To every labeled poset (P, ω), one can associate a quasisymmetric generating function for its (P, ω)-partitions. We ask: when do two labeled posets have the same generating function? Since the special case corresponding to skew Schur function equality is still open, a complete classification of equality among (P, ω) generating functions is likely too much to expect. Instead, we determine necessary conditions and separate sufficient conditions for two labeled posets to have equal generating functions. We conclude with a classification of all equalities for labeled posets with small numbers of linear extensions.
Define B(n) to be the largest height of a polynomial in Z[x] dividing x n − 1. We formulate a number of conjectures related to the value of B(n) when n is of a prescribed form. Additionally, we prove a lower bound for B(p a q b ) where p, q are distinct primes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
