Poset-theoretic generalizations of set-theoretic committee constructions are presented. The structure of the corresponding subposets is described. Sequences of irreducible fractions associated to the principal order ideals of finite bounded…
The concept of Cohen-Macaulay complexes emerged in the mid-1970s and swiftly became the focal point of an attractive and richly connected new area of mathematics, at the crossroads of combinatoics, commutative algebra and topology. As the…
Recently a new kind of approximation to continuum topological spaces has been introduced, the approximating spaces being partially ordered sets (posets) with a finite or at most a countable number of points. The partial order endows a poset…
For a Cohen-Macaulay ring $R$, we exhibit the equivalence of the bounded derived categories of certain resolving subcategories, which, amongst other results, yields an equivalence of the bounded derived category of finite length and finite…
We describe and classify countable Boolean rings (which may or may not have a multiplicative identity) with finitely many distinguished ideals whose elementary theory is countably categorical. This extends the description by Macintyre and…
A combinatorial study of multiple $q$-integrals is developed. This includes a $q$-volume of a convex polytope, which depends upon the order of $q$-integration. A multiple $q$-integral over an order polytope of a poset is interpreted as a…
This paper proves that the homotopy type of a pointed, simply-connected, 2-reduced simplicial set is determined by the chain-complex augmented by functorial diagonal and higher diagonal maps (a simple generalization of the ones used to…
We explain how to set up the homotopy spectral sequence of a (co)simplicial object in an $\infty$-category, with an emphasis on how to construct the differentials in a model-invariant manner.
In this paper we study the finitely generated bigraded modules over a standard bigraded polynomial ring which are relative Cohen-Macaulay or relative unmixed with respect to one of the irrelevant bigraded ideals. A generalization of…
Motivation coming from the study of affine Weyl groups, a structure of ranked poset is defined on the set of circular permutations in $S_n$ (that is, $n$-cycles). It is isomorphic to the poset of so-called admitted vectors, and to an…
In the last decade, the order polytope of the zigzag poset has been thoroughly studied. A related poset, called \emph{crown poset}, obtained by adding an extra relation between the endpoints of an even zigzag poset, is not so well…
We describe the structure of the monoid of natural-valued monotone functions on an arbitrary poset. For this monoid we provide a presentation, a characterization of prime elements, and a description of its convex hull. We also study the…
We develop a tighter implementation of basic PL topology, which keeps track of some combinatorial structure beyond PL homeomorphism type. With this technique we clarify some aspects of PL transversality and give combinatorial proofs of a…
These course note first provide an introduction to secondary characteristic classes and differential cohomology. They continue with a presentation of a stable homotopy theoretic approach to the theory of differential extensions of…
We prove that wheels and block graphs have sequentially Cohen-Macaulay binomial edge ideals. Moreover, we provide a construction of new families of sequentially Cohen-Macaulay graphs by cones.
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…
In this paper, we review a method for computing and parameterizing the set of homotopy classes of chain maps between two chain complexes. This is then applied to finding topologically meaningful maps between simplicial complexes, which in…
There is a canonical way to associate two simplicial complexes K, L to any relation $R\subset X\times Y$. Moreover, the geometric realizations of K and L are homotopy equivalent. This was studied in the fifties by C.H. Dowker. In this…
We notice the connection between almost Cohen-Macaulay rings and the Cohen-Macaulay defect. We introduce a Serre-type condition for modules, that is connected to the Cohen-Macaulay defect in the same way that the condition $(S_n)$ is…
Let $M$ be an $R$-module over a Noetherian ring $R$ and $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of $R$ with $c={\rm cd}(\mathfrak{a},M)$. First, we prove that $M$ is finite $\mathfrak{a}$-relative Cohen-Macaulay if and only if ${\rm…
