Echelonmotion realization of Dilworth's theorem for modular lattices

About 1 year old · traced to

Let LL be a modular lattice, and let σ\sigma be a linear extension of LL. For x∈Lx\in L, write Cov⁡L↑(x)\operatorname{Cov}_L^{\uparrow}(x) for the elements covering xx and Cov⁡L↓(x)\operatorname{Cov}_L^{\downarrow}(x) for the elements covered by xx; let Ech⁡σ\operatorname{Ech}_\sigma denote echelonmotion with respect to σ\sigma. Echelonmotion realization conjecture. For every x∈Lx\in L, we have

∣Cov⁡L↑(Ech⁡σ(x))∣=∣Cov⁡L↓(x)∣.\left|\operatorname{Cov}_L^{\uparrow}(\operatorname{Ech}_\sigma(x))\right|=\left|\operatorname{Cov}_L^{\downarrow}(x)\right|.

This conjecture asks for echelonmotion to give an explicit bijective realization of Dilworth's theorem for modular lattices, which equates the numbers of elements covering kk elements and covered by kk elements. Its resolution is not indicated in the supplied text.
