Higher chordality: From graphs to complexes

Combinatorics 2015-10-29 v3 Algebraic Topology

Abstract

We generalize the fundamental graph-theoretic notion of chordality for higher dimensional simplicial complexes by putting it into a proper context within homology theory. We generalize some of the classical results of graph chordality to this generality, including the fundamental relation to the Leray property and chordality theorems of Dirac.
