Another research note

Let $L$ be a slim, planar, semimodular lattice (slim means that it does not contain ${\mathsf M}_3$-sublattices). We call the interval $I = [o, i]$ of $L$ \emph{rectangular}, if there are $u_l, u_r \in [o, i] - \{o,i\}$ such that $i = u_l \vee u_r$ and $o = u_l \wedge u_r$ where $u_l$ is to the left of $u_r$. \emph{The first result}: a rectangular interval of a rectangular lattice is a rectangular lattice. As an application, we get a recent result of G. Czédli. In a 2017 paper, G. Czédli introduced a very powerful diagram type for slim, planar, semimodular lattices, the \emph{$\mathcal{C}_1$-diagrams}. We revisit the concept of \emph{natural diagrams} I introduced with E.~Knapp about a dozen years ago. Given a slim rectangular lattice $L$, we construct its natural diagram in one simple step. \emph{The second result} shows that for a slim rectangular lattice, a~natural diagram is the same as a $\mathcal{C}_1$-diagram. Therefore, natural diagrams have all the nice properties of $\mathcal{C}_1$-diagrams.
