We introduce the short toric polynomial associated to a graded Eulerian poset. This polynomial contains the same information as the two toric polynomials introduced by Stanley, but allows different algebraic manipulations. The intertwined…

Let $G$ be a chordal graph and $I(G)$ its edge ideal. Let $\beta (I(G)) = (\beta_0, \beta_1, ..., \beta_p)$ denote the Betti sequence of $I(G)$, where $\beta_i$ stands for the $i$th total Betti number of $I(G)$ and where $p$ is the…

For a simplicial complex $\Delta$, the graded Betti number $\beta_{i,j}(k[\Delta])$ of the Stanley-Reisner ring $k[\Delta]$ over a field $k$ has a combinatorial interpretation due to Hochster. Terai and Hibi showed that if $\Delta$ is the…

We formulate conjectures giving combinatorial interpretations of the Ehrhart $h^*$-vector, for hypersimplices, for dilated simplices and for generic cross-sections of cubes, in terms of certain decorated ordered set partitions. All were…

Let $(a_n)_{n \geq 0}$ be a sequence of integers such that its generating series satisfies $\sum_{n \geq 0} a_nt^n = \frac{h(t)}{(1-t)^d}$ for some polynomial $h(t)$. For any $r \geq 1$ we study the coefficient sequence of the numerator…

We prove that the $\gamma$-vector of the barycentric subdivision of a simplicial sphere is the $f$-vector of a balanced simplicial complex. The combinatorial basis for this work is the study of certain refinements of Eulerian numbers used…

For a hypergraph $\mathcal H$, we consider the edge-induced and vertex-induced subhypergraph polynomials and study their relation. We use this relation to prove that both polynomials are reconstructible, and to prove a theorem relating the…

Let $\Delta$ be a simplicial complex on $[n]$. The $\mathcal{N}\mathcal{F}$-complex of $\Delta$ is the simplicial complex $\delta_{\mathcal{N}\mathcal{F}}(\Delta)$ on $[n]$ for which the facet ideal of $\Delta$ is equal to the…

Consider a hierarchical log-linear model, given by a simplicial complex, $\Gamma$, and integer matrix $A_\Gamma$. We give a new characterization of the rank of $A_\Gamma$ given by a logarithmic transformation on the exponential Hilbert…

Differential equations are derived which show how generalized Euler vector representations of the Euler rotation axis and angle for a rigid body evolve in time; the Euler vector is also known as a rotation vector or axis-angle vector. The…

Let $\Delta$ be a simplicial complex on $V = \{x_1,...,x_n\}$, with Stanley-Reisner ideal $I_{\Delta}\subseteq R = k[x_1,...,x_n]$. The goal of this paper is to investigate the class of artinian algebras $A=A(\Delta,a_1,...,a_n)=…

Let g be a basic classical Lie superalgebra over C. In the case of a typical weight whose every nonnegative integer multiple is also typical, we compute a closed form for the Hilbert series whose coefficients encode the dimensions of…

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…

The $h$-vectors of homogeneous rings are one of the most important invariants that often reflect ring-theoretic properties. On the other hand, there are few examples of edge rings of graphs whose $h$-vectors are explicitly computed. In this…

The lth partial barycentric subdivision is defined for a (d-1)-dimensional simplicial complex \Delta and studied along with its combinatorial, geometric and algebraic aspects. We analyze the behavior of the f- and h-vector under the lth…

The cluster complex $\Delta (\Phi)$ is an abstract simplicial complex, introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky for a finite root system $\Phi$. The positive part of $\Delta (\Phi)$ naturally defines a simplicial subdivision of the simplex on the…

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 study the equivariant flag $f$-vector and equivariant flag $h$-vector of a balanced relative simplicial complex with respect to a group action. When the complex satisfies Serre's condition $(S_{\ell}),$ we show that the equivariant flag…

Fix a field $k$. When $\Delta$ is a simplicial complex on $n$ vertices with Stanley-Reisner ideal $I_\Delta$, we define and study an invariant called the $\textit{type defect}$ of $\Delta$. Except when $\Delta$ is of a single simplex, the…
