Morse Matchings on a Hypersimplex

Combinatorics 2012-11-29 v1 Geometric Topology

Abstract

We present a family of complete acyclic Morse matchings on the face lattice of a hypersimplex. Since a hypersimplex is a convex polytope, there is a natural way to form a CW complex from its faces. In a future paper we will utilize these matchings to classify every subcomplex whose reduced homology groups are concentrated in a single degree and describe a homology basis for each of them.
