Two Posets of Noncrossing Partitions Coming From Undesired Parking Spaces

Consider the noncrossing set partitions of an n-element set which, either do not use the block {n - 1, n} or which do not use both the singleton block {n} and a block containing 1 and n - 1. In this article we study the subposet of the noncrossing partition lattice induced by these elements, and sho...

Description
Summary:	Consider the noncrossing set partitions of an n-element set which, either do not use the block {n - 1, n} or which do not use both the singleton block {n} and a block containing 1 and n - 1. In this article we study the subposet of the noncrossing partition lattice induced by these elements, and show that it is a supersolvable lattice, and therefore lexicographically shellable. We give a combinatorial model for the NBB bases of this lattice and derive an explicit formula for the value of its Möbius function between least and greatest element.This work is motivated by a recent article by M. Bruce, M. Dougherty, M. Hlavacek, R. Kudo, and I. Nicolas, in which they introduce a subposet of the noncrossing partition lattice that is determined by parking functions with certain forbidden entries. In particular, they conjecture that the resulting poset always has a contractible order complex. We prove this conjecture by embedding their poset into ours, and showing that it inherits the lexicographic shellability.
