What's concrete model for Coxeter complexes?

We know for every Coxeter system $(W,S)$ there is a Coxeter complex associated by its cosets of parabolic subgroups. In Wachs's note Poset Topology p.12-13 she mentioned for the Coxeter complex of ...

Finite lattice representation problem checking

[Grätzer and Schmidt 1963] proves that every algebraic lattice is isomorphic to the congruence lattice of a universal algebra. A finite lattice is algebraic. The finite lattice representation problem ...

Is an Eulerian subgroup lattice boolean?

Let $G$ be a finite group and $\mu$ the Möbius function of the subgroup lattice $\mathcal{L}(G)$. The reduced Euler characteristic of the order complex of the coset poset $\{ Kg \ | \ K<G, \ g \...

Existence of a faithful irreducible representation using Möbius function

Let $G$ be a finite group, $L(G)$ its subgroup lattice and $\mu$ the Möbius function. Consider the Euler totient of $G$ defined as follows: $$ \varphi(G) = \sum_{H \le G}\mu(H,G) |H| $$ Let $X=\{M_1, \...

Is there an atom K of [H,G]≃B2 with |K:H|≡|G:H|(mod 2)?

Let $[H,G]$ be a rank $2$ boolean interval of finite groups. Statement 1: There is an atom $K$ of $[H,G]$ such that $|K:H|≡|G:H|($mod $ 2)$. The following picture illustrates the statement. ...

Is the bounded coset poset of a boolean interval of finite groups, Cohen-Macaulay?

Let $[H,G]$ be a boolean interval of finite groups and let $\hat{C}(H,G)$ be its bounded coset poset (i.e. the poset of cosets $Kg$ with $K \in [H,G]$, bounded below by $\emptyset$ and bounded above ...

Nonvanishing of the dual Euler totient on boolean intervals of finite groups

The rank $n$ boolean lattice $B_n$, is the subset lattice of $\{1,2, \dotsm n \}$. Let $[H,G]$ be a boolean interval of finite groups. Its Euler totient is defined by $$\varphi(H,G):=\sum_{K \in ...

An optimal lower bound related to generators in a boolean interval of finite groups

Let $[H,G]$ be a rank $n$ boolean interval of finite groups (i.e. $[H,G] \simeq B_n$ as lattice). Let the set $E = \{ g \in G \ | \ \langle H,g \rangle = G \}$ Remark: If $g \in E$ then $Hg \...

Positivity of the alternating sum of indices for boolean interval of finite groups

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a subgroup such that the interval $[H,G]$ is a boolean lattice. Let $L_1, \dots , L_n$ be the maximal subgroups of $G$ containing $H$. Let the alternative sum ...

Can the reversed lattice of a subgroups interval be represented?

Let $G$ be a finite group and $H$ a subgroup. The interval $[H,G]$ is the lattice of overgroups of $H$. It is an open problem to know if every finite lattice can be represented by such an interval (...
