We study preorders on (equivalence classes of) maximal chains in the general context of polygonal lattices endowed with suitably nice edge labellings. We show that, given a quotient of polygonal lattices, such edge labellings descend to the…

Let L be a lattice admitting a left-modular chain of length r, not necessarily maximal. We show that if either L is graded or the chain is modular, then the (r-2)-skeleton of L is vertex-decomposable (hence shellable). This proves a…

We study chains in an $H$-closed topological partially ordered space. We give sufficient conditions for a maximal chain $L$ in an $H$-closed topological partially ordered space such that $L$ contains a maximal (minimal) element. Also we…

It is known that a graded lattice of rank n is supersolvable if and only if it has an EL-labelling where the labels along any maximal chain are exactly the numbers 1,2,...,n without repetition. These labellings are called S_n EL-labellings,…

For a partially ordered set P, we denote by Co(P) the lattice of order-convex subsets of P. We find three new lattice identities, (S), (U), and (B), such that the following result holds. Theorem. Let L be a lattice. Then L embeds into some…

We introduce and study the lattice of generalized partitions, called weighted partitions. This lattice possesses similar properties of the lattice of partitions. By use of the pictorial representation of a weighted partition, the total…

For a finite poset $P=(X,\prec)$, let $\mathcal{L}_P$ denote the set of linear extensions of $P$. The sorting probability $\delta(P)$ is defined as \[\delta(P) \, := \, \min_{x,y\in X} \, \bigl| \mathbf{P} \, [L(x)\leq L(y) ] \ - \…

Let $\Lambda$ be a finite-dimensional algebra over a field $K$. We describe how Buan and Marsh's $\tau$-exceptional sequences can be used to give a "brick labeling" of a certain poset of wide subcategories of finitely-generated…

The concept of a matroid quotient has connections to fundamental questions in the geometry of flag varieties. In previous work, Benedetti and Knauer characterized quotients in the class of lattice path matroids (LPMs) in terms of a simple…

Let $P$ be a partially ordered set. We prove that if $n$ is sufficiently large, then there exists a packing $\mathcal{P}$ of copies of $P$ in the Boolean lattice $(2^{[n]},\subset)$ that covers almost every element of $2^{[n]}$:…

We introduce the priority lattice, a structure arising from the priority search algorithm on rooted trees and forests. We prove bijectively that its maximal chains are labeled by parking functions, and that the maximal chains of its…

We investigate the poset (P(X),\subset), where P(X) is the set of isomorphic suborders of a countable ultrahomogeneous partial order X. For X different from (resp. equal to) a countable antichain the order types of maximal chains in…

We introduce in this paper the marked chain-order polytopes associated to a marked poset, generalizing the marked chain polytopes and marked order polytopes by putting them as extremal cases in an Ehrhart equivalent family. Some…

A remarkable result of Stanley shows that the set of maximal chains in the non-crossing partition lattice of type $A$ is Schur-positive, where descents are defined by a distinguished edge labeling. A bijection between these chains and…

If every block of a (compatible) tolerance (relation) $T$ on a modular lattice $L$ of finite length consists of at most two elements, then we call $T$ a \emph{doubling tolerance} on $L$. We prove that, in this case, $L$ and $T$ determines a…

In 2022, Defant and Kravitz introduced extended promotion (denoted $\partial$), a map that acts on the set of labelings of a poset. Extended promotion is a generalization of Sch\"{u}tzenberger's promotion operator, a well-studied map that…

Monotone triangles are a rich extension of permutations that biject with alternating sign matrices. The notions of weak order and descent sets for permutations are generalized here to monotone triangles, and shown to enjoy many analogous…

We revisit classic balancing problems for linear extensions of a partially ordered set $P$, proving results that go far beyond many of the best earlier results on this topic. For example, with $p(x\prec y)$ the probability that $x$ precedes…

We investigate the alternate order on a congruence-uniform lattice $\mathcal{L}$ as introduced by N. Reading, which we dub the core label order of $\mathcal{L}$. When $\mathcal{L}$ can be realized as a poset of regions of a simplicial…

It is argued that the electron stripes as found in correlated oxides have to do with an unrecognized form of order. The manifestation of this order is the robust property that the charge stripes are at the same time anti-phase boundaries in…
