Residuation in modular lattices and posets
Ivan Chajda, Helmut Länger · Asian-European Journal of Mathematics · 2019
We show that every complemented modular lattice can be converted into a left residuated lattice where the binary operations of multiplication and residuum are term operations. The concept of an operator left residuated poset was introduced by the authors recently. We show that every strongly modular poset with complementation as well as every strictly modular poset with complementation can be organized into an operator left residuated poset in such a way that the corresponding operators [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can be expressed by means of the operators [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] in posets. We describe connections between the operator left residuation in these posets and the residuation in their lattice completion. We also present examples of strongly modular and strictly modular posets.
