Curly braces in Hasse diagram
I don't know how to add a brace emcompassing only part of the height of the figure with tikz, but it's easy to obtain it with pstricks
:
\documentclass[border=3mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{amsmath, pstricks-add}
\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}
\begin{document}
\psset{linejoin=1}
\everypsbox{\footnotesize}
$ \begin{psmatrix}[rowsep=1.3cm, colsep=2.5cm]
\pnode[-4pt, 1.5ex]{K1}\phantom{K₁} & K₁ \\
& k₁ \\
\pnode[-4pt, -0.5ex]{K0}K₀ \\
k₀
\psset{nodesep=4pt, labelsep=2pt}
\ncline{3,1}{1,2}\ncline{4,1}{2,2}\nbput[nrot=:U]{\text{degree $ p $}}
\ncline{1,2}{2,2}\ncline{4,1}{3,1}\naput[nrot=:U]{\text{degree $ 2 $}}
\psset{braceWidthInner=3pt,braceWidthOuter=3pt, braceWidth =0.8pt, nodesepB=-4pt, nodesepA=-1pt}
\psbrace(K1)(K0){H}
\end{psmatrix} $
\end{document}
A simple cases
environment will do:
\documentclass[border=3mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{amsmath, tikz, tikz-cd}
\begin{document}
$ H \begin{cases}
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline= (a).base]
\node[scale=.85] (a) at (0,0){
\begin{tikzcd}[every arrow/.append style={dash}]
& & K_1
\arrow[ddll]
\arrow[d]\\
& & k_1
\arrow[ddll,sloped,pos=0.7,"\text{degree $p$}"]\\
K_0 \arrow[d,swap,"\text{degree 2} \, \,"] & & \\
k_0 & &
\end{tikzcd}
};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{cases} $
\end{document}
With \left\lbrace
and \right.
\documentclass[border=3mm]{standalone}
\usepackage{amsmath,tikz, tikz-cd}
\begin{document}
$H \left\lbrace
\begin{tikzpicture}[baseline= (a).base]
\node[scale=.85] (a) at (0,0){
\begin{tikzcd}[every arrow/.append style={dash}]
& & K_1
\arrow[ddll]
\arrow[d]\\
& & k_1
\arrow[ddll,sloped,pos=0.7,"\text{degree $p$}"]\\
K_0 \arrow[d,swap,"\text{degree 2} \, \,"] & & \\
k_0 & &
\end{tikzcd}
};
\end{tikzpicture}
\right.$
\end{document}
