非消去交集(NCI)猜想由Amarilli、Monet和Suciu于2024年提出(arXiv:2401.16210),是组合学中的一个开放问题,指出任意集合的并集可通过不相交并集和子集补集,从其代数非消去交集中构造性构建。同篇论文中提出两种正交的可能强化:仅使用左线性树,以及根据莫比乌斯值的符号,非平凡交集仅正使用或仅负使用。本文证明仅使用左线性树时,该猜想不成立(与另一种强化无关),论证为非构造性,证明存在反例,尽管其规模极大。
英文摘要
First formulated by Amarilli, Monet, and Suciu (arXiv:2401.16210, 2024), the Non-Cancelling Intersections (NCI) conjecture is an open problem in combinatorics stating that any set union can be constructively built from its algebraically non-cancelling intersections using only disjoint unions and subset complements. In the same paper, two orthogonal possible strengthenings are proposed: using only left-linear trees, and using non-trivial intersections only positively or only negatively depending on the sign of their Möbius value. Here we show that using only left-linear trees, the conjecture is false (independent of the other strengthening). Our argument is non-constructive. We prove the existence of a counterexample, though it is of immense size.
