We show that posets of bounded height whose cover graphs exclude a fixed graph as a topological minor have bounded dimension. This result was already proven by Walczak. However, our argument is entirely combinatorial and does not rely on…

Dorais asked for the maximum guaranteed size of a dimension $d$ subposet of an $n$-element poset. A lower bound of order $\sqrt{n}$ was found by Goodwillie. We provide a sublinear upper bound for each $d$. For $d=2$, our bound is…

We prove that every planar poset $P$ of height $h$ has dimension at most $192h + 96$. This improves on previous exponential bounds and is best possible up to a constant factor. We complement this result with a construction of planar posets…

Joret et al. proved that posets with cover graphs of treewidth at most 2 have dimension at most 1276. Their proof is long and very complex. We give a short and much simpler proof that the dimension of such posets is at most 12.

In $1941$ Dushnik and Miller introduced the concept of dimension of a poset. In $2020$ Bhavale and Waphare introduced the concept of an RC-lattice as a lattice in which all the reducible elements are lying on a chain. In this paper, we…

We study covering numbers and local covering numbers with respect to difference graphs and complete bipartite graphs. In particular we show that in every cover of a Young diagram with $\binom{2k}{k}$ steps with generalized rectangles there…

We prove that posets of bounded height whose cover graphs belong to a fixed class with bounded expansion have bounded dimension. Bounded expansion, introduced by Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il and Ossona de Mendez as a model for sparsity in graphs, is a…

Partially ordered sets (posets) play a universal role as an abstract structure in many areas of mathematics. For finite posets, an explicit enumeration of distinct partial orders on a set of unlabelled elements is known only up to a…

In this paper, we consider modular local polynomials. These functions satisfy modularity while they are locally defined as polynomials outside of an exceptional set. We prove an inequality for the dimension of the space of such forms when…

The queue number of a poset is the queue number of its cover graph when the vertex order is a linear extension of the poset. Heath and Pemmaraju conjectured that every poset of width $w$ has queue number at most $w$. The conjecture has been…

Polygon spaces have been studied extensively, and yet missing from the literature is a simple property that every polygon has: dimension. This is distinct (possibly) from the dimension of the ambient space in which the polygon lives. A…

Joret, Micek, Milans, Trotter, Walczak, and Wang recently asked if there exists a constant $d$ such that if $P$ is a poset with cover graph of $P$ of pathwidth at most $2$, then $\dim(P)\leq d$. We answer this question in the affirmative by…

Motivated by the study of the dimension of random posets, it was conjectured by Bollob\'as and Brightwell in 1997 that if $P$ is a finite poset whose cover graph contains at most one cycle then its order dimension is at most $3$. In this…

Twin-width is a new parameter informally measuring how diverse are the neighbourhoods of the graph vertices, and it extends also to other binary relational structures, e.g. to digraphs and posets. It was introduced just very recently, in…

It has been known for more than 40 years that there are posets with planar cover graphs and arbitrarily large dimension. Recently, Streib and Trotter proved that such posets must have large height. In fact, all known constructions of such…

For a finite partially ordered set we calculate the dimension of the variety of its subspace representations having fixed dimension vector. The dimension is given in terms of the Euler quadratic form associated with a partially ordered set,…

Previously, Erd\H{o}s, Kierstead and Trotter investigated the dimension of random height~$2$ partially ordered sets. Their research was motivated primarily by two goals: (1)~analyzing the relative tightness of the F\"{u}redi-Kahn upper…
