Abstract:
A complete list of subdirectly irreducible modular (Arguesian) lattices generated by a frame of order $n \geq 4\;(n \geq 3)$ is given. Also, it is shown that a modular lattice variety containing the rational projective geometries cannot be both finitely based and generated by its finite dimensional members.References
