We study the following problem: given a Borel poset $P$ of finite width $k$, is it true that it can be decomposed into $k$ Borel chains? We give a positive answer in a special case of Borel posets embeddable into the real line. We also prove a dual theorem for posets whose comparability graphs are locally countable.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-05T11:24:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dilworths theorem", "comparability graphs", "dilworth asserts", "finite width", "finite poset" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
