A combinatorial sl2-action and the Sperner property for the weak order
Abstract
We construct a simple combinatorially-defined representation of sl2 which respects the order structure of the weak order on the symmetric group. This is used to resolve a conjecture of Stanley that the weak order has the strong Sperner property, and is therefore a Peck poset.
