Equality in Sperner theorem
ID: equality-in-sperner-theorem
The maximum antichains in the Boolean lattice are exactly its full middle levels. For even there is one such level, and for odd either middle level works. The LYM inequality first confines a maximum antichain to those levels; connectedness of the regular inclusion bipartite graph rules out a mixture of the two odd middle levels.
