A simple polytope $P$ is called $B$-rigid if its combinatorial type is determined by the cohomology ring of the moment-angle manifold $\mathcal{Z}_P$ over $P$. We show that any tensor product decomposition of this cohomology ring is…
A basic combinatorial invariant of a convex polytope $P$ is its $f$-vector $f(P)=(f_0,f_1,\dots,f_{\dim P-1})$, where $f_i$ is the number of $i$-dimensional faces of $P$. Steinitz characterized all possible $f$-vectors of $3$-polytopes and…
Several papers in the recent literature have studied factorization properties of affine monoids using the monoid's Betti elements. In this paper, we extend this study to more general rings and monoids. We open by demonstrating the issues…
We compute the A-polynomial 2-tuple of twisted Whitehead links. As applications, we determine canonical components of twisted Whitehead links and give a formula for the volume of twisted Whitehead link cone-manifolds.
The conifold is a cone over the space T^11, which is known to be topologically S^2xS^3. The coordinates used in the literature describe a sphere-bundle which can be proven to be topologically trivializable. We provide an explicit…
We perform the asymptotic enumeration of two classes of rooted maps on orientable surfaces of genus g: m-hypermaps and m-constellations. For m=2, they correspond respectively to maps with even face degrees and bipartite maps. We obtain…
We exhibit several posets arising from commutative algebra, order theory, tropical convexity as potential face posets of tropical polyhedra, and we clarify their inclusion relations. We focus on monomial tropical polyhedra, and deduce how…
We give an explicit combinatorial description of the two-dimensional faces of both the order polytope $\mathcal{O}(P)$ and the chain polytope $\mathcal{C}(P)$ of a partially ordered set $P$. Using these descriptions, we show that for any…
The conjecture of Kalai, Kleinschmidt, and Lee on the number of empty simplices of a simplicial polytope is established by relating it to the first graded Betti numbers of the polytope. The proof allows us to derive explicit optimal bounds…
In this paper we study three-dimensional orbifolds by 2-groups with a trivially-acting one-form symmetry group BK. These orbifolds have a global two-form symmetry, and so one expects that they decompose into (are equivalent to) a disjoint…
Boij-S\"oderberg theory describes the scalar multiples of Betti diagrams of graded modules over a polynomial ring as a linear combination of pure diagrams with positive coefficients. There are a few results that describe Boij-S\"oderberg…
We consider simple polytopes $P=vc^{k}(\Delta^{n_{1}}\times\ldots\times\Delta^{n_{r}})$, for $n_1\ge\ldots\ge n_r\ge 1,r\ge 1,k\ge 0$, that is, $k$-vertex cuts of a product of simplices, and call them {\emph{generalized truncation…
The class of connected LOG (Labelled Oriented Graph) groups coincides with the class of fundamental groups of complements of closed, orientable 2-manifolds embedded in S^4, and so contains all knot groups. We investigate when Campbell and…
One can associate to any bivariate polynomial P(X,Y) its Newton polygon. This is the convex hull of the points (i,j) such that the monomial X^i Y^j appears in P with a nonzero coefficient. We conjecture that when P is expressed as a sum of…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple undirected graph with $n$ vertices then a set partition $\pi=\{V_1, ..., V_k\}$ of the vertex set of $G$ is a connected set partition if each subgraph $G[V_j]$ induced by the blocks $V_j$ of $\pi$ is connected for…
We compute the graded Betti numbers for the toric ideal of a family of graphs constructed by adjoining a cycle to a complete bipartite graph. The key observation is that this family admits an initial ideal which has linear quotients. As a…
We survey results related to the magnitude of the Betti numbers of numerical semigroup rings and of their tangent cones.
We present various facts on the graded Betti table of a projectively embedded toric surface, expressed in terms of the combinatorics of its defining lattice polygon. These facts include explicit formulas for a number of entries, as well as…
We investigate resolutions of letterplace ideals of posets. We develop topological results to compute their multigraded Betti numbers, and to give structural results on these Betti numbers. If the poset is a union of no more than $c$…
Let $\Delta$ be simplicial complex and let $k[\Delta]$ denote the Stanley--Reisner ring corresponding to $\Delta$. Suppose that $k[\Delta]$ has a pure free resolution. Then we describe the Betti numbers and the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicity…
