The main invariant to study the combinatorics of a simplicial complex $K$ is the associated face ring or Stanley-Reisner algebra. Reisner respectively Stanley explained in which sense Cohen-Macaulay and Gorenstein properties of the face…
We consider simplicial complexes admitting a free action by an abelian group. Specifically, we establish a refinement of the classic result of Hochster describing the local cohomology modules of the associated Stanley--Reisner ring,…
There are a large number of theorems detailing the homological properties of the Stanley--Reisner ring of a simplicial complex. Here we attempt to generalize some of these results to the case of a simplicial poset. By investigating the…
We present a short proof of Reisner's Theorem, characterizing which simplicial complexes have a Cohen-Macaulay face ring. In some cases, we can also express some homological invariants of the face ring in terms of the reduced homology of…
We study representations of finite groups on Stanley--Reisner rings of simplicial complexes and on lattice points in lattice polytopes. The framework of translative group actions allows us to use the theory of proper colorings of simplicial…
A finite poset $P$ is called "simplicial", if it has the smallest element $\hat{0}$, and every interval $[\hat{0}, x]$ is a boolean algebra. The face poset of a simplicial complex is a typical example. Generalizing the Stanley-Reisner ring…
We consider the relationship between the Stanley-Reisner ring (a.k.a. face ring) of a simplicial or boolean complex $\Delta$ and that of its barycentric subdivision. These rings share a distinguished parameter subring. S. Murai asked if…
Consider the diagonal action of the special orthogonal group on the direct sum of a finite number of copies of the standard representation--the underlying field is assumed to be algebraically closed and of characteristic not equal to two.…
In this note we define a Stanley-Reisner ring for quasi-arithmetic matroids and more general structures. To this end, we define two types of CW complexes associated with a quasi-arithmetic matroid that generalize independence complexes of…
For several important classes of manifolds acted on by the torus, the information about the action can be encoded combinatorially by a regular n-valent graph with vector labels on its edges, which we refer to as the torus graph. By analogy…
We study simplicial complexes with a given number of vertices whose Stanley-Reisner ring has the minimal possible Betti numbers. We find that these simplicial complexes have very special combinatorial and topological structures. For…
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.…
Recently, G. Floystad studied "higher Cohen-Macaulay property" of certain finite regular cell complexes. In this paper, we partially extend his results to squarefree modules, toric face rings, and simplicial posets. For example, we show…
To a simplicial complex, we associate a square-free monomial ideal in the polynomial ring generated by its vertex set over a field. We study algebraic properties of this ideal via combinatorial properties of the simplicial complex. By…
We investigate the Cohen-Macaulay property for rings of invariants under multiplicative actions of a finite group $G$. By definition, these are $G$-actions on Laurent polynomial algebras that stabilize the multiplicative group consisting of…
For a simplicial poset $P$, Stanley assigned the face ring $A_P$, which is the quotient of the polynomial ring $S:=K[t_x \mid x \in P \setminus \{\widehat{0} \}]$ by the ideal $I_P$. This is a generalization of Stanley-Reisner rings, but…
The goal of the present paper is the study of some algebraic invariants of Stanley-Reisner rings of Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complexes of dimension $d - 1$. We prove that the inequality $d \leq \mathrm{reg}(\Delta) \cdot…
In this paper, we provide a simple proof for the fact that two simplicial complexes are isomorphic if and only if their associated Stanley-Reisner rings, or their associated facet rings are isomorphic as $K$-algebras. As a consequence, we…
We classify the complementary vectors of doubly Cohen-Macaulay complexes. This proves a conjecture of Swartz, negatively answers a question of Athanasiadis and Tzanaki, and gives new bounds on the number of independent sets in a matroid.…
We show that, under certain constraints, the Stanley-Reisner ring of an infinite simplicial complex is Cohen-Macaulay in the sense of ideals and weak Bourbaki unmixed. We apply this result to prove the wanted claim -- that initial complexes…
