Abstract

Let S_N(P) be the poset obtained by adding a dummy vertex on each diagonal edge of the N's of a finite poset P. We show that S_N(S_N(P)) is N-free. It follows that this poset is the smallest N-free barycentric subdivision of the diagram of P, poset whose existence was proved by P.A. Grillet. This is also the poset obtained by the algorithm starting with P_0:=P and consisting at step m of adding a dummy vertex on a diagonal edge of some N in P_m, proving that the result of this algorithm does not depend upon the particular choice of the diagonal edge choosen at each step. These results are linked to drawing of posets.
