Consider the lattice of divisors of n, [1, n]. For any downset (ideal) J in [1, n] we get a forbidden configuration theorem of the type that if a set of divisors D avoids certain configurations, then ] D ] ~< I J ]. If we let 5 Β’ be the set of minimal elements of [ 1, n] not in J, then we forbid in

β¦ Synopsis
Answering a question of Erd6s, Sauer [4] and indepe~dently Pcrles and Shelah [5] found the maximal cardinality of a collection ~ of subsets of a se~: N of cardinality n such that for ever/ subset M ~ N of cardinality m I{C f3 M: C ~ 3b'}l < 2". Karl~)vsky and Milman [3] generalised this result. Here we give a short proof of these results and further extensions.

The closed cone of flag vectors of Eulerian partially ordered sets is studied. A new family of linear inequalities valid for Eulerian flag vectors is given. Half-Eulerian posets are defined. Certain limit posets of Billera and Hetyei are half-Eulerian; they give rise to extreme rays of the cone for
For a finite group, we define a ring of equivariant vector bundles on finite sets which is an expanded version of the Green ring of representations of the group. We give a new proof of a decomposition of this ring into a direct sum of ideals. We use this decomposition to present Boltje's derivation
