The unboundedness conjecture for glued posets

About 1 year old · traced to

Let P1\mathcal P_1 and P2\mathcal P_2 be finite posets, and let P2∗P1\mathcal P_2*\mathcal P_1 denote their gluing, obtained by placing every element of P1\mathcal P_1 below every element of P2\mathcal P_2. Let sat⁡∗(n,P)\operatorname{sat}^*(n,\mathcal P) denote the induced saturation number. Glued-poset unboundedness conjecture. The function sat⁡∗(n,P2∗P1)\operatorname{sat}^*(n,\mathcal P_2*\mathcal P_1) is unbounded if and only if at least one of P1\mathcal P_1 and P2\mathcal P_2 has unbounded saturation number. This would extend the paper's established result in the case where at least one glued poset has the unique cover twin property.
