Let $L$ be a finite lattice with least element $\hat{0}$, greatest element $\hat{1}$, and Möbius function $\mu$. *Question 1*: What class of lattices the following property characterizes? $$\mu(\hat{0},a)=\mu(\hat{0},\hat{1})\mu(a,\hat{1}), \ \forall a \in L$$ It follows that $\mu(\hat{0},\hat{1}) = \pm1$. *Remark*: It is satisfied by any boolean lattice, more generally by the face lattice of any convex polytope (as suggested by John Shareshian), and more generally by any [Eulerian lattice][1]. *Proof*: An Eulerian lattice is a graded lattice $L$ such that for any $a,b \in L$ with $a \le b$, we have $\mu(a,b)= (-1)^{|b|-|a|} $, with $a \mapsto |a|$ the rank function. The result is immediate. $\square$ *Question 2*: Is there a non-Eulerian lattice with the above property on the Möbius function? **Yes**, see the answer of John Machacek. As suggested by Sam Hopkins: *Question 3*: Is there a non-Eulerian *atomistic* lattice with the above property on the Möbius function? *No* for $|L| \le 12$, as checked by the following Sage program (using [these lists](http://www.shsu.edu/mem037/Lattices.html) of Martin Malandro): from itertools import product def relationtest(L,n): for l in L: P=Poset((range(n),l)) b = P.bottom() t = P.top() if all(P.moebius_function(b,x) == P.moebius_function(b,t)*P.moebius_function(x,t) for x in P): L=LatticePoset(P) if L.is_atomic(): if not L.is_graded(): print(P.cover_relations()) if L.is_graded(): for x, y in product(P, P): if P.compare_elements(x,y)==-1: if not P.moebius_function(x,y)==(-1)^(P.rank(y)-P.rank(x)): print(P.cover_relations()) break [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eulerian_poset
