Let 2 [n] denote the Boolean lattice of order n, that is, the poset of subsets of {1, ..., n} ordered by inclusion. Recall that 2 [n] may be partitioned into what we call the canonical symmetric chain decomposition (due to de Bruijn, Tengbergen, and Kruyswijk), or CSCD. Motivated by a question of FΓΌ

Let 2" be the ordered set obtained from the Boolean lattice 2" by deleting both the greatest and the least elements. Definef(n) to be the minimum number k such that there is a partition of 2" into k antichains of the same size except for at most one antichain of a smaller size. In the paper we exami
We form the random poset P P n, p by including each subset of n s 1, . . . , n with probability p and ordering the subsets by inclusion. We investigate the length of the Ε½ . longest chain contained in P P n, p . For p G ern we obtain the limit distribution of this random variable. For smaller p we g
Suppose we toss an independent coin with probability of success p for each subset of Β½n ΒΌ f1; . . . ; ng; and form the random hypergraph PΓ°n; pΓ by taking as hyperedges the subsets with successful coin tosses. We investigate the cardinality of the largest Sperner family contained in PΓ°n; pΓ: We obta
In this article, we determine the probability of existence of small lattices in random subsets of a Boolean lattice. Furthermore, we address some Ramsey-and Turan-type questions. Analogous questions have been studied extensively for random graphs, but it turns out that the situation for Boolean lat
