Shellability of noncrossing partition lattices

Combinatorics 2007-05-23 v1 Group Theory

Abstract

We give a case-free proof that the lattice of noncrossing partitions associated to any finite real reflection group is EL-shellable. Shellability of these lattices was open for the groups of type DnD_n and those of exceptional type and rank at least three.
