Abstract

It is shown that the h-vectors of Stanley-Reisner rings of three classes of matroids are pure O-sequences. The classes are (a) matroids that are truncations of other matroids, or more generally of Cohen-Macaulay complexes, (b) matroids whose dual is (rank + 2)-partite, and (c) matroids of Cohen-Macaulay type at most five. Consequences for the computational search for a counterexample to a conjecture of Stanley are discussed.
