Brenti and Welker have shown that for any simplicial complex X, the face vectors of successive barycentric subdivisions of X have roots which converge to fixed values depending only on the dimension of X. We improve and generalize this…
In this paper, we study simplicial complexes whose Stanley-Reisner rings are almost Gorenstein and have $a$-invariant zero. We call such a simplicial complex an almost Gorenstein* simplicial complex. To study the almost Gorenstein*…
A famous theorem in polytope theory states that the combinatorial type of a simplicial polytope is completely determined by its facet-ridge graph. This celebrated result was proven by Blind and Mani in 1987, via a non-constructive proof…
We consider the face ideal associated to a line-type simplicial complex. We compute the \texttt{depth} and the \texttt{sdepth} for its quotient ring. In particular, the facet ideal and its quotient ring satisfy the Stanley inequality.
We provide a new foundation for combinatorial commutative algebra and Stanley-Reisner theory using the partition complex introduced in [Adi18]. One of the main advantages is that it is entirely self-contained, using only a minimal knowledge…
We extend several $g$-type theorems for connected, orientable homology manifolds without boundary to manifolds with boundary. As applications of these results we obtain K\"uhnel-type bounds on the Betti numbers as well as on certain…
Following a construction of Stanley we consider toric face rings associated to rational pointed fans. This class of rings is a common generalization of the concepts of Stanley--Reisner and affine monoid algebras. The main goal of this…
The Leray number of an abstract simplicial complex is the minimal integer $d$ where its induced subcomplexes have trivial homology groups in dimension $d$ or greater. We give an upper bound on the Leray number of a complex in terms of how…
This paper uses dualities between facet ideal theory and Stanley-Reisner theory to show that the facet ideal of a simplicial tree is sequentially Cohen-Macaulay. The proof involves showing that the Alexander dual (or the cover dual, as we…
We describe isomorphisms between strongly triangular matrix rings that were defined earlier in Berkenmeier et al. (2000) as ones having a complete set of triangulating idempotents, and we show that the so-called triangulating idempotents…
For any Coxeter system $(W,S)$ of rank $n$, we introduce an abstract boolean complex (simplicial poset) of dimension $2n-1$ that contains the Coxeter complex as a relative subcomplex. Faces are indexed by triples $(I,w,J)$, where $I$ and…
The multiplicity conjecture of Herzog, Huneke, and Srinivasan is verified for the face rings of the following classes of simplicial complexes: matroid complexes, complexes of dimension one and two, and Gorenstein complexes of dimension at…
A "squarefree module" over a polynomial ring $S = k[x_1, .., x_n]$ is a generalization of a Stanley-Reisner ring, and allows us to apply homological methods to the study of monomial ideals systematically. Let $Sq$ be the category of…
An $\omega$-tree-automatic structure is a relational structure whose domain and relations are accepted by Muller or Rabin tree automata. We investigate in this paper the isomorphism problem for $\omega$-tree-automatic structures. We prove…
The antiprism triangulation provides a natural way to subdivide a simplicial complex $\Delta$, similar to barycentric subdivision, which appeared independently in combinatorial algebraic topology and computer science. It can be defined as…
Let $\Delta$ be simplicial complex and let $k[\Delta]$ denote the Stanley--Reisner ring corresponding to $\Delta$. Suppose that $k[\Delta]$ has a pure free resolution. Then we describe the Betti numbers and the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicity…
In the 70:th, combinatorialists begun to systematically relate simplicial complexes and polynomial algebras, named Stanley-Reisner rings or face rings. This demanded an algebraization of the simplicial complexes, that turned the empty…
Let $R$ be a semilocal Dedekind domain. Under certain assumptions, we show that two (not necessarily unimodular) hermitian forms over an $R$-algebra with involution, which are rationally ismorphic and have isomorphic semisimple coradicals,…
A triangulation of a simplicial complex $\Delta$ is called uniform if the $f$-vector of its restriction to a face of $\Delta$ depends only on the dimension of that face. This paper proves that the entries of the $h$-vector of a uniform…
Macaulay Duality, between quotients of a polynomial ring over a field, annihilated by powers of the variables, and finitely generated submodules of the ring's graded dual, is generalized over any Noetherian ring, and used to provide…
