The Loewner order does not have the lattice property

1k Views Asked by At

How can we prove that the Loewner order does not have the lattice property?

I know that it does not but I couldn't find a reference included the proof. I would appreciate a proof or an address to it.

Theorem 1.1 of Nikolas Stott's paper states:

Two symmetric matrices cannot have a greatest lower bound in the Löwner order unless they are comparable in this order.

Partial orders with this property are also called "anti-lattices". The proof can be found in Theorem 6 of Kadison's paper.
