Let $K$ be a complete, algebraically closed non-archimedean field with ring of integers $K^\circ$ and let $X$ be a $K$-variety. We associate to the data of a strictly semistable $K^\circ$-model $\mathscr X$ of $X$ plus a suitable horizontal…

Let $\Phi$ be a finite root system of rank $n$ and let $m$ be a nonnegative integer. The generalized cluster complex $\Delta^m (\Phi)$ was introduced by S. Fomin and N. Reading. It was conjectured by these authors that $\Delta^m (\Phi)$ is…

If $L$ is a flag triangulation of $S^{n-1}$, then the Davis complex $\Sigma_L$ for the associated right-angled Coxeter group $W_L$ is a contractible $n$-manifold. A special case of a conjecture of Singer predicts that the $L^2$-homology of…

We give a simple proof for the rigidity of a complex in the bounded derived category of sheaves with constructible cohomology on an abelian variety.

A notion of an $i$-banner simplicial complex is introduced. For various values of $i$, these complexes interpolate between the class of flag complexes and the class of all simplicial complexes. Examples of simplicial spheres of an arbitrary…

Motivated by potential applications in network theory, engineering and computer science, we study $r$-ample simplicial complexes. These complexes can be viewed as finite approximations to the Rado complex which has a remarkable property of…

We demonstrate the existence of minimal simplicial $n$-complexes which inevitably contain a nonsplittable two-component link formed by an $(n-1)$-sphere and an $n$-sphere in any embedding into $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$. This provides a…

In 1993 Stanley showed that if a simplicial complex is acyclic over some field, then its face poset can be decomposed into disjoint rank $1$ boolean intervals whose minimal faces together form a subcomplex. Stanley further conjectured that…

A graph is chordal if it contains no induced cycle of length four or more. While finite chordal graphs are precisely those admitting tree-decompositions into cliques, this fails for infinite graphs. We establish two results extending the…

We prove that for any pair of constants $\epsilon>0$ and $\Delta$ and for $n$ sufficiently large, every family of trees of orders at most $n$, maximum degrees at most $\Delta$, and with at most $\binom{n}{2}$ edges in total packs into…

We consider $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes which can be PL embedded in the $2d$-dimensional euclidean space. In short, we show that in any such complex, for any three vertices, the intersection of the link-complexes of the vertices is…

In 1990, Hendry conjectured that every Hamiltonian chordal graph is cycle extendible; that is, the vertices of any non-Hamiltonian cycle are contained in a cycle of length one greater. We disprove this conjecture by constructing…

The long standing Lech's conjecture in commutative algebra states that for a flat local extension $(R,\mathfrak{m})\to (S,\mathfrak{n})$ of Noetherian local rings, we have an inequality on the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicities: $e(R)\leq…

Given a simple undirected graph $G$ there is a simplicial complex $\mathrm{Ind}(G)$, called the independence complex, whose faces correspond to the independent sets of $G$. This is a well studied concept because it provides a fertile ground…

For every simplicial complex K there exists a vertex-transitive simplicial complex homotopy equivalent to a wedge of copies of K with some copies of the circle. It follows that every simplicial complex can occur as a homotopy wedge summand…

We prove that it is NP-complete to decide whether a given (3-dimensional) simplicial complex is collapsible. This work extends a result of Malgouyres and Franc\'{e}s showing that it is NP-complete to decide whether a given simplicial…

Regular groups and fields are common generalizations of minimal and quasi-minimal groups and fields, so the conjectures that minimal or quasi-minimal fields are algebraically closed have their common generalization to the conjecture that…

We apply Miller's theory on multigraded modules over a polynomial ring to the study of the Stanley depth of these modules. Several tools for Stanley's conjecture are developed, and a few partial answers are given. For example, we show that…

We prove that two-sided tilting complexes, and dualizing complexes, over simple Goldie rings (with some technical conditions) are always shifts of invertible bimodules. This allows us to describe the derived Picard groups of such rings, and…

The twisted Alexander polynomials of a space, associated to a linear representation $\sigma$ of the fundamental group, are non-abelian refinements of the classical Alexander polynomial from knot theory. In this paper, we show that they…
