The shellability status of previously investigated simplicial complexes with up to 24 facets is settled. In case of shellability the exact number of shellings is determined. Our algorithm merely relies on the facets, and not on additional…
We study $d$-dimensional simplicial complexes that are PL embeddable in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$. It is shown that such a complex must satisfy a certain homological condition. The existence of this obstruction allows us to provide a systematic…
This paper concerns the facial geometry of the set of $n \times n$ correlation matrices. The main result states that almost every set of $r$ vertices generates a simplicial face, provided that $r \leq \sqrt{\mathrm{c} n}$, where…
The intersection matrix of a simplicial complex has entries equal to the rank of the intersection of its facets. In [1] the authors prove the intersection matrix is enough to determine a triangulation of a surface up to isomorphism. In this…
We consider closed simplicial and cubical $n$-complexes in terms of link of their $(n-2)$-faces. Especially, we consider the case, when this link has size 3 or 4, i.e., every $(n-2)$-face is contained in 3 or 4 $n$-faces. Such simplicial…
A graph $G$ is called well-covered if all maximal independent sets of vertices have the same cardinality. A simplicial complex $\Delta$ is called pure if all of its facets have the same cardinality. Let $\mathcal G$ be the class of graphs…
This paper develops a complete foundational treatment of simplicial complexes from Euclidean spaces through geometric realizations, emphasizing concrete computations, examples, and practical verification methods. Beginning with finite point…
We define the uniform face ideal of a simplicial complex with respect to an ordered proper vertex colouring of the complex. This ideal is a monomial ideal which is generally not squarefree. We show that such a monomial ideal has a linear…
We prove that the family of facets of a pure simplicial complex of dimension up to three satisfies the Erd\H{o}s-Ko-Rado property whenever it is flag and has no boundary ridges. We conjecture the same to be true in arbitrary dimension and…
We generalize the concept of a cycle from graphs to simplicial complexes. We show that a simplicial cycle is either a sequence of facets connected in the shape of a circle, or is a cone over such a structure. We show that a simplicial tree…
The intersection matrix of a finite simplicial complex has as each of its entries the rank of the intersection of its respective simplices. We prove that such matrix defines the triangulation of a closed connected surface up to isomorphism.
We consider the line graph of a pure simplicial complex. We prove that, as in the case of line graphs of simple graphs, one can compute the second graded Betti number of the facet ideal of a pure simplicial complex in terms of the…
Equifacetal simplices, all of whose codimension one faces are congruent to one another, are studied. It is shown that the isometry group of such a simplex acts transitively on its set of vertices, and, as an application, equifacetal…
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…
It will be proved that a $k$-clique in the $1$-skeleton of either the order polytope or the chain polytope corresponds to the $(k-1)$-face, which is a simplex, in each polytope. These results generalize the known explicit descriptions of…
Simplicial complexes are a popular tool used to model higher-order interactions between elements of complex social and biological systems. In this paper, we study some combinatorial aspects of a class of simplicial complexes created by a…
We compare various viewpoints on down-sets (simplicial complexes), illustrating how the combinatorial inclusion-exclusion principle may serve as an alternative to more advanced methods of studying their face numbers.
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…
We prove that every 2-dimensional polygonal complex, where each polygon is given a constant curvature metric and belongs to one of finitely many isometry classes can be triangulated using only acute simplices. There is no requirement on the…
We define vertex cover algebras for weighted simplicial multicomplexes and prove basics properties of them. Also, we describe these algebras for multicomplexes which have only one maximal facet and we prove that they are finitely generated.
