Complements in Modular and Semimodular LatticesGabriela Hauser Bordalo and Elias RodriguesCentro de Álgebra da Universidade de Lisboa (C.A.U.L.),Av. Professor Gama Pinto, 2, 1699 Lisboa Codex - PORTUGAL E-mail: mchauser@ptmat.lmc.fc.ul.pt Univ. da Madeira, Departamento de Matemática, Colégio dos Jesuitas, Largo do Município, 9000 Funchal - PORTUGAL E-mail: elias@dragoeiro.uma.pt Abstract: We study the relations between the complements of $a$ and $b$ when $a$ is covered by $b$ on finite upper-semimodular lattices and when $a<b$ on modular lattices. We give some results that generalize the well known properties of complements in distibutive lattices. From there, we derive a property of semisimple $R$-modules. Keywords: Modular lattices; semimodular lattices; complemented lattices. Classification (MSC2000): 06B, 06C Full text of the article:
