In 1989, Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il and Pudl\'ak posed the following challenging question: Do planar posets have bounded Boolean dimension? We show that every poset with a planar cover graph and a unique minimal element has Boolean dimension at most…

Planar graphs are the graphs with Dushnik-Miller dimension at most three (W. Schnyder, Planar graphs and poset dimension, Order 5, 323-343, 1989). Consider the intersection graph of interior disjoint axis parallel rectangles in the plane.…

In 1981, Kelly showed that planar posets can have arbitrarily large dimension. However, the posets in Kelly's example have bounded Boolean dimension and bounded local dimension, leading naturally to the questions as to whether either…

We show that the order dimension of the partial order of all finite subsets of $\kappa$ under set inclusion is ${\log}_{2}({\log}_{2}(\kappa))$ whenever $\kappa$ is an infinite cardinal. We also show that the order dimension of any locally…

The dimension of a partial order $P$ is the minimum number of linear orders whose intersection is $P$. There are efficient algorithms to test if a partial order has dimension at most $2$. In 1982 Yannakakis showed that for $k\geq 3$ to test…

Let $(X,\S)$ be a set system on an $n$-point set $X$. The \emph{discrepancy} of $\S$ is defined as the minimum of the largest deviation from an even split, over all subsets of $S \in \S$ and two-colorings $\chi$ on $X$. We consider the…

We show that for every large enough integer $N$, there exists an $N$-point subset of $L_1$ such that for every $D>1$, embedding it into $\ell_1^d$ with distortion $D$ requires dimension $d$ at least $N^{\Omega(1/D^2)}$, and that for every…

Given a nonempty finite multiset $S$ of positive integers, we wish to find a partially ordered set $P$ of minimal cardinality such that the multiset of cardinalities of all maximal chains in $P$ equals $S$. This paper establishes upper and…

The partition problem is a well-known basic NP-complete problem. We mainly consider the optimization version of it in this paper. The problem has been investigated from various perspectives for a long time and can be solved efficiently in…

We show that height $h$ posets that have planar cover graphs have dimension $\mathcal{O}(h^6)$. Previously, the best upper bound was $2^{\mathcal{O}(h^3)}$. Planarity plays a key role in our arguments, since there are posets such that (1)…

We consider the set of monic irreducible polynomials $P$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that the multiplicative order modulo $P$ of some a in $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ is divisible by a fixed positive integer $d$. Call $R_q(a,d)$ this set.…

Let $U_0,U_1$ be two normal measures on $\kappa .$ We say that $U_0$ is in the Mitchell ordering less then $U_1,$ $U_0\vartriangleleft U_1,$ if $U_0 \in Ult(V,U_1) .$ The ordering is well-known to be transitive and well-founded. It has been…

Kahn and Kim (J. Comput. Sci., 1995) have shown that for a finite poset $P$, the entropy of the incomparability graph of $P$ (normalized by multiplying by the order of $P$) and the base-$2$ logarithm of the number of linear extensions of…

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,…

The dimension of a linear space is the maximum positive integer $d$ such that any $d$ of its points generate a proper subspace. For a set $K$ of integers at least two, recall that a pairwise balanced design PBD$(v,K)$ is a linear space on…

We show that the order dimension of the weak order on a Coxeter group of type A, B or D is equal to the rank of the Coxeter group, and give bounds on the order dimensions for the other finite types. This result arises from a unified…

We establish a conjecture of Defant, Hopkins, Poznanovi\'{c}, and Propp concerning the dimensions of toggleability spaces for products of chains, shifted staircases, type-A root posets, and type-B posets. Generalizing this result, we show…

Planar posets can have arbitrarily large dimension. However, a planar poset of height $h$ has dimension at most $192h+96$, while a planar poset with $t$ minimal elements has dimension at most $2t+1$. In particular, a planar poset with a…

In the early 1970's, Richard Stanley and Kenneth Johnson introduced and laid the groundwork for studying the order polynomial of partially ordered sets (posets). Decades later, Hamaker, Patrias, Pechenik, and Williams introduced the term…

A collection of linear orders on $X$, say $\mathcal{L}$, is said to \emph{realize} a partially ordered set (or poset) $\mathcal{P} = (X, \preceq)$ if, for any two distinct $x,y \in X$, $x \preceq y$ if and only if $x \prec_L y$, $\forall L…
