We show that the multiplicative structure alone determines the algebra automorphisms of the incidence algebra. We present a formula that expresses the complexity of the incidence monoid with respect to the two sided action of its maximal torus in terms of the zeta polynomial of the poset. In addition, we characterize the finite (connected) posets whose incidence monoids have complexity $\\leq 1$. Finally, we determine the covering relations of the adherence order on the incidence monoid of a star poset.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-05-20T15:18:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "incidence monoid", "complexity", "incidence algebra", "algebraic monoid structure", "star poset" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
