We present a method of computing the generating function $f_P(\x)$ of $P$-partitions of a poset $P$. The idea is to introduce two kinds of transformations on posets and compute $f_P(\x)$ by recursively applying these transformations. As an…

Tukey order are used to compare the cofinal complexity of partially order sets (posets). We prove that there is a $2^\mathfrak{c}$-sized collection of sub-posets in $2^\omega$ which forms an antichain in the sense of Tukey ordering. Using…

Hetyei introduced in 2019 the homogenized Linial arrangement and showed that its regions are counted by the median Genocchi numbers. In the course of devising a different proof of Hetyei's result, Lazar and Wachs considered another…

We initiate the study of model structures on (categories induced by) lattice posets, a subject we dub homotopical combinatorics. In the case of a finite total order $[n]$, we enumerate all model structures, exhibiting a rich combinatorial…

Classical problems of sorting and searching assume an underlying linear ordering of the objects being compared. In this paper, we study a more general setting, in which some pairs of objects are incomparable. This generalization is relevant…

In this thesis, we present quantitative Ramsey-type results in the setting of finite sets that are equipped with a partial order, so-called posets. A prominent example of a poset is the Boolean lattice $Q_n$, which consists of all subsets…

There is a well-known bijection between parking functions of a fixed length and maximal chains of the noncrossing partition lattice which we can use to associate to each set of parking functions a poset whose Hasse diagram is the union of…

In certain finite posets, the expected down-degree of their elements is the same whether computed with respect to either the uniform distribution or the distribution weighting an element by the number of maximal chains passing through it.…

We study signed differential posets, a signed version of differential posets. These posets satisfy enumerative identities which are signed analogues of those satisfied by differential posets. Our main motivations are the sign-imbalance…

In this paper we construct inverse bijections between two sequences of finite sets. One sequence is defined by planar diagrams and the other by lattice walks. G. Kuperberg has shown that the number of elements in these two sets are equal.…

Given an underlying undirected simple graph, we consider the set of all acyclic orientations of its edges. Each of these orientations induces a partial order on the vertices of our graph and, therefore, we can count the number of linear…

We employ the combinatorial atlas technology to prove new correlation inequalities for the number of linear extensions of finite posets. These include the approximate independence of probabilities and expectations of values of random linear…

A monoid $M$ generated by a set $S$ of symbols can be described as the set of equivalence classes of finite words in $S$ under some relations that specify when some contiguous sequence of symbols can be replaced by another. If $a,b\in S$, a…

For a finite poset $P$, we study the expected size of the intersection of two independent uniformly random antichains. Equivalently, we evaluate the sum of $|A\cap A'|$ over all ordered pairs of antichains. For general posets this statistic…

The classical 1991 result by Brightwell and Winkler states that the number of linear extensions of a poset is #P-complete. We extend this result to posets with certain restrictions. First, we prove that the number of linear extension for…

The $(P, \omega)$-partition generating function of a labeled poset $(P, \omega)$ is a quasisymmetric function enumerating certain order-preserving maps from $P$ to $\mathbb{Z}^+$. We study the expansion of this generating function in the…

In 2016, Hasebe and Tsujie gave a recursive characterization of the set of induced $N$-free and bowtie-free posets; Misanantenaina and Wagner studied these orders further, naming them "$\mathcal{V}$-posets". Here we offer a new…

The dimension of a partially ordered set $P$ (poset for short) is the least positive integer $d$ such that $P$ is isomorphic to a subposet of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with the natural product order. Dimension is arguably the most widely studied…
