Dualizing complex of the face ring of a simplicial poset

Commutative Algebra 2010-04-21 v3

Abstract

A finite poset PP is called "simplicial", if it has the smallest element 0^\hat{0}, and every interval [0^,x][\hat{0}, x] is a boolean algebra. The face poset of a simplicial complex is a typical example. Generalizing the Stanley-Reisner ring of a simplicial complex, Stanley assigned the graded ring APA_P to PP. This ring has been studied from both combinatorial and topological perspective. In this paper, we will give a concise description of a dualizing complex of APA_P, which has many applications.

16 pages. Simplified the proof of the main theorem. Added the remark that a theorem of Murai-Terai also holds for simplicial posets.
