Abstract

We prove the cancellation-free formula for the antipode of the noncrossing partition lattice in the reduced incidence Hopf algebra of posets due to Einziger. The proof is based on a map from chains in the noncrossing partition lattice to noncrossing hypertrees and expressing the alternating sum over these fibers as an Euler characteristic.
