The lattice of flats of a boolean representable simplicial complex
Stuart Margolis, John Rhodes, Pedro V. Silva · International Journal of Algebra and Computation · 2018
It is shown that the lattices of flats of boolean representable simplicial complexes are always atomistic, but semimodular if and only if the complex is a matroid. A canonical construction is introduced for arbitrary finite atomistic lattices, providing a characterization of the lattices of flats of boolean representable simplicial complexes and a decidability condition. We remark that every finite lattice occurs as the lattice of flats of some simplicial complex.
