The flag f-vectors of three-colored complexes are characterized. This also characterizes the flag h-vectors of balanced Cohen-Macaulay complexes of dimension two, as well as the flag h-vectors of balanced shellable complexes of dimension…
Results of R. Stanley and M. Masuda completely characterize the h-vectors of simplicial posets whose order complexes are spheres. In this paper we examine the corresponding question in the case where the order complex is a ball. Using the…
We consider unimodality and related properties of f-vectors of polytopes in various dimensions. By a result of Kalai (1988), f-vectors of 5-polytopes are unimodal. In higher dimensions much less can be said; we give an overview on current…
A construction of convex flag triangulations of five and higher dimensional spheres, whose h-polynomials fail to have only real roots, is given. We show that there is no such example in dimensions lower than five. A condition weaker than…
It is proved that the Boolean algebra of rank n minimizes the flag f-vector among all graded lattices of rank n, whose proper part has nontrivial top-dimensional homology. The analogous statement for the flag h-vector is conjectured in the…
Colored triangulations offer a generalization of combinatorial maps to higher dimensions. Just like maps are gluings of polygons, colored triangulations are built as gluings of special, higher-dimensional building blocks, such as octahedra,…
We outline the proof that non-triangulable manifolds exist in any dimension greater than four. The arguments involve homology cobordism invariants coming from the Pin(2) symmetry of the Seiberg-Witten equations. We also explore a related…
A simplicial cell ball is a simplicial poset whose geometric realization is homeomorphic to a ball. Recently, Samuel Kolins gave a series of necessary conditions and sufficient conditions on $h$-vectors of simplicial cell balls, and…
We discuss the question when a finite-dimensional diffeological vector space is, or turns out not to be, the coproduct of its subspaces in the category of diffeological vector spaces, after reviewing the same question in some other…
We present a new algorithmic approach that can be used to determine whether a given quadruple $(f_0,f_1,f_2,f_3)$ is the f-vector of any convex 4-dimensional polytope. By implementing this approach, we classify the f-vectors of 4-polytopes…
We prove that the set of directions of lines intersecting three disjoint balls in $R^3$ in a given order is a strictly convex subset of $S^2$. We then generalize this result to $n$ disjoint balls in $R^d$. As a consequence, we can improve…
We completely characterize the first two entries, namely the $(f_0, f_1)$-vector pairs, for $6$-dimension polytopes. We also find the characterization for $7$-dimension polytopes with excess degree greater than $11$ and, we conjecture…
For the cluster algebra $\mathcal{A}$ associated with a triangulated surface, we give a characterization of the triangulated surface such that different non-initial cluster monomials in $\mathcal{A}$ have different $f$-vectors. Similarly,…
This paper defines for each object $X$ that can be constructed out of a finite number of vertices and cells a vector $fX$ lying in a finite dimensional vector space. This is the flag vector of $X$. It is hoped that the quantum topological…
We construct a pair (E ,F), where E is a holomorphic vector bundle over a compact Riemann surface and F a holomorphic subbundle of E, such that both F and E/F admit holomorphic connections, but E does not.
Polytope theory has produced a great number of remarkably simple and complete characterization results for face-number sets or f-vector sets of classes of polytopes. We observe that in most cases these sets can be described as the…
It is shown that conditions stronger in a certain sense than color-shifting cannot be placed on the class of colored complexes without changing the characterization of the flag f-vectors.
Let F be a finite extension of Qp and G be GL(2,F). When V is the tensor product of three admissible, irreducible, finite dimensional representations of G, the space of G-invariant linear forms has dimension at most one. When a non zero…
We characterize the cd-indices of Gorenstein* posets of rank 5, equivalently the flag f-vectors of Gorenstein* order complexes of dimension 3. As a corollary, we characterize the f-vectors of Gorenstein* order complexes in dimensions 3 and…
We study when two projective bundles over two arbitrary smooth projective varieties of different dimensions can be isomorphic. We show that two multi-projective bundles (fibre product of projective bundles) over different projective spaces…
