Abstract

We develop a new approach for establishing the Macaulayness of posets representable as cartesian powers of other posets. This approach is based on a problem of constructing an ideal of maximum rank in a poset. Using the relations between the maximum rank ideal problem and the edge-isoperimetric problem on graphs we demonstrate an application of our approach to specification of all posets with a special Macaulay order. We also present a new general construction for additive Macaulay posets and introduce several new families of Macaulay posets.
