Canfield has conjectured that for all subgroups G of the automorphism group of the Boolean lattice B(n) (which can be regarded as the symmetric group S(n)) the quotient order B(n)/G is a symmetric chain order. We provide a straightforward proof of a generalization of a result of K. K. Jordan: namely, B(n)/G is an SCO whenever G is generated by powers of disjoint cycles. The symmetric chain decompositions of Greene and Kleitman provide the basis for partitions of these quotients.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-08-26T15:21:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "06A07", "05E18" ], "keywords": [ "symmetric chain order", "boolean lattice", "symmetric chain decompositions", "quotient order", "symmetric group" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1107.1098D" } } }
