Slim lattice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In lattice theory, a mathematical discipline, a finite lattice is slim if no three join-irreducible elements form an antichain.[1] Every slim lattice is planar. A finite planar semimodular lattice is slim if and only if it contains no cover-preserving diamond sublattice M3 (this is the original definition of a slim lattice due to George Grätzer and Edward Knapp).[2]
