On Boolean intervals of finite groups
Abstract
We prove a dual version of {\O}ystein Ore's theorem on distributive intervals in the subgroup lattice of finite groups, having a nonzero dual Euler totient . For any Boolean group-complemented interval, we observe that by the original Ore's theorem. We also discuss some applications in representation theory. We conjecture that is always nonzero for Boolean intervals. In order to investigate it, we prove that for any Boolean group-complemented interval , the graded coset poset is Cohen-Macaulay and the nontrivial reduced Betti number of the order complex is , so nonzero. We deduce that these results are true beyond the group-complemented case with . One observes that they are also true when is a Borel subgroup of .
