Path Counting and Rank Gaps in Differential Posets

Abstract We study the gaps Δpn between consecutive rank sizes in r-differential posets by introducing a projection operator whose matrix entries can be expressed in terms of the number of certain paths in the Hasse diagram. We strengthen Miller’s result that Δpn ≥ 1, which resolved a longstanding c...
