  • Resumen
    • We prove a Fundamental Theorem of Finite Semidistributive Lattices (FTFSDL), modelled on Birkhoff’s Fundamental Theorem of Finite Distributive Lattices. Our FTFSDL is of the form “A poset L is a finite semidistributive lattice if and only if there exists a set with some additional structure, such that L is isomorphic to the admissible subsets of ordered by inclusion; in this case, and its additional structure are uniquely determined by L.” The additional structure on is a combinatorial abstraction of the notion of torsion pairs from representation theory and has geometric meaning in the case of posets of regions of hyperplane arrangements. We show how the FTFSDL clarifies many constructions in lattice theory, such as canonical join representations and passing to quotients, and how the semidistributive property interacts with other major classes of lattices. Many of our results also apply to infinite lattices.
