The 3D object shown below on the left is a lattice describing the
subgroups of Z/4Z x Z/2Z x Z/2Z, ordered by inclusion. The picture on
the right is the Hasse diagram describing the inclusion relations of
the subsets of a multiset of type (2,1,1). When the 3D picture is
oriented correctly, the pictures suggest an order preserving
surjection from the lattice of subgroups onto the multiset lattice.
Drag your mouse on the left hand picture to change orientation.
More information about these sets can be found on Lynne Butler's undergraduate
research page. The Java 3D viewer was written by Daeron Meyer at the Geometry Center.
