The fish-scale conjecture for posets
Let be a poset containing no infinite antichain. A chain is a pairwise comparable subset of , and an antichain is a pairwise incomparable subset. Fish-scale conjecture. There exist a chain and a decomposition of the vertex set into antichains such that meets every antichain . The text identifies this as an open problem and notes that its dual follows from the infinite version of König’s theorem.
