Let P be a poset with elements 1,2,...,n. We say that P is sign-balanced if exactly half the linear extensions of P (regarded as permutations of 1,2,...,n) are even permutations, i.e., have an even number of inversions. This concept first…

Sign imbalance is a statistic on posets which counts the difference between the number of even and odd linear extensions. We prove complexity results about the sign imbalance and parity of linear extensions, focusing on the representative…

We conjecture a strong property for the up and down maps U and D in an r-differential poset: DU+tI and UD+tI have Smith normal forms over Z[t]. In particular, this would determine the integral structure of the maps U, D, UD, DU, including…

Let the sign of a standard Young tableau be the sign of the permutation you get by reading it row by row from left to right, like a book. A conjecture by Richard Stanley says that the sum of the signs of all SYTs with n squares is 2^[n/2].…

We introduce so-called consistent posets which are bounded posets with an antitone involution ' where the lower cones of x,x' and of y,y' coincide provided x,y are different form 0,1 and, moreover, if x,y are different form 0 then their…

We describe some open problems related to homology representations of subposets of the partition lattice, beginning with questions first raised in Stanley's work on group actions on posets.

Signed difference sets have interesting applications in communications and coding theory. A $(v,k,\lambda)$-difference set in a finite group $G$ of order $v$ is a subset $D$ of $G$ with $k$ distinct elements such that the expressions…

In this paper, we study partitions of positive integers into distinct quasifibonacci numbers. A digraph and poset structure is constructed on the set of such partitions. Furthermore, we discuss the symmetric and recursive relations between…

Let the sign of a skew standard Young tableau be the sign of the permutation you get by reading it row by row from left to right, like a book. We examine how the sign property is transferred by the skew Robinson-Schensted correspondence…

We introduce two new partial orders on the standard Young tableaux of a given partition shape, in analogy with the strong and weak Bruhat orders on permutations. Both posets are ranked by the major index statistic offset by a fixed shift.…

We introduce two partially ordered sets, $P^A_n$ and $P^B_n$, of the same cardinalities as the type-A and type-B noncrossing partition lattices. The ground sets of $P^A_n$ and $P^B_n$ are subsets of the symmetric and the hyperoctahedral…

We give a short proof of Sjostrand's sign-imbalance identity for skew shapes using the domino Cauchy identity.

By a result of Hemmer, every simple Specht module of a finite symmetric group over a field of odd characteristic is a signed Young module. While Specht modules are parametrized by partitions, indecomposable signed Young modules are…

Alternating sign matrices and totally symmetric self-complementary plane partitions are equinumerous sets of objects for which no explicit bijection is known. In this paper, we identify a subset of totally symmetric self-complementary plane…

In this paper we introduce and study the poset of equivalence classes of subgroups of a finite group $G$, induced by the isomorphism relation. This contains the well-known lattice of solitary subgroups of $G$. We prove that in several…

Stanley introduced in 1986 the order polytope and the chain polytope for a given finite poset. These polytopes contain much information about the poset and have given rise to important examples in polyhedral geometry. In 1993, Reiner…

Partitions with distinct even parts have long been the subject of extensive research. In this paper, We present some new perspectives on such partitions from a combinatorial viewpoint, and connect them with signed partitions and bicolored…

We solve the sign problem in a particle-hole symmetric spin-polarized fermion model on bipartite lattices using the idea of fermion bags. The solution can be extended to a class of models at half filling but without particle-hole symmetry.…

As algebraic semantics of the logic of quantum mechanics there are usually used orthomodular posets, i.e. bounded posets with a complementation which is an antitone involution and where the join of orthogonal elements exists and the…

In this paper, motivated by the classical notion of a Strebel qua- dratic differential on a compact Riemann surface without boundary, we in- troduce several classes of quadratic differentials (called non-chaotic, gradient, and positive…
