Let L be a lattice admitting a left-modular chain of length r, not necessarily maximal. We show that if either L is graded or the chain is modular, then the (r-2)-skeleton of L is vertex-decomposable (hence shellable). This proves a…
Let $X$ be a compact K\"ahler space with klt singularities and vanishing first Chern class. We prove the Bochner principle for holomorphic tensors on the smooth locus of $X$: any such tensor is parallel with respect to the singular…
The aim of this note is to construct sequences of vector bundles with unbounded rank and discriminant on an arbitrary algebraic surface. This problem, on principally polarized abelian varieties with cyclic Neron-Severi group generated by…
The question of shellability of complexes of directed trees was asked by R. Stanley. D. Kozlov showed that the existence of a complete source in a directed graph provides a shelling of its complex of directed trees. We will show that this…
In this paper, we establish the sheafified version of the cohomological integrality conjecture for stacks obtained as a quotient of a smooth affine symmetric algebraic variety by a reductive algebraic group equipped with an invariant…
We construct decompositions of: (1) the cohomology of smooth stacks, (2) the Borel--Moore homology of $0$-shifted symplectic stacks, and (3) the vanishing cycle cohomology of $(-1)$-shifted symplectic stacks, assuming a good moduli space…
Tilting theory is one of the central tools in modern representation theory, in particular in the study of Cohen-Macaulay representations. We study Cohen-Macaulay representations of $\mathbb N$-graded Artin-Schelter Gorenstein algebras $A$…
This paper analyzes the representation theoretic stability, in the sense of Thomas Church and Benson Farb, of the rank-selected homology of the Boolean lattice and the partition lattice, proving sharp uniform representation stability bounds…
For a full-rank integral lattice $\mathcal{L}\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, Regev and Stephens-Davidowitz proved that \[N_{=k}(\mathcal{L}):=|\{y\in\mathcal{L}:\lVert y\rVert^2=k\}|\le 2\binom{n+2k-2}{2k-1}.\] We classify the equality cases. For…
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…
Given any finite simplicial complex \Delta, we show how to construct a new simplicial complex \Delta_{\chi} that is balanced and vertex decomposable. Moreover, we show that the h-vector of the simplicial complex \Delta_{\chi} is precisely…
Shelling orders are a ubiquitous tool used to understand invariants of cell complexes. Significant effort has been made to develop techniques to decide when a given complex is shellable. However, empirical evidence shows that some shelling…
We consider a simplicial complex generaliztion of a result of Billera and Meyers that every nonshellable poset contains the smallest nonshellable poset as an induced subposet. We prove that every nonshellable $2$-dimensional simplicial…
We study the cohomology ring of the Bott--Samelson variety. We compute an explicit presentation of this ring via Soergel's result, which implies that it is a purely combinatorial invariant. We use the presentation to introduce the…
Let $\Delta$ be a stable simplicial complex on $n$ vertexes. Over an arbitrary base field $K$, the symmetric algebraic shifted complex $\Delta^s$ of $\Delta$ is defined. It is proved that the Betti numbers of the Stanley-Reisner ideals in…
We recently introduced a notion of tilings of geometric realizations of finite relative simplicial complexes and related those tilings to the discrete Morse theory of R. Forman, especially when they have the property of being shellable, a…
This thesis splits into two major parts. The connection between the two parts is the notion of "categorification" which we shortly explain/recall in the introduction. In the first part of this thesis we extend Bar-Natan's cobordism based…
We construct and analyze an explicit basis for the homology of the boolean complex of a Coxeter system. This gives combinatorial meaning to the spheres in the wedge sum describing the homotopy type of the complex. We assign a set of…
The lattice of intersections of reflecting hyperplanes of a complex reflection group W may be considered as the poset of 1-eigenspaces of the elements of W. In this paper we replace 1 with an arbitrary eigenvalue and study the topology and…
Hypersimplices are well-studied objects in combinatorics, optimization, and representation theory. For each hypersimplex, we define a new family of subpolytopes, called r-stable hypersimplices, and show that a well-known regular unimodular…
