On intervals of the consecutive pattern poset

Sergi Elizalde Peter R. W. McNamara

Abstrak

The consecutive pattern poset is the infinite partially ordered set of all permutations where σ ≤ τ if τ has a subsequence of adjacent entries in the same relative order as the entries of σ. We study the structure of the intervals in this poset from topological, poset-theoretic, and enumerative perspectives. In particular, we prove that all intervals are rank-unimodal and strongly Sperner, and we characterize disconnected and shellable intervals. We also show that most intervals are not shellable and have Mo ̈bius function equal to zero.
