ABSTRACT

Let be a n-dimensional row vector space over a finite field For , let be a d- dimensional subspace of . denotes the set of all the spaces which are the subspaces of and not the subspaces of except . We define the partial order on by ordinary inclusion (resp. reverse inclusion), and then is a poset, denoted by (resp. ). In this paper we show that both and are finite atomic lattices. Further, we discuss the geometricity of and , and obtain their characteristic polynomials.
