Semidistrim Lattices

We introduce semidistrim lattices, a simultaneous generalization of semidistributive and trim lattices that preserves many of their common properties. We prove that the elements of a semidistrim lattice correspond to the independent sets in an associated graph called the Galois graph, that products...

Description
Summary:We introduce semidistrim lattices, a simultaneous generalization of semidistributive and trim lattices that preserves many of their common properties. We prove that the elements of a semidistrim lattice correspond to the independent sets in an associated graph called the Galois graph, that products and intervals of semidistrim lattices are semidistrim and that the order complex of a semidistrim lattice is either contractible or homotopy equivalent to a sphere.
