Quotients of Peck Posets

An elementary, self-contained proof of a result of Pouzet and Rosenberg and of Harper is given. This result states that the quotient of certain posets (called unitary Peck) by a finite group of automorphisms retains some nice properties, including the Sperner property. Examples of unitary Peck posets are given, and the techniques developed here are used to prove a result of Lovhz on the edge-re...
