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 finite simple graph. The line graph $L(G)$ represents the adjacencies between edges of $G$. We define first the line simplicial complex $\Delta_L(G)$ of $G$ containing Gallai and anti-Gallai simplicial complexes…

Associated to a simple undirected graph G is a simplicial complex whose faces correspond to the independent sets of G. We call a graph G shellable if this simplicial complex is a shellable simplicial complex in the non-pure sense of…

We recall first Gallai-simplicial complex $\Delta_{\Gamma}(G)$ associated to Gallai graph $\Gamma(G)$ of a planar graph $G$. The Euler characteristic is a very useful topological and homotopic invariant to classify surfaces. In Theorems 3.2…

Let $H$ be a simple undirected graph and $G=\mathrm{L}(H)$ be its line graph. Assume that $\Delta(G)$ denotes the clique complex of $G$. We show that $\Delta(G)$ is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay if and only if it is shellable if and only if…

Imposing a strong condition on the linear order of shellable complexes, we introduce strong shellability. Basic properties, including the existence of dimension-decreasing strong shelling orders, are developed with respect to nonpure…

We investigate the shellability of the polyhedral join $\mathcal{Z}^*_M (K, L)$ of simplicial complexes $K, M$ and a subcomplex $L \subset K$. We give sufficient conditions and necessary conditions on $(K, L)$ for $\mathcal{Z}^*_M (K, L)$…

This paper investigates the shellability of $r$-independence complexes $\mathcal{I}_r(G)$, a generalization of classical independence complexes introduced by Paolini and Salvetti. For a graph $G$, a subset $A \subseteq V(G)$ is…

A multigraph is a nonsimple graph which is permitted to have multiple edges, that is, edges that have the same end nodes. We introduce the concept of spanning simplicial complexes $\Delta_s(\mathcal{G})$ of multigraphs $\mathcal{G}$, which…

A graph $G$ is called well-covered if all maximal independent sets of vertices have the same cardinality. A simplicial complex $\Delta$ is called pure if all of its facets have the same cardinality. Let $\mathcal G$ be the class of graphs…

In this article we investigate the shellability of the flag simplicial complexes attached to non-simple and thin polyominoes. As a consequence, we obtain the Cohen-Macaulayness and a combinatorial interepetation of the $h$-polynomial of the…

Given a simplicial complex $\Delta$, we investigate how to construct a new simplicial complex $\bar{\Delta}$ such that the corresponding monomial ideals satisfy nice algebraic properties. We give a procedure to check the vertex…

If a pure simplicial complex is partitionable, then its $h$-vector has a combinatorial interpretation in terms of any partitioning of the complex. Given a non-partitionable complex $\Delta$, we construct a complex $\Gamma \supseteq \Delta$…

Let $I\subset K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be a zero-dimensional monomial ideal, and $\Delta(I)$ be the simplicial complex whose Stanley--Reisner ideal is the polarization of $I$. It follows from a result of Soleyman Jahan that $\Delta(I)$ is…

Let $G$ be a finite non-solvable group with solvable radical $Sol(G)$. The solvable graph $\Gamma_s(G)$ of $G$ is a graph with vertex set $G\setminus Sol(G)$ and two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ are adjacent if and only if $\langle u, v…

After [J.Herzog, D.Popescu, Finite filtrations of modules and shellable multicomplexes, Preprint IMAR no 4/2005, Bucharest, 2005], the shellability of multicomplexes $\Gamma$ is given in terms of some special faces of $\Gamma$ called…

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…

We introduce a new family of pure simplicial complexes, called the $r$-co-connected complex of $G$ with respect to $A$, $\Sigma_r(A,G)$, where $r\geq 1$ is a natural number, $G$ is a simple graph, and $A$ is a subset of vertices.…

For a positive integer $k$, the $k$-cut complex of a graph $G$ is the simplicial complex whose facets are the $(|V(G)|-k)$-subsets $\sigma$ of the vertex set $V(G)$ of $G$ such that the induced subgraph of $G$ on $V(G) \setminus \sigma$ is…

We call a simplicial complex algebraically rigid if its Stanley-Reisner ring admits no nontrivial infinitesimal deformations, and call it inseparable if does not allow any deformation to other simplicial complexes. Algebraically rigid…
