A lattice in the sense of a 3-dimensional array of regularly spaced points coinciding with e.g. the atom or molecule positions in a crystal, or more generally, the orbit of a group action under translational symmetry, is a translation of the translation lattice: a coset, which need not contain the origin, and therefore need not be a lattice in ...
A lattice is an abstract structure studied in the mathematical subdisciplines of order theory and abstract algebra.It consists of a partially ordered set in which every pair of elements has a unique supremum (also called a least upper bound or join) and a unique infimum (also called a greatest lower bound or meet).
Let be a locally compact group and a discrete subgroup (this means that there exists a neighbourhood of the identity element of such that = {}).Then is called a lattice in if in addition there exists a Borel measure on the quotient space / which is finite (i.e. (/) < +) and -invariant (meaning that for any and any open subset / the equality () = is satisfied).
Modular lattice: a lattice whose elements satisfy the additional modular identity. Distributive lattice: a lattice in which each of meet and join distributes over the other. Distributive lattices are modular, but the converse does not hold. Boolean algebra: a complemented distributive lattice. Either of meet or join can be defined in terms of ...
An algebraic lattice is complete. (def) 10. A complete lattice is bounded. 11. A heyting algebra is bounded. (def) 12. A bounded lattice is a lattice. (def) 13. A heyting algebra is residuated. 14. A residuated lattice is a lattice. (def) 15. A distributive lattice is modular. [3] 16. A modular complemented lattice is relatively complemented ...
Vectors and planes in a crystal lattice are described by the three-value Miller index notation. This syntax uses the indices h, k, and ℓ as directional parameters. [4] By definition, the syntax (hkℓ) denotes a plane that intercepts the three points a 1 /h, a 2 /k, and a 3 /ℓ, or some multiple thereof. That is, the Miller indices are ...
In abstract algebra, a residuated lattice is an algebraic structure that is simultaneously a lattice x ≤ y and a monoid x•y which admits operations x\z and z/y, loosely analogous to division or implication, when x•y is viewed as multiplication or conjunction, respectively. Called respectively right and left residuals, these operations ...
Hasse diagram of the noncrossing partition lattice on a 4 element set. The leftmost maximal chain is a chief chain. A group is supersolvable if and only if its lattice of subgroups is supersolvable. A chief series of subgroups forms a chief chain in the lattice of subgroups. [3] The partition lattice of a finite set is supersolvable.
