Homotopy Type of Intervals of the Second Higher Bruhat Orders
The higher Bruhat order is a poset generalizing the weak order on permutations. Another special case of this poset is an ordering on simple wiring diagrams. For this case, we prove that every interval is either contractible or homotopy equivalent to a sphere. This partially proves a conjecture due t...
