We show that there are four infinite prime graphs such that every infinite prime graph with no infinite clique embeds one of these graphs. We derive a similar result for infinite prime posets with no infinite chain or no infinite antichain.

We consider 'supersaturation' problems in partially ordered sets (posets) of the following form. Given a finite poset $P$ and an integer $m$ greater than the cardinality of the largest antichain in $P$, what is the minimum number of…

The order and chain polytopes, introduced by Richard P. Stanley, form a pair of Ehrhart equivalent polytopes associated to a given finite poset. A conjecture by Takayuki Hibi and Nan Li states that the $f$-vector of the chain polytope…

A graph is "$H$-free" if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to $H$. A conjecture of Conlon, Fox and Sudakov states that for every graph $H$, there exists $s>0$ such that in every $H$-free graph with $n>1$ vertices, either some vertex has…

In this paper, we characterize chordal and perfect zero-divisor graphs of finite posets. Also, it is proved that the zero-divisor graphs of finite posets and the complement of zero-divisor graphs of finite $0$-distributive posets satisfy…

Recently, Kitaev and Remmel posed a conjecture concerning the generating function for the number of unlabeled $(2+2)$-free posets with respect to number of elements and number of minimal elements. In this paper, we present a combinatorial…

We consider partially ordered sets of combinatorial structures under consecutive orders, meaning that two structures are related when one embeds in the other such that `consecutive' elements remain consecutive in the image. Given such a…

In classical set theory, the ordinals form a linear chain that we often think of as a very thin portion of the set-theoretic universe. In intuitionistic set theory, however, this is not the case and there can be incomparable ordinals. In…

We describe some metric properties of incomparability graphs. We consider the problem of the existence of infinite paths, either induced or isometric, in the incomparability graph of a poset. Among other things, we show that if the…

We show that every poset P=(P,\le) satisfying the Ascending Chain Condition can be isomorphically embedded into the poset of all mappings from P to the set A(P) of all antichains of P equipped with a certain partial order relation. This…

We provide precise asymptotics for the number of antichains in the poset $\{0,1,2\}^n$, answering a question of Sapozhenko. Finding improved estimates for this number was also a problem suggested by Noel, Scott, and Sudakov, who obtained…

The Akbari-Cameron-Khosrovshahi (ACK) conjecture, which appears to be unresolved, states that for any simple graph $G$ with at least one edge, there exists a nonzero {$\{0,1\}$}-vector in the row space of its adjacency matrix that is not a…

After fixing a canonical ordering (or labeling) of the elements of a finite poset, one can associate each linear extension of the poset with a permutation. Some recent papers consider specific families of posets and ask how many linear…

It has been known for more than 40 years that there are posets with planar cover graphs and arbitrarily large dimension. Recently, Streib and Trotter proved that such posets must have large height. In fact, all known constructions of such…

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…
