Symmetric chain decomposition of necklace posets

Combinatorics 2012-12-20 v3 Representation Theory

Abstract

A finite ranked poset is called a symmetric chain order if it can be written as a disjoint union of rank-symmetric, saturated chains. If PP is any symmetric chain order, we prove that Pn/ZnP^n/\mathbb{Z}_n is also a symmetric chain order, where Zn\mathbb{Z}_n acts on PnP^n by cyclic permutation of the factors.
