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…
Let $G$ be a finite simple graph on a vertex set $V(G)=\{x_{11}, \ldots, x_{n1}\}$. Also let $m_1, \ldots,m_n \geq 2$ be integers and $G_1, \ldots, G_n$ be connected simple graphs on the vertex sets $V(G_i)=\{x_{i1}, \ldots, x_{im_i}\}$. In…
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…
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…
Given an infinite field $\mathbb{k}$ and a simplicial complex $\Delta$, a common theme in studying the $f$- and $h$-vectors of $\Delta$ has been the consideration of the Hilbert series of the Stanley--Reisner ring $\mathbb{k}[\Delta]$…
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a graph. If $G$ is a K\"onig graph or $G$ is a graph without 3-cycles and 5-cycle, we prove that the following conditions are equivalent: $\Delta_{G}$ is pure shellable, $R/I_{\Delta}$ is Cohen-Macaulay, $G$ is unmixed…
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…
A numerical characterization is given of the so-called h-triangles of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complexes. This result characterizes the number of faces of various dimensions and codimensions in such a complex, generalizing the…
This is a further investigation of our approach to group actions in homological algebra in the settings of homology of {\Gamma}-simplicial groups, particularly of {\Gamma}-equivariant homology and cohomology of {\Gamma}-groups. This…
Let $\Gamma$ be a group of type $F_n$ and let $X$ be the $n$ skeleton of the universal cover of a $K(\Gamma,1)$ simplicial complex with finite $n$ skeleton. We show that if $\Gamma$ is strongly $n$-Kazhdan, then for any family of finite…
Let $H$ denote a finite index subgroup of the modular group $\Gamma$ and let $\rho$ denote a finite-dimensional complex representation of $H.$ Let $M(\rho)$ denote the collection of holomorphic vector-valued modular forms for $\rho$ and let…
Let $G/H$ be a Galois symmetric space for an unramified quadratic extension of a locally compact field $F$, where the group $H$ is semisimple, simply connected, defined and split over $F$. We prove that there exists a subgroup $\Gamma =…

We characterize pure lexsegment complexes which are Cohen-Macaulay in arbitrary codimension. More precisely, we prove that any lexsegment complex is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if it is pure and its one dimensional links are connected, and,…
We show that the $h$-vector of a $2$-dimensional PS ear-decomposable simplicial complex is a pure $\mathcal{O}$-sequence. This provides a strengthening of Stanley's conjecture for matroid $h$-vectors in rank $3$. Our approach modifies the…
Let ${\mathfrak{g}}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra with Borel subalgebra ${\mathfrak{b}}$ and corresponding nilradical ${\mathfrak{n}}$. We show that singular Whittaker modules $M$ are simple if and only if the space $\hbox{Wh}\,M$ of…
Inspired by several recent papers on the edge ideal of a graph G, we study the equivalent notion of the independence complex of G. Using the tool of vertex decomposability from geometric combinatorics, we show that 5-chordal graphs with no…

Let $\D$ be a $(d-1)$-dimensional pure $f$-simplicial complex over vertex set $[n]$. In this paper, it is proved that $n=2d$ holds true if $\D$ is minimal Cohen-Macaulay. It is also indicated that the recent work of \cite{Dao2020} implies…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a simplicial complex to be approximately Cohen-Macaulay. Namely it is approximately Cohen-Macaulay if and only if the ideal associated to its Alexander dual is componentwise linear and…
