Thomas's multirank conjecture for linearizations

Let P\mathscr{P} be a finite poset, and let B1B_1 and B2B_2 be P\mathscr{P}-persistence sets. Write LB1L_{B_1} and LB2L_{B_2} for their linearizations, and let multirankLB(S1,S2)\mathrm{multirank}_{L_B}(S_1,S_2) denote the multirank associated with a pair of slices (S1,S2)(S_1,S_2). Thomas's multirank conjecture. If

multirankLB1(S1,S2)=multirankLB2(S1,S2)\mathrm{multirank}_{L_{B_1}}(S_1,S_2)=\mathrm{multirank}_{L_{B_2}}(S_1,S_2)

for all pairs of slices (S1,S2)(S_1,S_2), then

LB1LB2.L_{B_1}\cong L_{B_2}.

The statement asserts that multirank invariants completely determine the linearizations of finite-poset persistence sets. In the paper it is presented as Thomas's conjecture and is proved for the setting under consideration, so the claim is solved.
