Title:  Fixed Points in Partially Ordered Sets

Abstract:  In this talk we will look at what conditions we need to impose on posets to ensure automorphisms of the poset have fixed points. We will prove, and use, a discrete version of the famous Hopf-Lefshetz fixed point theorem from topology. Examples will be emphasized.
