Abstract : Construction of posets which automorphism group is isomorphic to a given group

by Nikos Lygeros

 

Abstract: In this Note we prove the following theorem: if G is a finite group of cardinal n, non direct product of 2 groups, generated by elements which are two by two of distinct order, then there exists a poset which automorphism group is isomorphic to G and which cardinal is equal to 3n. This theorem is optimal for the groups Z/3Z, Z/5Z, Z/7Z and Z/4Z.
