β¦ Synopsis
We prove that every height-2 finite poset with three or more points has an incomparable pair (.x, J) such that the proportion of all linear extensions of the poset in which s is less than y is between l/3 and 213. A related result of Koml6s says that the containment interval [l/3,2/3] shrinks to [l/2, l/2] in the limit as the width of height-2 posets becomes large. We conjecture that a poset denoted by V,' maximizes the containment interval for height-2 posets of width m + 1.

## Abstract In 1971, inspired by the work of Lazard and Govorov for modules over a ring, StenstrΓΆm proved that the strongly flat right acts __A__ ~__S__~ over a monoid __S__ (that is, the acts that are directed colimits of finitely generated free acts) are those for which the functor __A__ ~__S__~
It IS proved that If (Y, <) IS a poset with no Infinite chain and k IS a positive integer, then there exist a partition of .Jp into disjoint chains C, and disjoint antichains A,, A,. , A,., such that each chain C, meets min (k, IC, I) antichams A,. We make a 'dual' conjecture, for which the case k =
