Poonen's twin-free union-closed family conjecture
Poonen's twin-free union-closed family conjecture
Let be a finite union-closed family of sets with . Elements and are twins if every set satisfies ; the family is twin-free if it has no twins. Let be the largest set of . An element is abundant if it belongs to more than half of the sets of . Poonen's twin-free conjecture. If precisely one element is abundant, then consists exactly of all subsets of containing that element. This stronger structural conjecture is stated to remain open, and the paper reports little known about partial results.
