We determine the M\"obius function of the poset of compositions of an integer. In fact we give two proofs of this formula, one using an involution and one involving discrete Morse theory. The composition poset turns out to be intimately…

This is an introduction to the M\"obius function of a poset. The chief novelty is in the exposition. We show how order-preserving maps from one poset to another can be used to relate their M\"obius functions. We derive the basic results on…

The paper presents some results for reducing the computation of the M\"obius functon of a M\"obius category that arises from a combinatorial inverse semigroup to that of locally finite partially ordered sets. We illustrate the computation…

In this paper, we investigate the M{\"o}bius function $\mu\_{\mathcal{S}}$ associated to a (locally finite) poset arising from a semigroup $\mathcal{S}$ of $\mathbb{Z}^m$. We introduce and develop a new approach to study…

Let $S$ be a numerical semigroup and let $\left(\mathbb{Z},\leqslant\_S\right)$ be the (locally finite) poset induced by $S$ on the set of integers $\mathbb{Z}$ defined by $x \leqslant\_S y$ if and only if $y-x\in S$ for all integers $x$…

Using the stratifications of Deligne-Mumford moduli spaces $\overline{\mathcal M}_{g,n}$ indexed by stable graphs, we introduce a partially ordered set of stable graphs by defining a partial ordering on the set of connected stable graphs of…

We introduce a formal definition of a pattern poset which encompasses several previously studied posets in the literature. Using this definition we present some general results on the M\"obius function and topology of such pattern posets.…

This paper introduces and develops M\"obius homology, a homology theory for representations of finite posets into abelian categories. Although the connection between poset topology and M\"obius functions is classical, we go further by…

We consider the zeta and M\"obius functions of a partial order on integer compositions first studied by Bergeron, Bousquet-M\'elou, and Dulucq. The M\"obius function of this poset was determined by Sagan and Vatter. We prove rationality of…

We present a two term formula for the M\"obius function of intervals in the poset of all permutations, ordered by pattern containment. The first term in this formula is the number of so called normal occurrences of one permutation in…

The interval poset of a permutation is the set of intervals of a permutation, ordered with respect to inclusion. It has been introduced and studied recently in [B. Tenner, arXiv:2007.06142]. We study this poset from the perspective of the…

We study several aspects of the M\"{o}bius function, $\mu[\sigma,\pi]$, on the poset of permutations under the pattern containment order. First, we consider cases where the lower bound of the poset is indecomposable. We show that…

We study filters in the partition lattice formed by restricting to partitions by type. The M\"obius function is determined in terms of the easier-to-compute descent set statistics on permutations and the M\"obius function of filters in the…

The purpose of this paper is to give some explicit formulas involving M\"obius functions, which may be known under the generalized Riemann Hypothesis, but unconditional in this paper. Concretely, we prove explicit formulas of partial sums…

We introduce vincular pattern posets, then we consider in particular the quasi-consecutive pattern poset, which is defined by declaring $\sigma \leq \tau$ whenever the permutation $\tau$ contains an occurrence of the permutation $\sigma$ in…

An occurrence of a consecutive permutation pattern $p$ in a permutation $\pi$ is a segment of consecutive letters of $\pi$ whose values appear in the same order of size as the letters in $p$. The set of all permutations forms a poset with…

The set of all permutations, ordered by pattern containment, is a poset. We give a formula for the M\"obius function of intervals $[1,\pi]$ in this poset, for any permutation $\pi$ with at most one descent. We compute the M\"obius function…

In this paper, we will study the M\"obius polynomial, an invariant of ranked posets that arises in the study of splitting algebras. We will present a formula for the M\"obius polynomial of the direct product of posets in terms of the…

Recently, Merca and Schmidt proved a number of identities relating partitions of an integer with two classic number-theoretic functions, namely the M\"obius function and Euler's totient function. Their demonstrations were mainly algebraic.…

This paper studies the M\"obius function and related questions about the finiteness of the poset of submodules of semisimple and general modules. We show how to calculate the M\"obius function for semisimple modules based on endomorphism…
