Sparse Sperner conjecture for three central layers
Sparse Sperner conjecture for three central layers
Let be the Boolean lattice on , let denote the size of a largest layer of , and call the layers closest to the middle the central layers. For a function , consider antichains of size in .
Sparse Sperner conjecture. There exists a function such that if , then almost all antichains of size in are contained in three central layers.
This strengthens the proved result that the same conclusion holds for for an absolute constant . The conjectured threshold is motivated by the expected appearance of vertices two layers outside the middle, and the claim would follow from a suitable extension of the relevant container result to .
