====== Nate Reff (Binghamton) ====== ====== The Lattice of Non-Crossing Partitions ====== ===== Abstract for the Combinatorics Seminar 2008 November 11 ===== The lattice of non-crossing partitions is self-dual in a simple way. I will show that it also has a symmetric chain decomposition by decomposing it into sub-posets that are direct products of smaller non-crossing partition lattices. I will also present a constructive proof of this through words. This work was done by Simion and Ullman. ----
