    Enumeration of saturated chains in Dyck lattices

    Get PDF
    We determine a general formula to compute the number of saturated chains in Dyck lattices, and we apply it to find the number of saturated chains of length 2 and 3. We also compute what we call the Hasse index (of order 2 and 3) of Dyck lattices, which is the ratio between the total number of saturated chains (of length 2 and 3) and the cardinality of the underlying poset.Comment: 9 page

    A Heyting Algebra on Dyck Paths of Type AA and BB

    Full text link
    In this article we investigate the lattices of Dyck paths of type AA and BB under dominance order, and explicitly describe their Heyting algebra structure. This means that each Dyck path of either type has a relative pseudocomplement with respect to some other Dyck path of the same type. While the proof that this lattice forms a Heyting algebra is quite straightforward, the explicit computation of the relative pseudocomplements using the lattice-theoretic definition is quite tedious. We give a combinatorial description of the Heyting algebra operations join, meet, and relative pseudocomplement in terms of height sequences, and we use these results to derive formulas for pseudocomplements and to characterize the regular elements in these lattices.Comment: Final version. 21 pages, 5 figure

    The Rank Enumeration of Certain Parabolic Non-Crossing Partitions

    Get PDF
    We consider mm-divisible non-crossing partitions of {1,2,…,mn}\{1,2,\ldots,mn\} with the property that for some t≤nt\leq n no block contains more than one of the first tt integers. We give a closed formula for the number of multi-chains of such non-crossing partitions with prescribed number of blocks. Building on this result, we compute Chapoton's MM-triangle in this setting and conjecture a combinatorial interpretation for the HH-triangle. This conjecture is proved for m=1m=1.Comment: 31 pages, 5 figures. Comments are welcom
