Uniquely complemented posets (Q1789052)

It is known that every complemented distributive poset is uniquely complemented, and that the converse statement (that uniquely complemented posets are distributive) fails even for lattices. This paper provides conditions that force a uniquely complemented poset to be distributive. In particular, the paper provides proofs that uniquely complemented posets are distributive in the following situations: (i) the poset is atomistic, (ii) the completely join-irreducible elements of the poset are atoms and the poset satisfies the descending chain condition, or (iii) the poset is modular and satisfies the descending chain condition.
