How is the free modular lattice on 3 generators related to 8-dimensional space?

Edited to be more of an answer. But, unfortunately, to be quite wrong. I apologize for having been borne away by my enthusiasm. The picture of the free modular lattice above shows thirty elements. …

Finite lattices whose number of join-irreducibles does not exceed its height

Join semi-distributive lattices don't have this property because weak order on $S_n$ is join semi-distributive and doesn't have this property. (Eg, for $n=3$.) Lattices satisfying the property you a …

Enumerative characterisation of boolean lattices

Define a ground set $X$ of size $2^{n-1}$. Now choose $2^{n-1}-(n-1)$ subsets of $X$, each of size at least 2, such that the sum of their sizes is $(n-2)2^{n-1}+2$ (so the average size is slightly mo …
