The straightening theorem for irreducible continuous lattices with minimal elements

About 17 years old · traced to

Let LL be an irreducible and continuous lattice with minimal elements, and let nn be the cardinality of one of its affine references. An involutory anti-automorphism is a map ⊥:L→L\perp:L\rightarrow L that is order-reversing and satisfies ⊥2=id⁡L\perp^2=\operatorname{id}_L. Straightening theorem. There exists an involutory anti-automorphism ⊥:L→L\perp:L\rightarrow L such that (L,≤,⊥)(L,\leq,\perp) is a factorial lattice of type InI_n. The conjecture proposes that these lattice-theoretic axioms suffice to recover the orthocomplementation and factorial W∗W^*-lattice structure associated with a finite-dimensional Hilbert lattice; the source presents it as the strongest result sought and does not report a proof.
