Results of R. Stanley and M. Masuda completely characterize the h-vectors of simplicial posets whose order complexes are spheres. In this paper we examine the corresponding question in the case where the order complex is a ball. Using the…

As is well known, h-vectors of simple (or simplicial) convex polytopes are characterized. In fact, those h-vectors must satisfy Dehn-Sommerville equations and some other inequalities. Simple convex polytopes determine Gorenstein* simplicial…

A relative simplicial complex is a collection of sets of the form $\Delta \setminus \Gamma$, where $\Gamma \subset \Delta$ are simplicial complexes. Relative complexes played key roles in recent advances in algebraic, geometric, and…

In this paper, we study face vectors of simplicial posets that are the face posets of cell decompositions of topological manifolds without boundary. We characterize all possible face vectors of simplicial posets whose geometric realizations…

The family of Buchsbaum simplicial posets generalizes the family of simplicial cell manifolds. The $h'$-vector of a simplicial complex or simplicial poset encodes the combinatorial and topological data of its face numbers and the reduced…

Given an infinite field $\mathbb{k}$ and a simplicial complex $\Delta$, a common theme in studying the $f$- and $h$-vectors of $\Delta$ has been the consideration of the Hilbert series of the Stanley--Reisner ring $\mathbb{k}[\Delta]$…

In this paper, we characterize all possible h-vectors of 2-dimensional Buchsbaum simplicial complexes.

We study $h$-vectors of simplicial complexes which satisfy Serre's condition ($S_r$). We say that a simplicial complex $\Delta$ satisfies Serre's condition ($S_r$) if $\tilde H_i(\lk_\Delta(F);K)=0$ for all faces $F \in \Delta$ and for all…

The classical Dehn--Sommerville relations assert that the $h$-vector of an Eulerian simplicial complex is symmetric. We establish three generalizations of the Dehn--Sommerville relations: one for the $h$-vectors of pure simplicial…

Let ${\mathfrak{g}}$ be a complex semisimple Lie algebra with Borel subalgebra ${\mathfrak{b}}$ and corresponding nilradical ${\mathfrak{n}}$. We show that singular Whittaker modules $M$ are simple if and only if the space $\hbox{Wh}\,M$ of…

For a simplicial complex or more generally Boolean cell complex $\Delta$ we study the behavior of the $f$- and $h$-vector under barycentric subdivision. We show that if $\Delta$ has a non-negative $h$-vector then the $h$-polynomial of its…

Face numbers of triangulations of simplicial complexes were studied by Stanley by use of his concept of a local $h$-vector. It is shown that a parallel theory exists for cubical subdivisions of cubical complexes, in which the role of the…

This article presents a simple characterization for entangled vectors in a finite dimensional Hilbert space $H$. The characterization is in terms of the coefficients of an expansion of the vector relative to an orthonormal basis for $H$.…

We give a negative answer to a question proposed in [3], regarding the $h$-vector of ($S_r$) simplicial complexes.

Any manifold with boundary gives rise to a Poincare duality algebra in a natural way. Given a simplicial poset $S$ whose geometric realization is a closed orientable homology manifold, and a characteristic function, we construct a manifold…

We find families of simplicial complexes where the simplicial chromatic polynomials defined by Cooper--de Silva--Sazdanovic \cite{CdSS} are Hilbert series of Stanley--Reisner rings of auxiliary simplicial complexes. As a result, such…

We describe two methods for showing that a vector can not be the f-vector of a homology d-ball. As a consequence, we disprove a conjectured characterization of the f-vectors of balls of dimension five and higher due to Billera and Lee. We…

The $h$-vectors of homogeneous rings are one of the most important invariants that often reflect ring-theoretic properties. On the other hand, there are few examples of edge rings of graphs whose $h$-vectors are explicitly computed. In this…

An h-tiling on a finite simplicial complex is a partition of its geometric realization by maximal simplices deprived of several codimension one faces together with possibly their remaining face of highest codimension. In this last case, the…

Let M be a matroid on E, representable over a field of characteristic zero. We show that h-vectors of the following simplicial complexes are log-concave: 1. The matroid complex of independent subsets of E. 2. The broken circuit complex of…
