Frankl's Conjecture for a subclass of semimodular lattices
Authors
Abstract:
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 having breadth at most two. We provide a very short proof of the Conjecture for the class of lattices having breadth at most two. This generalizes the results of Joshi, Waphare and Kavishwar as well as Czédli and Schmidt.

Frankl’s Conjecture for Large Semimodular and Planar Semimodular Lattices
A lattice L is said to satisfy (the lattice theoretic version of) Frankl’s conjecture if there is a join-irreducible element f ∈ L such that at most half of the elements x of L satisfy f ≤ x. Frankl’s conjecture, also called as union-closed sets conjecture, is well-known in combinatorics, and it is equivalent to the statement that every finite lattice satisfies Frankl’s conjecture. Let m denote...

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...

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...

This paper deals with the relations between graph automorphisms and direct factors of a semimodular lattice of locally finite length.
full textA 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...
