There is a natural notion of a subdivision of a lower Eulerian poset called a strong formal subdivision, which abstracts the notion of a polyhedral subdivision of a polytope, or a proper, surjective morphism of fans. We show that there is a…
We generalize chain enumeration in graded partially ordered sets by relaxing the graded, poset and Eulerian requirements. The resulting balanced digraphs, which include the classical Eulerian posets having an $R$-labeling, imply the…
Given a set S of n points in general position, we consider all k-th order Voronoi diagrams on S, for k=1,...,n, simultaneously. We deduce symmetry relations for the number of faces, number of vertices and number of circles of certain…
The socle of a graded Buchsbaum module is studied and is related to its local cohomology modules. This algebraic result is then applied to face enumeration of Buchsbaum simplicial complexes and posets. In particular, new necessary…
For a certain class of finite posets, we prove that all their irreducible orthoscalar representations are finite-dimensional and describe those, for which there exist essential (non-degenerate) irreducible orthoscalar representations.
The closed cone of flag vectors of Eulerian partially ordered sets is studied. It is completely determined up through rank seven. Half-Eulerian posets are defined. Certain limit posets of Billera and Hetyei are half-Eulerian; they give rise…
We introduce Cayley posets as posets arising naturally from pairs $S<T$ of semigroups, much in the same way that Cayley graph arises from a (semi)group and a subset. We show that Cayley posets are a common generalization of several known…
For a discrete group $\Gamma$ satisfying some finiteness conditions we give a Bredon projective resolution of the trivial module in terms of projective covers of the chain complex associated to certain posets of subgroups. We use this to…
In this paper we study finite Eulerian posets which are binomial, Sheffer or triangular. These important classes of posets are related to the theory of generating functions and to geometry. The results of this paper are organized as…
We give a complete classification of the factorial functions of Eulerian binomial posets. The factorial function B(n) either coincides with $n!$, the factorial function of the infinite Boolean algebra, or $2^{n-1}$, the factorial function…
A well-known conjecture of McMullen, proved by Billera, Lee and Stanley, describes the face numbers of simple polytopes. The necessary and sufficient condition is that the toric g-vector of the polytope is an M-vector, that is, the vector…
In this article we describe the Auslander-Reiten quiver for some posets with an involution, that we call types $\mathfrak{U}_n$ and $\mathfrak{U}_\infty$. These posets appear in the differentiation III of Zavadskij [12]. We follow the…
It is well known that the Euler characteristic of an odd dimensional compact manifold is zero. An Euler complex is a combinatorial analogue of a compact manifold. We present here an elementary proof of the corresponding result for Euler…
We introduce two new partial orders on the standard Young tableaux of a given partition shape, in analogy with the strong and weak Bruhat orders on permutations. Both posets are ranked by the major index statistic offset by a fixed shift.…
We define and study the secondary Chern-Euler class for a general submanifold of a Riemannian manifold. Using this class, we define and study index for a vector field with non-isolated singularities on a submanifold. As an application, our…
We lay down the foundations of a theory of parametrised functor calculus, generalising parts of the functor calculus of Goodwillie. We introduce the notion of excisable posets and develop a theory of excisive approximations in this context.…
The purpose of this note is to complete the study, begun in the first author's PhD thesis, of the topology of the poset of generalized noncrossing partitions associated to real reflection groups. In particular, we calculate the Euler…
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…
Given a perverse sheaf on the moduli stack of principally polarized abelian varieties or the moduli stack of smooth curves with n marked points over a field of characteristic zero, we prove that the (orbifold) Euler characteristic is…
We prove a sharp logarithmic Sobolev inequality which holds for compact submanifolds without boundary in Riemannian manifold with nonnegative sectional curvature of arbitrary dimension and codimension, while the ambient manifold needs to…
