A long-standing conjecture of Stanley states that every Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complex is partitionable. We disprove the conjecture by constructing an explicit counterexample. Due to a result of Herzog, Jahan and Yassemi, our…

Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field, and let $S=\mathbb{K}[X_1, ..., X_n]$ be the polynomial ring. Let $I$ be a monomial ideal of $S$ with up to 5 generators. In this paper, we present a computational experiment which allows us to prove that…

The aim of this paper is to make a connection between design theory and algebraic geometry/commutative algebra. In particular, given any Steiner System $S(t,n,v)$ we associate two ideals, in a suitable polynomial ring, defining a Steiner…

In analogy to the skeletons of a simplicial complex and their Stanley--Reisner ideals we introduce the skeletons of an arbitrary monomial ideal $I\subset S=K[x_1,...,x_n]$. This allows us to compute the depth of $S/I$ in terms of its…

The binary signed-digit representation of integers is used for efficient computation in various settings. The Stern polynomial is a polynomial extension of the well-studied Stern diatomic sequence, and has itself has been investigated in…

An integer sequence is said to be 3-free if no three elements form an arithmetic progression. Following the greedy algorithm, the Stanley sequence $S(a_0,a_1,\ldots,a_k)$ is defined to be the 3-free sequence $\{a_n\}$ having initial terms…

We give new proofs of three theorems of Stanley on generating functions for the integer points in rational cones. The first, Stanley's reciprocity theorem, relates the rational generating functions for the integer points in a cone K and for…

We define an extension of parity from the integers to the rational numbers. Three parity classes are found -- even, odd and `none'. Using the 2-adic valuation, we partition the rationals into subgroups with a rich algebraic structure. The…

We consider the path ideal associated to a line graph, we compute \texttt{sdepth} for its quotient ring and note that it is equal with its \texttt{depth}. In particular, it satisfies the Stanley inequality.

We define nice partitions of the multicomplex associated to a Stanley ideal. As the main result we show that if the monomial ideal $I$ is a CM Stanley ideal, then $I^p$ is a Stanley ideal as well, where $I^p$ is the polarization of $I$.

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…

We define combinatorially a partial order on the set partitions and show that it is equivalent to the Bruhat-Chevalley-Renner order on the upper triangular matrices. By considering subposets consisting of set partitions with a fixed number…

In this paper, we provide an overview of Ehrhart polynomials associated with order polytopes of finite posets, a concept first introduced by Stanley. We focus on their combinatorial interpretations for many sequences listed on the OEIS. We…

Stern's diatomic sequence is a well-studied and simply defined sequence with many fascinating characteristics. The binary signed-digit representation of integers is an alternative representation of integers with much use in efficient…

Let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be the ring of polynomials in $n$ variables over an arbitrary field $K$. Given a finitely generated multigraded module $M$, its Stanley length, denoted by $\operatorname{slength}(M)$, is the minimal length of a…

The purpose of this paper is to study stable representations of partially ordered sets (posets) and compare it to the well known theory for quivers. In particular, we prove that every indecomposable representation of a poset of finite type…

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 define a subclass of Hessenberg varieties called abelian Hessenberg varieties, inspired by the theory of abelian ideals in a Lie algebra developed by Kostant and Peterson. We give an inductive formula for the $S_n$-representation on the…

Scale invariant scattering suggests that all Bernoulli numbers B_{2n} can be naturally partitioned, i.e., written as particular finite sums of same-signed, monotonic, rational numbers. Some properties of these rational numbers are discussed…

The triangle of sorted binomial coefficients $\left\langle {n \atop k} \right\rangle = \binom{n}{\lfloor \frac{n - k}{2} \rfloor}$ for $0 \leq k \leq n$ has appeared several times in recent combinatorial works but has evaded dedicated…
