The combined work of Bousquet-M\'elou, Claesson, Dukes, Jel\'inek, Kitaev, Kubitzke and Parviainen has resulted in non-trivial bijections among ascent sequences, (2+2)-free posets, upper-triangular integer matrices, and pattern-avoiding…

We consider profunctors $f : P \promap Q$ between posets and introduce their {\em graph} and {\em ascent}. The profunctors $\Pro(P,Q)$ form themselves a poset, and we consider a partition $\cI \sqcup \cF$ of this into a down-set $\cI$ and…

We investigate analogues of alternating sign matrices, called partial alternating sign matrices. We prove bijections between these matrices and several other combinatorial objects. We use an analogue of Wieland's gyration on fully-packed…

We present an elegant bijection between standard Young tableaux with 2n cells and at most two rows, and pairs of standard Young tableaux of the same shape, with n+1 cells, where only the top row can have more than one cell.

We construct a natural map from the set [BG,BU(n)] into a set of characters of the Sylow p-subgroups of G and prove that this natural map is a surjection for all finite groups G of rank two. We show, furthermore, that this same natural map…

The goal of this paper is to deepen the study of multiplicative lattices in the sense of Facchini, Finocchiaro and Janelidze. We provide a sort of Prime Ideal Principle that guarantees that maximal implies prime in a variety of cases (among…

Let $(F,\le)$ be an ordered field and let $A,B$ be square matrices over $F$ of the same size. We say that $A$ and $B$ belong to the same archimedean class if there exists an integer $r$ such that the matrices $r A^T A-B^T B$ and $r B^T…

Dowling and Rhodes defined different lattices on the set of triples (Subset, Partition, Cross Section) over a fixed finite group G. Although the Rhodes lattice is not a geometric lattice, it defines a matroid in the sense of the theory of…

A bi-Heyting algebra validates the G\"odel-Dummett axiom $(p\to q)\vee (q\to p)$ iff the poset of its prime filters is a disjoint union of co-trees (i.e., order duals of trees). Bi-Heyting algebras of this kind are called bi-G\"odel…

A careful study is made of embeddings of posets which have a convex range. We observe that such embeddings share nice properties with the homomorphisms of more restrictive categories; for example, we show that every order embedding between…

Birkhoff's representation theorem for finite distributive lattices states that any finite distributive lattice is isomorphic to the lattice of order ideals (lower sets) of the partial order of the join-irreducible elements of the lattice.…

Given a group $G$ and a subgroup $H$, we let $\mathcal{O}_G(H)$ denote the lattice of subgroups of $G$ containing $H$. This paper provides a classification of the subgroups $H$ of $G$ such that $\mathcal{O}_{G}(H)$ is Boolean of rank at…

We consider various properties and manifestations of some sign-alternating univariate polynomials borne of right-triangular integer arrays related to certain generalizations of the Fibonacci sequence. Using a theory of the root geometry of…

In this paper we consider a general way of constructing profinite struc- tures based on a given framework - a countable family of objects and a countable family of recognisers (e.g. formulas). The main theorem states: A subset of a family…

We show that any primitive substitution tiling of the plane creates a separated net which is biLipschitz to the integer lattice. Then we show that if H is a primitive Pisot substitution in an Euclidean space, for every separated net Y, that…

We revisit the problem of Stone duality for lattices with various quasioperators, first studied in [14], presenting a fresh duality result. The new result is an improvement over that of [14] in two important respects. First, the…

We prove that the excedance relation on permutations defined by N. Bergeron and L. Gagnon actually extends to a congruence of the lattice on alternating sign matrices. Motivated by this example, we study all lattice congruences of the…

In recent papers we have studied refined enumerations of alternating sign matrices with respect to a fixed set of top and bottom rows. The present paper is a first step towards extending these considerations to alternating sign matrices…

The k-Young lattice Y^k is a weak subposet of the Young lattice containing partitions whose first part is bounded by an integer k>0. The Y^k poset was introduced in connection with generalized Schur functions and later shown to be…

The finite Young lattice $L(m, n)$ is rank-symmetric, rank-unimodal, and has the strong Sperner property. R. Stanley further conjectured that $L(m, n)$ admits a symmetric chain order. We show that the order structure on $L(m, n)$ is…
