Topological Cohen-Macaulay criteria for monomial ideals

Commutative Algebra 2008-09-10 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

Scattered over the past few years have been several occurrences of simplicial complexes whose topological behavior characterize the Cohen-Macaulay property for quotients of polynomial rings by arbitrary (not necessarily squarefree) monomial ideals. The purpose of this survey is to gather the developments into one location, with self-contained proofs, including direct combinatorial topological connections between them.
