Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the amazing world of the skew lattices
During the last years, several authors were interested on the study of specific properties of the skew lattices that relate to fundamental properties of lattices. Unlike what happens in lattices in general, in skew lattices the properties of distributivity and cancellation are independent. In fact, cancellation is related with the property of symmetry that indicates the instances of commutativity in a skew lattice.
A skew lattice is a set S equipped with two associative, idempotent binary operations v and ^ that satisfy the absorption laws (b ^ a)v a = a = a v (a ^ b) and their duals. The class of skew lattices forms a variety largely studied in the past twenty years motivated by semigroup theory and lattice theory. The following authors had a relevant role on its study.

Several are the tools to work with these algebras, some of them comprehending computer reasoning. Prover9 is an automated theorem prover for first-order and equational logic, and Mace4 searches for finite models and counterexamples. Click to get a LIST OF AXIOMS ready to use in Prover 9/Mace 4.
