Möbius-value conjecture for staircase partition posets
Möbius-value conjecture for staircase partition posets
Let be a partition with repeating elements, and let be the associated poset of staircase matrices. Denote its Möbius function by for comparable elements and . Möbius-value conjecture. For all comparable elements and in , one has . The conjecture has been verified in several specific cases and is important for determining coefficients in the Cauchy identity for staircase matrices; it follows from the shellability conjecture above.
