International audience We introduce a new method for showing that the roots of the characteristic polynomial of a finite lattice are all nonnegative integers. Our method gives two simple conditions under which the characteristic polynomial factors. We will see that Stanley's Supersolvability Theorem is a corollary of this result. We can also use this method to demonstrate a new result in graph theory and give new proofs of some classic results concerning the Möbius function.

AbstractWe initiate the study of the enumerative combinatorics of the intervals in the Dyck pattern poset. More specifically, we find some closed formulas to express the size of some specific intervals, as well as the number of their covering relations. In most of the cases, we are also able to refine our formulas by rank. We also provide the first results on the Möbius function of the Dyck pattern poset, giving for instance a closed expression for the Möbius function of initial intervals whose maximum is a Dyck path having exactly two peaks.

AbstractLet and ℳ be subsets of a finite lattice L. is said to be concordant with ℳ if, for every element x in L, either x is in ℳ or there exists an element x+ such that (CS1) the Möbius function μ(x, x+) ≠ 0 and (CS2) for every element j in , x ∨ j ≠ x+. We prove that if is concordant with ℳ, then the incidence matrix I(ℳ | ) has maximum possible rank ||, and hence there exists an injection σ: → ℳ such that σ(j) ≥ j for all j in . Using this, we derive several rank and covering inequalities in finite lattices. Among the results are generalizations of the Dowling-Wilson inequalities and Dilworth's covering theorem to semimodular lattices, and a refinement of Dilworth's covering theorem for modular lattices.
