In [1] we introduced the notion of 'structured space', i.e. a space which locally resembles various algebraic structures. In [2] and [3] we studied some cohomology theories related to these space. In this paper we continue in this…

We use model theoretic techniques to construct explicit first-order axiomatizations for the classes of posets that can be represented as systems of sets, where the order relation is given by inclusion, and existing meets and joins of…

Any permutation in the finite symmetric group can be written as a product of simple transpositions $s_i = (i~i+1)$. For a fixed permutation $\sigma \in \mathfrak{S}_n$ the products of minimal length are called reduced decompositions or…

Let M be the generic poset, defined as the Fra\"iss\'e limit of the class of finite posets. We show that every countably infinite poset A can be embedded with coinfinite image into M so that each automorphism of the image of A extends…

In this paper we are using the poset representation to describe the complex answers given by IR systems after a clustering and ranking processes. The answers considered may be given by cartographical representations or by thematic sub-lists…

A measurable relation algebra is a relation algebra in which the identity element is a sum of atoms that can be measured in the sense that the "size" of each such atom can be defined in an intuitive and reasonable way (within the framework…

We define several sorts of mappings on a poset like monotone, strictly monotone, upper cone preserving and variants of these. Our aim is to characterize posets in which some of these mappings coincide. We define special mappings determined…

Let $M(A,I)$ be a free partially commutative monoid with involution and $G(A,I)$ be its quotient group, e.g. a right-angled Artin or Coxeter group. Given a system of word equations over $M(A,I)$ with recognizable constraints with input size…

We define a family of combinatorial objects, which we call Baxter posets. We prove that Baxter posets are counted by the Baxter numbers by showing that they are the adjacency posets of diagonal rectangulations. Given a diagonal…

A special inverse monoid is one defined by a presentation where all the defining relations have the form $r = 1$. By a result of Ivanov Margolis and Meakin the word problem for such an inverse monoid can often be reduced to the word problem…

Morphisms are homomorphisms under the concatenation operation of the set of words over a finite set. Changing the elements of the finite set does not essentially change the morphism. We propose a way to select a unique representing member…

In a Coxeter group $W$, an element is fully commutative if any two of its reduced expressions can be linked by a series of commutation of adjacent letters. These elements have particularly nice combinatorial properties, and also index a…

A poset-stratified space is a pair $(S, S \xrightarrow \pi P)$ of a topological space $S$ and a continuous map $\pi: S \to P$ with a poset $P$ considered as a topological space with its associated Alexandroff topology. In this paper we show…

For any finite Coxeter group W, we introduce two new objects: its cutting poset and its biHecke monoid. The cutting poset, constructed using a generalization of the notion of blocks in permutation matrices, almost forms a lattice on W. The…

The support poset of a monomial ideal $I\subseteq\mathbf{k}[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ encodes the relation between the variables $x_1,\dots,x_n$ and the minimal monomial generators of $I$. It is known that not every poset is realizable as the support…

An involution in a Coxeter group has an associated set of involution words, a variation on reduced words. These words are saturated chains in a partial order first considered by Richardson and Springer in their study of symmetric varieties.…

For a finite Coxeter group, a subword complex is a simplicial complex associated with a pair (Q, \pi), where Q is a word in the alphabet of simple reflections, $\pi$ is a group element. We discuss the transformations of such a complex…

Given a finite alphabet X and an ordering on the letters, the map \sigma sends each monomial on X to the word that is the ordered product of the letter powers in the monomial. Motivated by a question on Groebner bases, we characterize…

We show that the separative quotient of the poset (P(L),\subset) of isomorphic suborders of a countable scattered linear order L is \sigma-closed and atomless. So, under the CH, all these posets are forcing-equivalent (to P(\omega)/Fin).
