We present some results on combinatorial geometries (geometric lattices) in which closure is fine-closure. We prove that every interval of a line-closed geometry is line-closed. Furthermore, if every rank 3 interval of a geometry is line-closed, then the geometry is line-closed. This impfies that ev

โฆ Synopsis
In [4], line-closed combinatorial geometries were studied. Here, given a line-closed combinatorial geometry G(X), we determine all single point extensions of G(X) that are line-closed. Further, if H(X U r) is a line-closed geometry that is a smooth extension of G(X) we give a natural necessary and sufficient condition for every geometry between G and H to be line-closed.

In this paper, we show that the full algebraic combinatorial geometry is not a projective geometry, it is only semimodular, but the p-polynomial points give a projective subgeometry. Also, we show that the subgeometry can be coordinatized by a skew field, which is quotient ring of an Ore domain. As
