Using an intuition from metric geometry, we prove that any flag and normal simplicial complex satisfies the non-revisiting path conjecture. As a consequence, the diameter of its facet-ridge graph is smaller than the number of vertices minus…
We study uniformization problems for compact manifolds that arise as quotients of domains in complex flag varieties by images of Anosov homomorphisms. We focus on Anosov homomorphisms with "small" limit sets, as measured by the Riemannian…
We find decompositions of $h$-polynomials of flag doubly Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complex that yield a direct connection between gamma vectors of flag spheres and constructions used to build them geometrically. More specifically, they are…
We investigate the face numbers of simplicial complexes with Buchsbaum vertex links, especially pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities. This includes deriving Dehn-Sommerville relations for pseudomanifolds with isolated singularities…
The full root polytope of type $A$ is the convex hull of all pairwise differences of the standard basis vectors which we represent by forward and backward arrows. We completely classify all flag triangulations of this polytope that are…
The Flag Complex Conjecture of Charney and Davis states that for a simplicial complex $S$ which triangulates a $(2n - 1)$-generalized homology sphere as a flag complex one has $(-1)^n \sum_{\sigma \in S}…
In this paper, we study the rational cohomology rings of indefinite Kac-Moody groups and their flag manifolds. By extracting the information of cohomology from the Poincar\'{e} series, we are able to determine the rational cohomology rings…
A central problem in Diophantine geometry is to uniformly bound the number of $K$-rational points on a smooth curve $X/K$ in terms of $K$ and its genus $g$. A recent paper by Stoll proved uniform bounds for the number of $K$-rational points…
Symmetric edge polytopes, a.k.a. PV-type adjacency polytopes, associated with undirected graphs have been defined and studied in several seemingly independent areas including number theory, discrete geometry, and dynamical systems. In…
We show that the loop homology algebras of polyhedral products of the form $(\underline{X},\underline{*})^{\mathcal{K}}$ can be written as a colimit over the flagification of $\mathcal{K}$, and obtain a similar result for the Poincar\'e…
The cubical barycentric subdivision sd_c(K) of a cubical complex K is introduced as an analogue of the barycentric subdivision of a simplicial complex. Explicit formulas for the short and long cubical h-vector of sd_c(K) are given, in terms…
Generalizing the notion of a Koszul algebra, a graded k-algebra A is K2 if its Yoneda algebra is generated as an algebra in cohomology degrees 1 and 2. We prove a strong theorem about K2 factor algebras of Koszul algebras and use that…
We show that the cohomology algebra of the complement of a coordinate subspace arrangement in m-dimensional complex space is isomorphic to the cohomology algebra of Stanley-Reisner face ring of a certain simplicial complex on m vertices.…
The multiplicity conjecture of Herzog, Huneke, and Srinivasan is verified for the face rings of the following classes of simplicial complexes: matroid complexes, complexes of dimension one and two, and Gorenstein complexes of dimension at…
Given an abstract polytope $\cal P$, its flag graph is the edge-coloured graph whose vertices are the flags of $\cal P$ and the $i$-edges correspond to $i$-adjacent flags. Flag graphs of polytopes are maniplexes. On the other hand, given a…
We show that the homotopy type of a finite oriented Poincar\'{e} 4-complex is determined by its quadratic 2-type provided its fundamental group is finite and has a dihedral Sylow 2-subgroup. By combining with results of Hambleton-Kreck and…
The connectivity of graphs of simplicial and polytopal complexes is a classical subject going back at least to Steinitz, and the topic has since been studied by many authors, including Balinski, Barnette, Athanasiadis and Bjorner. In this…
Radial eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on compact rank-one symmetric spaces may be expressed in terms of Jacobi polynomials. We use this fact to prove an identity for Jacobi polynomials which is inspired by results of…
For a projective hypersurface $Z$ with isolated singularities, we generalize some well-known assertions in the nonsingular case due to Griffiths, Scherk, Steenbrink, Varchenko, and others about the relations between the Steenbrink spectrum,…
For a finite simplicial complex K and a CW-pair (X,A), there is an associated CW-complex Z_K(X,A), known as a polyhedral product. We apply discrete Morse theory to a particular CW-structure on the n-sphere moment-angle complexes Z_K(D^{n},…
