The countable width-two lattice decomposition conjecture
The countable width-two lattice decomposition conjecture
Let be a countable lattice of width two satisfying Whitman's condition, and let be a chain order-isomorphic to , its dual, or the chain
For each , let be the disjoint union of two chains and and the set , such that for every and , and .
The countable width-two lattice decomposition conjecture. The lattice is semidistributive and
Moreover, if in , and otherwise.
This conjecture proposes an explicit description of countable width-two lattices satisfying Whitman's condition; the source suggests that it may follow from a modification of the preceding arguments and may be easier to prove than Jónsson's conjecture. Its resolution is not supplied here.
