We consider the random poset P(n, p) which is generated by first selecting each subset of [n]=[1, ..., n] with probability p and then ordering the selected subsets by inclusion. We give asymptotic estimates of the size of the maximum antichain for arbitrary p= p(n). In particular, we prove that if p

The excedance set of a permutation Ο = Ο 1 Ο 2 β’ β’ β’ Ο n is the set of indices i for which Ο i > i. We give a formula for the number of permutations with a given excedance set and recursive formulas satisfied by these numbers. We prove log-concavity of certain sequences of these numbers and we show
Consider a hypercube regarded as a directed graph, with one edge in each direction between each pair of adjacent nodes. We show that any permutation on the hypercube can be partitioned into two partial permutations of the same size so that each of them can be routed by edge-disjoint directed paths.
Let G be a permutation group of finite degree d. We prove that the product of the orders of the composition factors of G that are not alternating groups acting naturally, in a sense that will be made precise, is bounded by c d-1 /d, where c = 4 5. We use this to prove that any quotient G/N of G has
