The Strong Independence Theorem for Automorphism Groups and Congruence Lattices
of Finite Lattices

G. Gr\"atzer

The Independence Theorem for the congruence
lattice and the automorphism group of a finite lattice
was proved by V.~A. Baranski\u\i\ and A.~Urquhart.
Both proofs utilize the characterization theorem of
congruence lattices of finite lattices (as finite
distributive lattices) and the characterization
theorem of automorphism groups of finite lattices (as
finite groups).

In this paper, we introduce a new, stronger form of 
independence.
