In this paper, we give a new and efficient algebraic criterion for the pure as well as non-pure shellability of simplicial complex $\Delta$ over [n]. We also give an algebraic characterization of a leaf in a simplicial complex (defined in…

The face ring of a simplicial complex modulo m generic linear forms is shown to have finite local cohomology if and only if the link of every face of dimension m or more is `nonsingular', i.e., has the homology of a wedge of spheres of the…

If a pure simplicial complex is partitionable, then its $h$-vector has a combinatorial interpretation in terms of any partitioning of the complex. Given a non-partitionable complex $\Delta$, we construct a complex $\Gamma \supseteq \Delta$…

A simplicial complex $\Delta$ is a virtually Cohen-Macaulay simplicial complex if its associated Stanley-Reisner ring $S$ has a virtual resolution, as defined by Berkesch, Erman, and Smith, of length ${\rm codim}(S)$. We provide a…

For a positive integer $k$ and a non-negative integer $t$ a class of simplicial complexes, to be denoted by $k$-${\rm CM}_t$, is introduced. This class generalizes two notions for simplicial complexes: being $k$-Cohen-Macaulay and…

We study the quotient complex $\Delta (B_{lm})/S_l\wr S_m$ as a means of deducing facts about the ring $k[x_1,..., x_{lm}]^{S_l\wr S_m}$. It is shown in [He] that this quotient complex is shellable when $l=2$, implying Cohen-Macaulayness of…

Suppose a group $G$ acts properly on a simplicial complex $\Gamma$. Let $l$ be the number of $G$-invariant vertices and $p_1, p_2, ... p_m$ be the sizes of the $G$-orbits having size greater than 1. Then $\Gamma$ must be a subcomplex of…

Suppose $\Delta$ is a pure simplicial complex on $n$ vertices having dimension $d$ and let $c = n-d-1$ be its codimension in the simplex. Terai and Yoshida proved that if the number of facets of $\Delta$ is at least $\binom{n}{c}-2c+1$,…

Via the BGG correspondence a simplicial complex Delta on [n] is transformed into a complex of coherent sheaves on P^n-1. We show that this complex reduces to a coherent sheaf F exactly when the Alexander dual Delta^* is Cohen-Macaulay. We…

Ehrenborg, Govindaiah, Park, and Readdy recently introduced the van der Waerden complex, a pure simplicial complex whose facets correspond to arithmetic progressions. Using techniques from combinatorial commutative algebra, we classify when…

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…

The cluster complex $\Delta (\Phi)$ is an abstract simplicial complex, introduced by Fomin and Zelevinsky for a finite root system $\Phi$. The positive part of $\Delta (\Phi)$ naturally defines a simplicial subdivision of the simplex on the…

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…

A construction of bases for cell modules of the Birman--Murakami--Wenzl (or B--M--W) algebra $B_n(q,r)$ by lifting bases for cell modules of $B_{n-1}(q,r)$ is given. By iterating this procedure, we produce cellular bases for B--M--W…

We introduce and study a family of simplicial complexes associated to an arbitrary finite root system and a nonnegative integer parameter m. For m=1, our construction specializes to the (simplicial) generalized associahedra or,…
