattices the semimodularity ensures the good behaviour of the distances considered. The Jordan-Dedekind chain condition, which is weaker than semimodularity, is equivalent to the...

On duality of submodule lattices

Gábor Czédli, Géza Takách (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

An elementary proof is given for Hutchinson's duality theorem, which states that if a lattice identity λ holds in all submodule lattices of modules over a ring R with unit element then so does the dual of λ.

On Goldie absolute direct summands in modular lattices

Rupal Shroff (2023)

Mathematica Bohemica

Absolute direct summand in lattices is defined and some of its properties in modular lattices are studied. It is shown that in a certain class of modular lattices, the direct sum of two elements has absolute direct summand if and only if the elements are relatively injective. As a generalization of absolute direct summand (ADS for short), the concept of Goldie absolute direct summand in lattices is introduced and studied. It is shown that Goldie ADS property is inherited by direct summands. A necessary...

On interval decomposition lattices

Stephan Foldes, Sándor Radeleczki (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Intervals in binary or n-ary relations or other discrete structures generalize the concept of interval in an ordered set. They are defined abstractly as closed sets of a closure system on a set V, satisfying certain axioms. Decompositions are partitions of V whose blocks are intervals, and they form an algebraic semimodular lattice. Lattice-theoretical properties of decompositions are explored, and connections with particular types of intervals are established.

On interval homogeneous orthomodular lattices

Anna de Simone, Mirko Navara, Pavel Pták (2001)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

An orthomodular lattice L is said to be interval homogeneous (resp. centrally interval homogeneous) if it is σ -complete and satisfies the following property: Whenever L is isomorphic to an interval, [ a , b ] , in L then L is isomorphic to each interval [ c , d ] with c a and d b (resp. the same condition as above only under the assumption that all elements a , b , c , d are central in L ). Let us denote by Inthom (resp. Inthom c ) the class of all interval homogeneous orthomodular lattices (resp. centrally interval homogeneous...

On Kalmbach measurability

A. B. d' Andrea, P. de Lucia, John David Maitland Wright (1994)

Applications of Mathematics

In this note we show that, for an arbitrary orthomodular lattice L , when μ is a faithful, finite-valued outer measure on L , then the Kalmbach measurable elements of L form a Boolean subalgebra of the centre of L .
