Shareshian's EL-labeling conjecture for solvable subgroup lattices
Shareshian's EL-labeling conjecture for solvable subgroup lattices
Let be a finite solvable group, and let denote its subgroup lattice. Choose a chief series
A complement to a subgroup is a subgroup with and ; a chain of complements to this chief series is a chain
where is a complement to for each . Shareshian's EL-labeling conjecture. The lattice admits an -labeling whose descending chains are precisely the chains of complements to a chief series. This conjecture seeks an explicit shelling-type labeling whose descending chains realize the complement-chain basis underlying the topology of solvable subgroup lattices; the paper presents an EL-labeling, resolving the conjecture.
