Sperner theory is one of the most important branches in extremal set theory. It has many applications in the field of operation research, computer science, hypergraph theory and so on. The LYM property has become an important tool for…
Sperner's bound on the size of an antichain in the lattice P(S) of subsets of a finite set S has been generalized in three different directions: by Erdos to subsets of P(S) in which chains contain at most r elements; by Meshalkin to certain…
Aydinian et al. [J. Combinatorial Theory A 118(2)(2011), 702-725] substituted the usual BLYM inequality for L-Sperner families with a set of M inequalities for $(m_1,m_2,...,m_M;L_1,L_2,...,L_M)$ type M-part Sperner families and showed that…
The finite Young lattice $L(m, n)$ is rank-symmetric, rank-unimodal, and has the strong Sperner property. R. Stanley further conjectured that $L(m, n)$ admits a symmetric chain order. We show that the order structure on $L(m, n)$ is…
We introduce the notion of set-decomposition of a normal G-flat chain. We show that any normal rectifiable $G$-flat chain admits a decomposition in set-indecomposable sub-chains. This generalizes the decomposition of sets of finite…
The Boolean lattice $2^{[n]}$ is the family of all subsets of $[n]=\{1,\dots,n\}$ ordered by inclusion, and a chain is a family of pairwise comparable elements of $2^{[n]}$. Let $s=2^{n}/\binom{n}{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}$, which is the average…
The paper is devoted to an adaptation of author's approach to Leray theorems in bounded cohomology theory to infinite chains. The main results are a stronger and more general form of Gromov's Vanishing-finiteness theorem and a…
A family ${\mathcal A} \subset {\mathcal P} [n]$ is said to be an antichain if $A \not \subset B$ for all distinct $A,B \in {\mathcal A}$. A classic result of Sperner shows that such families satisfy $|{\mathcal A}| \leq \binom {n}{\lfloor…
How large an antichain can we find inside a given downset in the lattice of subsets of [n]? Sperner's theorem asserts that the largest antichain in the whole lattice has size the binomial coefficient C(n, n/2); what happens for general…
The reduced density matrix of many-body systems possessing an additive conserved quantity can be decomposed in orthogonal sectors which can be independently analyzed. Recently, these have been proven to equally contribute to entanglement…
Recall that in a laminar family, any two sets are either disjoint or contained one in the other. Here, a parametrized weakening of this condition is introduced. Let us say that a set system $\mathcal{F} \subseteq 2^X$ is $t$-laminar if $A,B…
Let M be a family of sequences (a_1,...,a_p) where each a_k is a flat in a projective geometry of rank n (dimension n-1) and order q, and the sum of ranks, r(a_1) + ... + r(a_p), equals the rank of the join a_1 v ... v a_p. We prove upper…
We introduce two families of inequalities. Large ensemble decoupling is connected to the continuous restriction phenomenon. Tight decoupling is connected to the discrete Restriction conjecture for the sphere. Our investigation opens new…
A linking system of difference sets is a collection of mutually related group difference sets, whose advantageous properties have been used to extend classical constructions of systems of linked symmetric designs. The central problems are…
Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of subsets of $[n]$ and $L$ be a subset of $[n]$. We say $\mathcal{F}$ is an $L$-differencing Sperner system if $|A\setminus B|\in L$ for any distinct $A,B\in\mathcal{F}$. Let $p$ be a prime and $q$ be a power…
Meshalkin's theorem states that a class of ordered p-partitions of an n-set has at most $\max \binom{n}{a_1,...,a_p}$ members if for each k the k'th parts form an antichain. We give a new proof of this and the corresponding LYM inequality…
We create a framework for studying symmetric chain decompositions of families of finite posets based on the geometry of polytopes. Our framework unifies almost all known results regarding symmetric chain decompositions of the Young posets…
A family $\mbox{$\cal F$}=\{F_1,\ldots,F_m\}$ of subsets of $[n]$ is said to be ordered, if there exists an $1\leq r\leq m$ index such that $n\in F_i$ for each $1\leq i\leq r$, $n\notin F_i$ for each $i>r$ and $|F_i|\leq |F_j|$ for each…
In this paper a novel criterion for the slicing of the jump set of a function is provided, which bypasses the codimension-one and the parallelogram law techniques developed in $BD$-spaces. The approach builds upon a recent rectifiability…
Addition chains are a classical construction for fast exponentiation and related computation problems. In this paper, we study a chain for a fixed integer $n$ by decomposing each generator into a \emph{determiner} and a \emph{regulator}…
