Higher Nerves of Simplicial Complexes

Abstract

We investigate generalized notions of the nerve complex for the facets of a simplicial complex. We show that the homologies of these higher nerve complexes determine the depth of the Stanley-Reisner ring k[Δ]k[\Delta] as well as the ff-vector and hh-vector of Δ\Delta. We present, as an application, a formula for computing regularity of monomial ideals.

We rewrite Section 4 to fix some errors and clarify the proofs
