Abstract

The set of all \ell-zero-sumfree subsets of Z/nZ\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z} is a simplicial complex denoted by Δn,\Delta_{n,\ell} We create an algorithm via defining a set of integer partitions we call (n,)(n,\ell)-congruent partitions in order to compute this complex for moderately-sized parameters nn and \ell. We also theoretically determine Δn,\Delta_{n,\ell} for several infinite families of parameters, and compute the intersection lattices and the characteristic polynomials of the corresponding coordinate subspace arrangements.
