Abstract

For a set AA let SCA{{\mathbf {SC}}_A} be the poset of simplicial complexes whose vertices are in AA. For a function f:ABf : A \rightarrow B there are functors f!!,f,fii:SCASCB,f!,fi:SCBSCA, f^{! !}, f^{**}, f^{ii}: {{\mathbf {SC}}_A} \rightarrow {{\mathbf {SC}}_B}, \quad f^{!*}, f^{i*} : {{\mathbf {SC}}_B} \rightarrow {{\mathbf {SC}}_A}, forming a five sequence of adjoints f!!f!ffifiif^{ !!} \dashv f^{* !} \dashv f^{* *} \dashv f^{*i} \dashv f^{ii}. We investigate in detail these functors, and use this to give three categorical structures on simplicial complexes on finite sets such that the Stanley-Reisner correspondence to commutative monomial rings gives dualities.
