A Gorenstein simplicial complex for symmetric minors

Commutative Algebra 2014-09-09 v1

Abstract

We show that the ideal generated by the (n2)(n-2) minors of a general symmetric nn by nn matrix has an initial ideal that is the Stanley-Reisner ideal of the boundary complex of a simplicial polytope and has the same Betti numbers.
