Finite-width characterization of locally-finite distributive lattices with few ideal components
Finite-width characterization of locally-finite distributive lattices with few ideal components
Let be a locally-finite distributive lattice, and let be its set of prime filters. Let be the lattice of ideals of . A lattice has finite width when it contains no infinite antichains. Finite-width characterization. The lattice contains at most three connected components: one isomorphic to , perhaps one containing the empty ideal, and perhaps one containing the ideal of all prime filters, if and only if has finite width. This characterization is motivated by examples relevant to constructing RSK algorithms, including , , and skew-strip lattices. Determining whether the stated equivalence holds for all locally-finite distributive lattices remains open.
