We shall investigate a certain class of finite lattices which we call supersolvable lattices (for a reason to be made clear shortly). These lattices L have a number of interesting combinatorial properties connected with the counting of chains in L, which can be formulated in terms of Mtibius functions. I am grateful to the referee for his helpful suggestions, which have led to more general results with simpler proofs.1.1. DEFINITION. Let L be a finite lattice and A a maximal chain of L. If, for every chain K of L, the sublattice generated by K and A is distributive, then we call A an M-chain of L; and we call (L, A) a supersolvable lattice (or SS-lattice). Sometimes, by abuse of notation, we refer to L itself as an SS-lattice, the M-chain A being tacitly assumed.
