This paper uses dualities between facet ideal theory and Stanley-Reisner theory to show that the facet ideal of a simplicial tree is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. The proof involves showing that the Alexander dual (or the cover dual, as we…
We consider simplicial complexes admitting a free action by an abelian group. Specifically, we establish a refinement of the classic result of Hochster describing the local cohomology modules of the associated Stanley--Reisner ring,…
We study the partially ordered set $P(a_1,\ldots, a_n)$ of all multidegrees $(b_1,\dots,b_n)$ of monomials $x_1^{b_1}\cdots x_n^{b_n}$ which properly divide $x_1^{a_1}\cdots x_n^{a_n}$. We prove that the order complex…
We show that any polarization of an Artin monomial ideal defines a triangulated ball. This proves a conjecture of A.Almousa, H.Lohne and the first author. Geometrically, polarizations of ideals containing $(x_1^{a_1}, \ldots, x_n^{a_n})$…
We construct four families of Artin-Schelter regular algebras of global dimension four. Under some generic conditions, this is a complete list of Artin-Schelter regular algebras of global dimension four that are generated by two elements of…
We introduce a positive scalar function $\rho(a, \Omega)$ for a domain $\Omega$ of a complex manifold $X$ with a global holomorphic frame of the cotangent bundle by closed Abelian differentials, which heuristically measure the distance from…
Let $F$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and $G$ be a finite abelian group. If $A=\oplus_{g\in G} A_g$ is a $G$-graded algebra, we study degree-inverting involutions on $A$, i.e., involutions $*$ on $A$ satisfying…
Via the BGG correspondence a simplicial complex Delta on [n] is transformed into a complex of coherent sheaves on P^n-1. We show that this complex reduces to a coherent sheaf F exactly when the Alexander dual Delta^* is Cohen-Macaulay. We…
A numerical characterization is given of the so-called h-triangles of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complexes. This result characterizes the number of faces of various dimensions and codimensions in such a complex, generalizing the…
We extend the calculus of relations to embed a regular category A into a family of pseudo-abelian tensor categories T(A,d) depending on a degree function d. Under the condition that all objects of A have only finitely many subobjects, our…
We call a set of positive integers closed under taking unitary divisors a unitary ideal. It can be regarded as a simplicial complex. Moreover, a multiplicative arithmetical function on such a set corresponds to a function on the simplicial…
Let $\Delta$ be a pure simplicial complex and $I_\Delta$ its Stanley-Reisner ideal in a polynomial ring $S$. We show that $\Delta$ is a matroid (complete intersection) if and only if $S/I_\Delta^{(m)}$ ($S/I_\Delta^m$) is clean for all…
A triangulation of a simplicial complex $\Delta$ is called uniform if the $f$-vector of its restriction to a face of $\Delta$ depends only on the dimension of that face. This paper proves that the entries of the $h$-vector of a uniform…
For a simplicial complex X and a field K, let h_i(X)=\dim \tilde{H}_i(X;K). It is shown that if X,Y are complexes on the same vertex set, then for all k h_{k-1}(X\cap Y) \leq \sum_{\sigma \in Y} \sum_{i+j=k} h_{i-1}(X[\sigma])\cdot…
We discuss the problem of non abelian constrained systems and the origin of appearance of non abelian algebras. We show that it is possible, in principle, to change a non abelian system to an abelian one, at least locally. Our method is…
A notion of an $i$-banner simplicial complex is introduced. For various values of $i$, these complexes interpolate between the class of flag complexes and the class of all simplicial complexes. Examples of simplicial spheres of an arbitrary…
We classify all two-dimensional simple algebras (which may be non-associative) over an algebraically closed field. For each two-dimensional algebra $\mathcal{A}$, we describe a minimal (with respect to inclusion) generating set for the…
We consider simplicial sets equipped with a notion of smallness, and observe that this slight "topological" extension of the "algebraic" simplicial language allows a concise reformulation of a number of classical notions in topology, e.g.…
We study the exponential Hilbert series (both coarsely- and finely-graded) of the Stanley-Reisner ring of an abstract simplicial complex, $\Delta$, and we introduce the $e$-vector of $\Delta$, which relates to the coefficients of the…
We prove an Alexander-type duality for valuations for certain subcomplexes in the boundary of polyhedra. These strengthen and simplify results of Stanley (1974) and Miller-Reiner (2005). We give a generalization of Brion's theorem for this…
