Mareike Massow, Technische Universitat Berlin
Diametral Pairs of Linear Extensions

Abstract: Let a finite partially ordered set (or poset) P be given. We are interested in the family of its linear extensions (LEs). The distance between two LEs L_1 and L_2 of P is the number of incomparable pairs appearing in different orders in L_1 and L_2. A pair of LEs maximizing this distance among all pairs of LEs of P is called a diametral pair. This talk will be about properties of diametral pairs. It is based on joint work with Graham Brightwell.
