The set of all permutations, ordered by pattern containment, forms a poset. This paper presents the first explicit major results on the topology of intervals in this poset. We show that almost all (open) intervals in this poset have a…
We consider a natural generalization of braids which we call shrinking braids. We state the relations of shrinking braids and use them to define algebraically the monoid $R$. We endow a subset of $R$ with a \emph{left distributive monoid}…
We show that a proper degeneracy at $q=0$ of the $q$-deformed rook monoid of Solomon is the algebra of a monoid $R_n^0$ namely the $0$-rook monoid, in the same vein as Norton's $0$-Hecke algebra being the algebra of a monoid $H_n^0 =…
Building upon the previous Renner-Coxeter system of work by Eddy Godelle we introduce the familiar Renner monoid structure of the Adherence order. The Green's relations of the system are then considered in relation to the Adherence order…
We show how to reconstruct the topology on the monoid of endomorphisms of the rational numbers under the strict or reflexive order relation, and the polymorphism clone of the rational numbers under the reflexive relation. In addition we…
In this paper, we give a new and efficient algebraic criterion for the pure as well as non-pure shellability of simplicial complex $\Delta$ over [n]. We also give an algebraic characterization of a leaf in a simplicial complex (defined in…
Let $G$ be a complex reductive group, $B$ be a Borel subgroup of G, $\nt$ be the Lie algebra of the unipotent radical of $B$, and $\nt^*$ be its dual space. Let $\Phi$ be the root system of $G$, and $\Phi^+$ be the set of positive roots…
We extend the definition of chordal from graphs to clutters. The resulting family generalizes both chordal graphs and matroids, and obeys many of the same algebraic and geometric properties. Specifically, the independence complex of a…
We describe the equivariant cohomology ring of rationally smooth projective embeddings of reductive groups. These embeddings are the projectivizations of reductive monoids. Our main result describes their equivariant cohomology in terms of…
The following is true in the Solovay model. 1. If $\le$ is a Borel partial order on a set $D$ of the reals, and $X$ is a ROD subset of $D$ linearly ordered by $\le$, then the restriction of $\le$ onto $X$ is countably cofinal. 2. If in…
We prove that linear extensions of the Bruhat order of a matroid are shelling orders and that the barycentric subdivision of a matroid is a Coxeter matroid, viewing barycentric subdivisions as subsets of a parabolic quotient of a symmetric…
We give a bound for the order of the local monodromy of a compatible system of l-adic representations, which is independent of l. For the etale cohomology of a variety, the bound depends only on some numerical invariants of varieties.
We give a case-free proof that the lattice of noncrossing partitions associated to any finite real reflection group is EL-shellable. Shellability of these lattices was open for the groups of type $D_n$ and those of exceptional type and rank…
We show that an 'almost strong Lefschetz' property holds for the barycentric subdivision of a shellable complex. From this we conclude that for the barycentric subdivision of a Cohen-Macaulay complex, the $h$-vector is unimodal, peaks in…
We describe a construction by G\'abor Elek, associating C*-algebras with uniformly recurrent subgroups, in the language of groupoid C*-algebras. This allows us to simplify several proofs in the original paper and fully characterise their…
Motivated by the study of hammock (aka brick-wall) networks, we introduce in this paper the notion of X-path. Using the Jordan Curve Theorem for piecewise smooth curves, we prove duality properties for hammock networks. Consequences for…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of Autometrized lattice ordered monoids (for short,AL-monoids) as a generalization to DRl-semi groups. We obtain the basic properties of AL-monoids. Also, we prove that Autometrized lattice ordered…
We give a combinatorial realization of a level-$\ell$ Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence conjectured to exist by Song and Wang for cyclotomic Schur categories. We show that cyclotomic basis elements can be canonically reorganized into…
Shellings of simplicial complexes have long been a useful tool in topological and algebraic combinatorics. Shellings of a complex expose a large amount of information in a helpful way, but are not easy to construct, often requiring deep…
Shellability is a well-known combinatorial criterion for verifying that a simplicial complex is Cohen-Macaulay. Another notion familiar to commutative algebraists, but which has not received as much attention from combinatorialists as the…
