Let W be a Weyl group whose type is a simply laced Dynkin diagram. On several W -orbits of sets of mutually commuting reflections, a poset is described which plays a role in linear representations of the corresponding Artin group A. The poset generalizes many properties of the usual order on positive roots of W given by height. In this paper, a linear representation of the positive monoid of A ...

The symmetric group Sn acts naturally on the poset of injective words over the alphabet {1, 2, . . . , n}. The induced representation on the homology of this poset has been computed by Reiner and Webb. We generalize their result by computing the representation of Sn on the homology of all rank-selected subposets, in the sense of Stanley. A further generalization to the poset of r-colored inject...

We use the theory of poset resolutions to construct the minimal free resolution of an arbitrary stable monomial ideal in the polynomial ring whose coefficients are from a field. This resolution is recovered by utilizing a poset of Eliahou-Kervaire admissible symbols associated to a stable ideal. The structure of the poset under consideration is quite rich and in related analysis, we exhibit a r...

Brualdi et al. introduced the concept of poset codes, and gave an example of poset structure which admits the extended binary Hamming code to be a double-error-correcting perfect P-code. Our study is motivated by this example. In this paper we classify all poset structures which admit the extended binary Hamming code to be a double or triple-error-correcting perfect P-code. © 2004 Elsevier B.V....

Let Q(k, l) be a poset whose Hasse diagram is a regular spider with k+1 legs having the same length l (cf. Fig. 1). We show that for any n ≥ 1 the nth cartesian power of the spider poset Q(k, l) is a Macaulay poset for any k ≥ 0 and l ≥ 1. In combination with our recent results [2] this provides a complete characterization of all Macaulay posets which are cartesian powers of upper semilattices,...

We study differential posets, a family of partially ordered sets discovered by Richard Stanley. In the first half of this paper we present an introduction to poset theory as relevant to differential posets and theorems on the structure and combinatorial properties of differential posets, culminating in the explicit definition of a new differential poset. In the second half we focus on Young’s l...

A t-box representation of a graph encodes each vertex as a box in t-space determined by the (integer) coordinates of its lower and upper corner, such that vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding boxes intersect. The boxicity of a graph G is the minimum t for which this can be done; equivalently, it is the minimum t such that G can be expressed as the intersection graph of interva...
