A note on planar semimodular lattices

In an earlier paper, we constructed all finite, planar, semimodular lattices in three simple steps from the direct product of two finite chains. In this note we prove that one of the three steps can be eliminated. The research of the first author was supported by the NSERC of Canada.     

Ideal extensions of lattices

Following the well-known Schreier extension of groups, the (ideal) extension of semigroups (without order) have been first considered by A. H. Clifford in Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 68 (1950), with a detailed exposition of the theory in the monographs of Clifford-Preston and Petrich. The main theorem of the ideal extensions of ordered semigroups has been considered by Kehayopulu and Tsingelis in Comm. Algebra 31 (2003). It is natural to examine the same problem for lattices. Following the ideal extensions of ordered semigroups, in this paper we give the main theorem of the ideal extensions of lattices. Exactly as in the case of semigroups (ordered semigroups), we approach the problem using translations. We start with a lattice L and a lattice K having a least element, and construct (all) the lattices V which have an ideal L′ which is isomorphic to L and the Rees quotient V|L′ is isomorphic to K. Conversely, we prove that each lattice which is an extension of L by K can be so constructed. An illustrative example is given at the end. The text was submitted by the author in English.     

Ortho and Causal Closure Operations in Ordered Vector Spaces

On a non-trivial partially ordered real vector space V the orthogonality relation is defined by incomparability and is a complete lattice of double orthoclosed sets. In an earlier paper we defined an integrally open ordered vector space V and proved orthomodularity of . We shall say that is an orthogonal set when for all with , we have . We consider two different closure operations and (ortho and causal closure) and prove: V is integrally open iff for every orthogonal set . Hence follows: if V is integrally open, then .

Collapsing monoids consisting of permutations and constants

In this paper we determine all collapsing transformation monoids that contain at least one unary constant operation and whose nonconstant operations are permutations. Furthermore, we find an infinite family of transformation monoids that consist of at least three unary constant operations and some permutations for which the corresponding monoidal intervals are 2-element chains.

Lattices of semigroup varieties

We survey a great number of results obtained during four decades of investigations on lattices of semigroup varieties and formulate several open problems.     

On the stability of the quadratic functional equation on bounded domains

A result of Skof and Terracini will be generalized; More precisely, we will prove that if a functionf : [-t, t]ⁿ →E satisfies the inequality (1) for some δ > 0 and for allx, y ∈ [-t, t]ⁿ withx + y, x - y ∈ [-t, t]ⁿ, then there exists a quadratic functionq: ℝⁿ →E such that ∥f(x) -q(x)∥ < (2912n² + 1872n + 334)δ for anyx ∈ [-t, t] ⁿ .     

Semidirect products of lattices

The semidirect product of lattices is a lattice analogue of the semidirect product of groups. In this article we introduce this construction, show some basic facts and study a class of lattices closed under semidirect products. We also generalise this notion presenting the semidirect product of semilattices. Received February 22, 2005; accepted in final form August 29, 2006.

One-dimensional quasiperiodic tilings admitting progressions enclosure

In this paper we consider one-dimensional quasiperiodic tilings based on the use of irrational rotations of a circle. We completely describe a wide class of progressions included in the mentioned tilings.     

On certain Mordell-Weil lattices of hyperelliptic type on rational surfaces

We study a class of rational hyperelliptic fibrations that can serve as a natural higher-genus analogue of rational elliptic fibrations from the standpoint of Mordell-Weil lattices. As a corollary, we obtain certain generalizations of the root lattices. We also describe the torsion part. Translated from Itogi Nauki i Tekhniki, Seriya Sovremennaya Matematika i Ee Prilozheniya.

Some varieties and convexities generated by fractal lattices

We introduce definitions of semifractal, 0–1-fractal, quasifractal and fractal lattices. A variety generated by a fractal lattice is called fractal generated, with analogous terminology for the other variants. We show that a semifractal generated nondistributive lattice variety cannot be of residually finite length. This easily implies that there are exactly continuously many lattice varieties which are not semifractal generated. On the other hand, for each prime field F, the variety generated by all subspace lattices of vector spaces over F is shown to be fractal generated. These countably many varieties and the class of all distributive lattices are the only known fractal generated lattice varieties at present. Four distinct countable distributive fractal lattices are given each of which generates . After showing that each lattice can be embedded in a quasifractal, continuously many quasifractals are given each of which has cardinality and generates the variety of all lattices. Semifractal considerations are applied to construct examples of convexities that include no minimal convexity, thus answering a question of Jakubík. (A convexity is a class of lattices closed under taking homomorphic images, convex sublattices and direct products, a notion due to Ervin Fried.)

Lattices of topologies of unary algebras of the variety $$ \mathcal{A}_{1,1} $$

We consider the variety of unary algebras 〈A, f, g〉 defined by the identities f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x. We describe algebras of this variety, whose topology lattices are modular, distributive, linearly ordered, complemented, or pseudocomplemented.     

A Cayley theorem for distributive lattices

A Cayley-like representation theorem for distributive lattices is proved. Support of the research of the first author by the Czech Government Research Project MSM 6198959214 is gratefully acknowledged.     

The operad of finite labeled tournaments

We study the operad of finite labeled tournaments. We describe the structure of suboperads of this operad generated by simple tournaments. We prove that a suboperad generated by a tournament with two vertices (i.e., the operad of finite linearly ordered sets) is isomorphic to the operad of symmetric groups, and a suboperad generated by a simple tournament with more that two vertices is isomorphic to the quotient operad of the free operad with respect to a certain congruence. We obtain this congruence explicitly.

The ortho-diameters of Nikol’skii and Besov classes in the Lorentz spaces

In this paper we estimate the order of approximation of S. M. Nikol’skii and O. V. Besov classes in the norm of the anisotropic Lorentz space. We also obtain bounds for ortho-diameters of these classes.     

On the semidistributivity of elements in weak congruence lattices of algebras and groups

Weak congruence lattices and semidistributive congruence lattices are both recent topics in universal algebra. This motivates the main result of the present paper, which asserts that a finite group G is a Dedekind group if and only if the diagonal relation is a join-semidistributive element in the lattice of weak congruences of G. A variant in terms of subgroups rather than weak congruences is also given. It is pointed out that no similar result is valid for rings. An open problem and some results on the join-semidistributivity of weak congruence lattices are also included.

Reconstruction of Function Fields

For k an algebraic closure of the finite field , ℓ prime distinct from p and X a surface over k, we prove that the field of rational functions k(X) can be recovered from the maximal pro-ℓ-quotient of its absolute Galois group – in fact already from the second central descending series quotient of .

Lectures on topology of words

We discuss a topological approach to words introduced by the author in [Tu2]–[Tu4]. Words on an arbitrary alphabet are approximated by Gauss words and then studied up to natural modifications inspired by the Reidemeister moves on knot diagrams. This leads us to a notion of homotopy for words. We introduce several homotopy invariants of words and give a homotopy classification of words of length five.
