Lattice of subgroups

Hasse diagram of the lattice of subgroups of the dihedral group Dih4, with the subgroups represented by their cycle graphs

In mathematics, the lattice of subgroups of a group is the lattice whose elements are the subgroups of , with the partial ordering being set inclusion. In this lattice, the join of two subgroups is the subgroup generated by their union, and the meet of two subgroups is their intersection.
