A note on random k-dimensional posets

Abstract

Abstract In 2009, Janson [Poset limits and exchangeable random posets, Institut Mittag-Leffler preprint, 36pp, arXiv:0902.0306 ] extended the recent theory of graph limits to posets, defining convergence for poset sequences and proving that every such sequence has a limit object. In this paper, we focus on k -dimensional poset sequences. This restriction leads to shorter proofs and to a more intuitive limit object. As before, the limit object can be used as a model for random posets, which generalizes the well known random k -dimensional poset model. This investigation also leads to a definition of quasirandomness for k -dimensional posets, which can be captured by a natural distance that measures the discrepancy of a k -dimensional poset.
