A note on “small representations of finite distributive lattices as congruence lattices”

G. Grätzer, H. Lakser, and E. T. Schmidt proved that every distributive lattice with n join-irreducible elements can be represented as the congruence lattice of a small lattice L, that is, a lattice L with O(n ² ) elements. G. Grätzer, I. Rival, and N. Zaguia proved that, for any <2, O(n ² ) can not be improved to O(n ). In this note we show that the theorem about small representation can be improved further to get a more delicate result.
