In 1980, U. Faigle introduced a sort of finite geometries on posets that are in bijective correspondence with finite semimodular lattices. His result has almost been forgotten in lattice theory. Here we simplify the axiomatization of these geometries, which we call Faigle geometries. To exemplify their usefulness, we give a short proof of a theorem of Grätzer and E. Knapp (2009) asserting that each slim semimodular lattice L has a congruence-preserving extension to a slim rectangular lattice of the same length as L. As another application of Faigle geometries, we give a short proof of G. Grätzer and E.W. Kiss' result from 1986 (also proved by M. Wild in 1993, the present author and E.T. Schmidt in 2010, and B. Skublics in 2013) that each finite semimodular lattice L has an extension to a geometric lattice of the same length as L.
Keywords: Faigle geometry, semimodular lattice, planar semimodular lattice, rectangular lattice, congruence-preserving extension, slim semimodular lattice, geometric lattice, cover-preserving extension
