Cutsets and anti-chains in linear lattices
چکیده انگلیسی

Consider the poset, ordered by inclusion, of subspaces of a four-dimensional vector space over a field with 2 elements. We prove that, for this poset, any cutset (i.e., a collection of elements that intersects every maximal chain) contains a maximal anti-chain of the poset. In analogy with the same result by Duffus, Sands, and Winkler [D. Duffus, B. Sands, P. Winkler, Maximal chains and anti-chains in Boolean lattices, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 3 (2) (1990) 197–205] for the subset lattice, we conjecture that the above statement holds in any dimension and for any finite base field, and we prove some special cases to support the conjecture.
