Motivated by the geometry of certain hyperplane arrangements, Manin and Schechtman defined for each positive integer n a hierarchy of finite partially ordered sets B(n, k), indexed by positive integers k, called the higher Bruhat orders.…

Arrangements of pseudohyperplanes are widely studied in computational geometry. A rich subclass of pseudohyerplane arrangements, which has gained more attention in recent years, is the so-called signotopes. Introduced by Manin and…

In this paper, we extend Manin and Schechtman's higher Bruhat orders for the symmetric group to higher Bruhat orders for non-longest words $w$ in $S_n$. We prove that the higher Bruhat orders of non-longest words are ranked posets with…

We make explict a description in terms of convex geometry of the higher Bruhat orders B(n,d) sketched by Kapranov and Voevodsky. We give an analogous description of the higher Stasheff-Tamari poset S_1(n,d). We show that the map f sketched…

We introduce a new directed graph structure into the set of alternating sign matrices. This includes Bruhat graph (Bruhat order) of the symmetric groups as a subgraph (subposet). Drake-Gerrish-Skandera (2004, 2006) gave characterizations of…

The higher Bruhat orders $\mathcal{B}(n,k)$ were introduced by Manin-Schechtman to study discriminantal hyperplane arrangements and subsequently studied by Ziegler, who connected $\mathcal{B}(n,k)$ to oriented matroids. In this paper, we…

Borradaile et al. (2017) investigated orientations of an undirected graph in which the sequence of in-degrees of the nodes is lexicographically minimal, which we call decreasingly minimal (=dec-min). They proved that an orientation is…

The higher Bruhat orders are partial orders that generalize the weak order on the symmetric group $S_n$, and the second higher Bruhat order is a poset on commutation classes of reduced words for the longest element in $S_n$, where covering…

Fredman proposed in 1976 the following algorithmic problem: Given are a ground set $X$, some partial order $P$ over $X$, and some comparison oracle $O_L$ that specifies a linear order $L$ over $X$ that extends $P$. A query to $O_L$ has as…

An oriented graph is an orientation of a simple graph. In 2009, Keevash, K\"{u}hn and Osthus proved that every sufficiently large oriented graph $D$ of order $n$ with $(3n-4)/8$ is Hamiltonian. Later, Kelly, K\"{u}hn and Osthus showed that…

The topic is the average order of a connected induced subgraph of a graph. This generalizes, to graphs in general, the average order of a subtree of a tree. In 1984, Jamison proved that the average order, over all trees of order $n$, is…

We define a partial order $\mathcal{P}_n$ on permutations of any given size $n$, which is the image of a natural partial order on inversion sequences. We call this the ``middle order''. We demonstrate that the poset $\mathcal{P}_n$ refines…

The majorization relation orders the degree sequences of simple graphs into posets called dominance orders. As shown by Ruch and Gutman (1979) and Merris (2002), the degree sequences of threshold and split graphs form upward-closed sets…

Given a permutation P in Sn, let G(P) be the graph on n vertices {1,...,n}, where two vertices i<j are adjacent if i appears right of j in P and there are no integers k with i<k<j and k appearing between i and j in P. Let G'(P) be the graph…

Lehmer's code defines a bijection between the symmetric group and the set of staircase compositions. In this paper, we characterize a poset structure on these compositions that is equivalent to the strong Bruhat order on the symmetric…

The dimension of a partially-ordered set (poset), introduced by Dushnik and Miller (1941), has been studied extensively in the literature. Recently, Ueckerdt (2016) proposed a variation called local dimension which makes use of partial…

We determine the sharp asymptotic scale of the probability that two uniformly random permutations are comparable in weak Bruhat order, showing that $\mathbb{P}(\sigma_1 \preceq_W \sigma_2)=\exp\Bigl(\bigl(-\tfrac12+o(1)\bigr)\,n\log…

We investigate the ways in which fundamental properties of the weak Bruhat order on a Weyl group can be lifted (or not) to a corresponding highest weight crystal graph, viewed as a partially ordered set; the latter projects to the weak…

An ordered graph is a graph with a linear ordering on its vertex set. We prove that for every positive integer $k$, there exists a constant $c_k>0$ such that any ordered graph $G$ on $n$ vertices with the property that neither $G$ nor its…

A classical theorem of De Bruijn and Erd\H{o}s asserts that any noncollinear set of n points in the plane determines at least n distinct lines. We prove that an analogue of this theorem holds for graphs. Restricting our attention to…
