For a connected finite poset $P$, let $E(P)$ be the poset induced by the extremal points of $P$. We show that the fixed point property of $E(P)$ implies the fixed point property of $P$. On the other hand, we show that a homomorphism $f :…
Motivated by the theory of correspondence functors, we introduce the notion of {\em germ} in a finite poset, and the notion of {\em germ extension} of a poset. We show that any finite poset admits a largest germ extension called its {\em…
This paper investigates the intersection of residuated structures from many-valued logic and orthomodular lattices from quantum logic. We explore whether non-Boolean structures can simultaneously satisfy residuation principles and…
Given a Boolean algebra B and an embedding e:B -> P(N)/fin we consider the possibility of extending each or some automorphism of B to the whole P(N)/fin. Among other things, we show, assuming CH, that for a wide class of Boolean algebras…
Starting from the data of an arbor, which is a rooted tree with vertices decorated by disjoint sets, we introduce a lattice polytope and a partial order on its lattice points. We give recursive algorithms for various classical invariants of…
For a certain class of finite posets, we prove that all their irreducible orthoscalar representations are finite-dimensional and describe those, for which there exist essential (non-degenerate) irreducible orthoscalar representations.
Assume that a normed lattice $E$ is order dense majorizing of a vector lattice $E^t$. There is an extension norm $\Vert.\Vert_t$ for $E^t$ and we extend some lattice and topological properties of normed lattice $(E,\Vert.\Vert)$ to new…
We investigate a poset structure that extends the weak order on a finite Coxeter group $W$ to the set of all faces of the permutahedron of $W$. We call this order the facial weak order. We first provide two alternative characterizations of…
The problem is considered as to whether a monotone function defined on a subset P of a Euclidean space can be strictly monotonically extended to the whole space. It is proved that this is the case if and only if the function is {\em…
We develop a powerful tool for embedding any tree poset $P$ of height $k$ in the Boolean lattice which allows us to solve several open problems in the area. We show that: * If $H$ is a family in $B_n$ with $|H|\ge (q-1+\varepsilon){n\choose…
We prove that if $e$ is a join-irreducible element of a semimodular lattice $L$ of finite length and $h<e$ in $L$ such that $e$ does not cover $h$, then $e$ can be "lowered" to a covering of $h$ by taking a length-preserving semimodular…
In this note we introduce the poset of $m$-multichains of a given poset $\mathcal{P}$. Its elements are the multichains of $\mathcal{P}$ consisting of $m$ elements, and its partial order is the componentwise partial order of $\mathcal{P}$.…
Posets which are retract of products of chains are characterized by means of two properties: \emph{the chain-gap property} and \emph{the selection property} (Rival and Wille, 1981 \cite {R-W}). Examples of posets with the selection property…
We study $r$-differential posets, a class of combinatorial objects introduced in 1988 by the first author, which gathers together a number of remarkable combinatorial and algebraic properties, and generalizes important examples of ranked…
The coefficients of the chain polynomial of a finite poset enumerate chains in the poset by their number of elements. It has been a challenging open problem to determine which posets have real-rooted chain polynomials. Two new classes of…
We propose a matrix approach for generating naturally labeled posets by representing each poset $P$ on the set $[n]$ as a Boolean poset matrix $A$. This algebraic representation enables a systematic handling of partial orderings through…
We study contact posets and show that every contact poset can be embedded into a Boolean poset with overlap contact relation. Contact posets and (nonadditive) contact semilattices have the superamalgamation property, Fra\"\i ss\'e limits…
We introduce two polynomials (in $q$) associated with a finite poset $P$ that encode some information on the covering relation in $P$. If $P$ is a distributive lattice, and hence $P$ is isomorphic to the poset of dual order ideals in a…
We define a natural lattice structure on all subsets of a finite root system that extends the weak order on the elements of the corresponding Coxeter group. For crystallographic root systems, we show that the subposet of this lattice…
A famous theorem of Dilworth asserts that any finite poset of width $k$ can be decomposed into $k$ chains. We study the following problem: given a Borel poset $P$ of finite width $k$, is it true that it can be decomposed into $k$ Borel…
